MERGED: How to conquer Insomnia

[sHe]

---

Only use your bed for sleeping

Refrain from using your bed to watch TV, pay bills, do work or reading. So when you go to bed your body knows it is time to sleep. *** is the only exception.

Stay away from caffeine, nicotine and alcohol at least 4-6 hours before bed

Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants that interfere with your ability to fall asleep. Coffee, tea, cola, cocoa, chocolate and some prescription and non-prescription drugs contain caffeine. Cigarettes and some drugs contain nicotine. Alcohol may seem to help you sleep in the beginning as it slows brain activity, but you will end end up having fragmented sleep.

Have a light snack before bed

If your stomach is too empty, that can interfere with sleep. However, if you eat a heavy meal before bedtime, that can interfere as well. Dairy products and turkey contain tryptophan, which acts as a natural sleep inducer. Tryptophan is probably why a warm glass of milk is sometimes recommended.

Make sure your bed and bedroom are quiet and comfortable

A hot room can be uncomfortable. A cooler room along with enough blankets to stay warm is recommended. If light in the early morning bothers you, get a blackout shade or wear a slumber mask. If noise bothers you, wear earplugs

[sHe]

Use sunlight to set your biological clock

As soon as you get up in the morning, go outside and turn your face to the sun for 15 minutes.

Based on my readings:

Listen to soothing music. Use an aromatherapy herbal pillow filled with herbs known to help induce sleep, such as lavender, or chamomile.

If you expect to sleep well at night don't take naps during the day.

Drink some herbal tea or take some herbal sleep inducer about forty five minutes before sleep time.

Don't engage in strenuous exercises before bedtime. Vigorous exercise during the day is good and necessary for a good night's sleep, but it should be done long before bedtime.

For the sake of a good night's sleep avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants that interfere with your natural ability to fall asleep. Caffeine can be found in coffee, tea, cola drinks, cocoa, chocolate and some prescription and non-prescription drugs. It may seem that alcohol helps you fall asleep, but it actually leads to broken sleep patterns.

For some, a light snack before bedtime may encourage a general feeling of well-being and help you fall asleep faster.

Have a warm glass of milk. This is a well known remedy. Milk contains tryptophan, which is a natural sleep inducer.

See a doctor if your sleeping problem continues
