I have had insomnia for about 6 weeks now.
I used to be able to fall asleep soon as my
head hit the pillow, and sleep for 10 hours.

Insomnia is driving me round the twist
It affects everything else in your life
appetite, concentration,moods, health

So far i have tried Kalms, Nitol, Valerina
and homeopathic sleepy tablets- but , to be
honest they are crap.(i don't want to get hooked on 'proper' medication)

I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread,
and until someone comes up with anything better,
i shall stick to my method of chainsmoking and
twiddling around on the org till i pass out

And here Babycakes
I feel for ya, cause i know how shitty it is

Abbie said:

I've heard that drinking warm milk helps.

GermanHottie1981 said:

thank you for your advice..

BabyCakes said:

No problem!
Try it out and lemme know if it helped.

BabyCakes said:

I know this may not be the case, but make sure you aren't suffering from Anxiety(an Anxiety disorder due to stress or a tramatic incident), a sleep disorder such as Sleep Apnea or something along that line.

Besides that:

1) Stay away from caffeine and sugar(ie: Soda, Coffee, Candy, any type of sweets) like 3-4 hours before bedtime. Drink water, but not too much or you'll wake up wanting to go to the bathroom

2) Try working out after work to wear yourself out before bedtime like running or jogging.

3) Watch some TV before you go to sleep, something relaxing, not an Action movie or Horror flick. Put the TV on SLEEP MODE and pass out watching TV.

4) Make sure you're not avoiding any kind of problems, confront it so your head is a bit more clear before going to bed.

5) There are some heavy foods that may just make you feel sleepy, meats. Glass of warm milk can help!

6) Some ppl may disgree with them, but some sleeping pills may help you out, one or two pills of Nytol or another brand may do the trick.

7) Talk to a doctor if this keeps up for a few weeks.

Hope these help!

thanks rudedog, might give some of those a go myself, especially the passing out in front of tv bit

rudedog said:

Wow.. thanks for taking the time to write all these.. I will do that.. And i will also give thought to the possibility taht it may be the Aniexity disorder.. Thank you very much!!! Hope these help Abbie too...
