actually it doesn't work tat way. you only have problems trying to recall things that happen after you take the medicine, and after which, the things that happen for the next few days. all flashes...Originally posted by aHGer^83:really?? den maybe i shld take those med in order to forget certain things... -

Try to 'educate' yourself to sleep... You can do so with some relaxation techniques like meditation, aroma / music therapy kinda thing.... Make sure that sleeping condition and air-ventilation is good...Originally posted by Burgerking:Having a sleeping disorder.

Alternatively, you can try seeing a professional (doctor) if it's giving you real serious problems... -
enlist into army !
army regime is really good to cultivate early sleep and early wake up habits. sleep at 2230 wake up at 0530 standard. -
Me too!!! but it can lead to blood pressure rise...after a few days of insomnia so beware... prolong insomnia can lead to memory loss

Melatonin helps.. or valerian.... understand that melatonin helps with the biological clock, valerian too... [/quote]

If you are guy masturbate before sleeping. -
Hello...
1. Sleep schedule. If u all have sleep problems, it could be due to irregular schedule. Sleep early n wake up early. No matter if u sleep well or not, always wake up early, no matter how hard, and go to bed early too. It will be hard in the beginning. But after few days, ur body should get the rythm and u'll be able to sleep well.
2. Ritual. Before going to bed, do a ritual. Ritual means a set of habits to make ur mind recognize that u'r switching off and going to sleep. It could be changing into a pyjama, or brushing ur teeth, or praying, or listening to the same soft music. Do these habits every night and make it a ritual, and go to bed immidiately. Don't take up an 'active' ritual such as reading or playing games, coz these work the opposite.
3. Self Hypnosis. For more help, try self-hypnosis. Convince urself that u'r sleeping and tired. 'When I count to three, I will get sleepy'. And, 'Now, when I count to three, I'll get sleepier'. And, 'When I count to three, Im in a calm peaceful place and I fall into deep sleep.'
4. Block noise, light, etc disruptions. If u can't, get an eye mask and ear plugs.
5. Herbs. If all these fail, take melatonin or herbs, or combo. Beware that these have 'side effects' such as inconsistency (some days dont work so well), tolerancy (after some time need to take more), dependancy (if u stop suddenly, cant sleep again). Don't ever increase ur dose and after some time reduce it gradually.
6. Doctor. Totally unadvisable coz u'll be given sleeping pills and definitely u'll have a new problem in ur hand. Just go to have a physical check to make sure it's not a problem with ur body, decline any offer of pills and do the above steps instead. -
Er...
I once read a book on sleeping disorder... the main pro is usually that your mind cant relaxed. aybe on something that is troubling you or stress on tomo event.
Try to relax your mind before you sleep. Plan and prepare your schedule for tomo if can. No cofee or tea before you sleep. Dun eat full before you sleep too.
If cant relax your mind... maybe u like to try aromatherapy... those scent that will make you feel very relaxed type...
If u r a serious one... pls pls pls.. go and see a doctor... i dun think anyone here thru words can cure your disorder. Cheerz~ -
Don't worry, you're not the only one with the problem.
You said you woke up quite late in the day, therefore I assume you have more than enough rest already. You haven't had your full 14 hours of staying awake yet, thats why you can't get to sleep, end up tossing here and there.. it's normal, you dont have insomnia.
This advice will work, if only you can drink.
Lets say you wanna sleep at 11:30pm sharp tonight.
1) Take a warm bath, 30 minutes beforehand.
2) And down a can or two of beer (preferably ABC stout / Baron). Get yourself slightly high.
3) Drink some water. Then go brush your teeth, at the same time wash your feet with warm water.
You'll find it easier to relax now + and you'll fall asleep in no time.
Tried and tested. Do keep me updated on your progress.
[Edit] Never drink yourself to sleep. Slightly high is enough. Otherwise you'll end up even more tired the next day. -

How?
-
don't watch tv or stare at the computer just before going to sleep.try to have at least half and hour of break to let your mind rest first and of course don't take naps during the day.
-
well here are some "old wife's tales" about insomia
1) Drink a glass or warm milk before bed
2) take a hot shower before going to bed
3) Place a pillow under your leg to improve blood circulation to your brain.
Personally 3. worked for me
never tried the other 2 -
Drink, then rest a while, go pee first then go and sleep?Originally posted by charlize:I also don't want to have to get up from my bed 3 times during the night to go pee.
How?
One can of beer usually isn't much on the bladder... Two cans and I still dont wake up in the middle of the night to go pee.
