Insomnia

[Mayflower1]

Baby and an overactive mind makes it very hard to get to sleep, and get back to sleep. Very hard to just cut off.I know, no electronics. Easier said then done. I google everything. Lately just thinking about political stuff and how dangerous the world is that I brought my daughter into. My positive is the world needs light. I have to trust her life to God and raise her to be strong in Him, so that she can face any trial as it comes. She already is a light to every room. Brightens my day. But I sure miss sleep. I felt God telling me to rest in Him today as I was praying. It is a lot easier to give my anxieties to Him now, rather then in the past. Nights when the hubby is working and I am nursing, hard to file and get to sleep.

Step one, put down your phone.

Step two, play some music that helps you relax.

Step three, have a decent amount of water before hitting the hay. Somehow, this helps me sleep.

As does a little dark chocolate before bed. Try it! And no forums after eight pm!

I struggle with many of these issues myself. I have tried everything non-medically without success thus far; in my opinion, there are medications that help. If you are able to see a reputable doctor that can offer you medication that will help, please try to do so, just remember that most of these medications can present problems of their own with regards to dependency and unpleasant side-effects. I will definitely pray that the Lord guides you in finding whatever means may be able to lessen your burden. Blessings!

does this help?

there are others on youtube that play for hours, of just the sounds of rain and other soothing sounds

you can put some songs together that you choose, and play them over and over as a loop....

your screen will go dark, but the music will keep playing

I love all advice except putting phone and internet down. It is true though.
