When I can't sleep I read, does the trick just about every time.

Don't eat! You should never eat 2 hours before sleep. It makes your stomach have to work, stopping you from being able to sleep easily!

I generally just lie in bed, think... usually I'm over excited, so I bounce in my bed a bit, curl into random positions, sqeeuze my pillow to let out excited tension, until I get so exaughsted... I go to sleep XD I like looking out of the window at night...

Just read the Bible before you go to sleep. Does the trick for me everytime.

Try Melatonin! It worked for me.

I read and/or drink when I have trouble sleeping.

I make an eye pillow out of one or two wash towels. placed over my eyes before bed shuts the world out visually. Simple breathing techniques usually send me right off to the dreamfields.

First of all, dont eat before you go to sleep.

Secondly, when i cant sleep, i get up and read a book until i'm tierd. Tossing and turning on the bed never works.

Or, knowing that i have to wake up earlier the next day and i'm not yet asleep. I take a shot of Nyquil that makes me go to bed pretty quickly. This stuff makes you tierd and it hasnt hurt me.

Goodluck, and sleep well.

what do you do when you can't sleep

First, Don't eat before sleeping.

Second, don't drnk alot of soda after about 4:00 p.m.

Third, drink milk and readig usually helps me.

Fourth, you could just daydream about something that you want to happen till you sleep.

Fifth, take a nice, hot, soothing bath.

 

[Kate16]

If none of the above works, take a Benadryl, Mortrin, or a Nyquil. (Sorry for all of the misspellings)

 

[Febe]

Ah... I eat BEFORE I go to bed...

If I can not sleep, it is usually because of problems - so I pray!

I do not count sheep - I talk to the Shepherd!!!

yeah its right, its based on my own experience..if u will eat at night be sure that u will sleep after two hours

Yeah, but it induces nightmares, and strange dreams.

Also, prolonged usage of this substance can cause one to have heart problems.

are you sure? my dad uses it.

 

[TheSilentMan]

i take melatonin sometimes too. It really helps, but i dont have strange dreams (well, stranger than normal anyway)

take a look at that too, see if that helps.

 

[woobadooba]

Well, one thing to keep in mind is that not everyone will have the same reaction to it. I had terrible nightmares whenever I took it. And several other people informed me that they too had nightmares.

Also, it messes with your serotonin, which could lead to other problems later on in life.

I'll see if I can dig up some info for you, and I will send it to you via PM, so that you can give it to your dad.

ive always had trouble sleeping its alwasy been so frustrating. i have tried heaps of things eg: pills and stuff. but yeah one thing that has helped me get to sleep is nice warm hot coco, and a bannana. even though eating before you go to sleep can make your stomach go bad, a bannana is soft and squishhie so it goes through your system quicker. and having your full stomach makes you feel comfortable.
