Ok, does anyone have any cures or thoughts or ideas on how to cure Insomnia... It's been an issue for about 5 months and it doesn't seem to be going away any time soon... any suggestions?

it could have to do with your diet...

try quitting caffeine and/or liquor for a week or so, see if that helps. both of those things interfere with my sleep. maybe worth a try?

Thanks Cee...
I don't drink anything caffeinated... nada, zilch, zero. It caused (in the past) my migraines so I had to cut it out completely. And, I haven't had alcohol in 3 weeks Been a good girl. I eat pretty healthy - definitely my quota of veggies and fruits, proteins. My carbs have been cut drastically.
I think it's stress... and then I am now stressing about falling asleep now... Cecile sent me a site to try relaxing techniques - gunna try it tonight.
Thanks again...

hmm... in that case, a good orgasm before sleep might help you relax! i've known a few people to use this technique to help them fall asleep.

lol... Thanks Cee for the advice.

Hi Dimples,

Insomnia, bah,too bad!

Any idea of the origin?

If you can handle it, relaxing music (with those sonar dolphin sounds , breathing exercises, no TV the hour before you go to bed, ...

Hi!!
Kinda got an idea as to the origin... I think too much! lol... And, I think the tv was interfering as well. So, I stopped that...
I used to listen to whale/dolphin sounds all the time before I went to bed, but I didn't bring them (those cd's) with me nor can I find those kind of cd's here.
I have recently tried the breathing techniques as well...
Thanks for the advice...

Hmm, my tips weren't really new for you. Of course, could have known. Anyway, succes with the fight-the-insomnia-battle!

It's ok... thanks for the advice tho... always welcomed...
I didn't really mention what I have tried... so, thank you.

I suffer from insomnia quite often. I was told to start a routine. Shut the TV off one hour before going to bed. Then do something, the same thing everyday. It is kinda like giving your body a warning that it WILL go to sleep soon.

I hope your insomnia has been over by now. But here are something that could defile a good night's sleep.
- exercise in the evening or at night (Exercise helps some people to sleep. But in some, it raises certain hormone levels and could keep you active for hours.)
- computer and TV. They are too good stimuli.
- your air-con noises, water dripping, street lights, etc.

Anyway, if you think it's because of your work, you might wanna try listing down the things you have to finish and the time you need to work on them. This works for me as after I do this I always feel that I still have enough time (and leave them til later )

Exercising a bit (during the day) could help a great deal too. It's a cure for everything.

Thanks ladies....
I've been trying anything/everything... thank you
I exercise at night and I know it keeps me up til the wee hours... So, on my holidays, I'm gonna exercise as soon as I get up. I know that will make a difference cuz the actual day exercising makes me sleepy at night.
Yeah, I know the computer and TV are evil for insomnia... probably another reason for mine. So, I have turned off the tv @ night... It's the computer, I am slowly weaning myself off.
It's not the work so much... it's planning for my upcoming courses that has me a little stressed...

Thanks Tinc... where you been hiding??? Miss ya!!!

@ Vayda... thanks... I read this a few days ago and have actually begun to do this... it actually works... Thank you
