I Can't Sleep

I know the feeling, I'm a d d adsd abcd so I'm all over the place. Try 3 mg of melatonin with some valarian tea and you'll be asleep 10 min later, no matter where you are.

I've been there. It got to the point where I would use the hours to listen to music and daydream. I LOOOOOVE music and began to "enjoy my awake hours, even though I was sleepy during the day. Later, I was diagnosed with depression and took Lexapro for a year. I think my sleeplessness was a symptom of the depression. I no longer take meds and I sleep very well. In fact, I can lay my head down and be asleep in minutes. I don't know why- but I do know that I miss those night hours of enjoying music.

I know how you feel.
I thought there was something so wrong with pushing my body to the point where it passes out and even when my head does hit the pillow and i wake up, i still get no rest. I'm still left really tired.
This is how my nights depend on my music to keep me occupied.
Least i'm not alone.

Try skullcap. Grandmasherbs.com sells a sleepytime blend with skullcap in it, they might still be giving out free samples----and I mean free, no S&H. Wash it down with some sort of sleepytime tea and you'll really be in business. Just keep in mind that herbal remedies can have drug interactions, too.

you know the counting sheep thing? well i've been trying something similar. basically the point is to clear your mind by focusing on the number of sheep. well just mentally make yourself clear your thoughts. focus on your breathing or count sheep or whatever. the biggest thing to tackle is clearing your mind of thoughts that keep your brain from shutting down.

sleep is overated!!!

take a long lukewarm bath with lavender oil, in it. Soak it up for at least half an hour and you'll fall into sleep almost right away. Plus during the day lay off them soda's and drink milk and water. The vitamin D in milk produces Calcium from UV light emitted from the sun. Its crazy but just drinking milk will not help you grow stronger bones, you need to get out. 20 minute minimum. Calcium is part of your bones, which is the main body part that produces fresh new blood. Without it, you will feel really really tired..forget meds, your body didn't need them when you were a baby, why start now?
