Wow, it’s been a long time since we’ve done these on the blog! I moved this post to the top of the blog because it’s kind of a cool one, but at the same time, reflects the un-helpfulness of these blog posts.

If you happen to be reading these and all the comments, I suggest you stop — the post at the very top of the blog will be a million times more helpful.

Wishing you great sleep soon,

Q:
I have had insomnia for about 2 years and it is nearly impossible for me to sleep. I have to get up to work at 6 a.m., but don't get to sleep till -at best- 5:30. Does anyone know a way for me to get more sleep?

A:
This question is awfully hard to answer without lifestyle details, however, it definitly seems that you have a pretty bad case of insomnia. While Im not an insomniac, my friend used to be and he would just not sleep for a couple days and then just collapse.

The norm of what you can do is take sleeping pills, avoid caffiene consumption, and try incest in your pillow or something like that. If you have a stressful lifestyle then you should pickup meditation to get rid of it and allow sleep. A visit of the family practitioner is also something you should do.

Now what my friend did was he searched up the internet after being on pills for awhile and found "brainwave technology" soundtracks, now I dont know if it was something about him that built well with this but the result was that he essentially "cured" insomnia.

But anyways, my advice is

1. Do simple lifestyle changes (no caffiene, no eating past 6, maybe a warm bath, get relaxed, etc.)
2. Try meditation or yoga if you're stressful
3. See a Doctor
4. Try "brainwave technology" , I only know that it worked for my friend, but I also belive it has a 60 day guarantee.

Yes, very bad neighbors.Polite request is not an option so I'm looking for a solution for myself. I tried stuffing my ears with cotton and it does dampen the sound a bit but can still hear a bit of the noise. And though noise may not be much, my emotions would go surging which is probably also the reason of me not being able to relax.Is there an ear deafener tool for sleeping? like the ones used in constuction sites, except much more comfortable for sleeping? What type of materials are used for sound proofing a room?(an expensive option)
Note that I only have insomnia when there are unnatural sounds during sleep so only looking for a solution to minimize or,hopefully, eliminate sound.

I used a pair of my husband's earplugs from work once to drown out night time noise and it worked like a dream. Cotton doesn't seem to help much but the little rubber earplugs actually did a great job.
Google some natural teas/herbs to help insomnia. There are things that will help without the use of sleeping pills.

i have insomnia and am wondering how i can deal with it. a friend of mine who has it also says sleeping meds make things worse, so never bothered telling doctor. anyone know another solution or how they get by with insomnia please?

Here are some things you can try to make you sleep better:
1. Improve your sleep habits. Work on your relaxation techniques. Make your environment conducive for sleeping and establish a bedtime routine.
2. Avoid large meals, alcohol, caffeine and nicotine before sleeping. Strenuous activities should also be avoided.
3. A relaxing activity like reading or listening to music will help if you do not fall asleep within 20 or 30 minutes.
4. Limit daytime naps to consolidate a night’s sleep.

I always have a hard time getting to sleep, and I am usually awake till 2 am or later. How can I sleep more easily?

Some things that have helped me or tips I learned in psychology class include:
-Not drinking caffeine at least 4 hours before sleep
- Not eating an hour before sleep
- Making sure all the lights from clocks, stereos, etc. in the room are covered up
- Making the area you sleep in just for sleep, so that you associate it with sleeping. That means don't text, play guitar, etc. on your bed/in your bed.
- Take some deep breaths while starting to sleep, it will help the thoughts in your head go away faster
- Take 15 minutes to relax before going to bed.

That's kinda helped my insomnia, but it does still come back sometimes. Guess not everything can find a perfect cure.

On occasion (2x or 3x a week) I take Clairitin-D for my sinuses. I believe I am allergic to dust or maybe the cat. My sinuses bother me all winter, so I'd guess dust (itchy/stuffy/headaches), and yes I do dust and have my furnace filter replaced. I take no other meds.

On the Clairitin-D 24-hour —anyone know if that's what's keeping me awake? I only sleep 2 hours to 4 hours at a time. Benadryl makes me way too sleepy to function unless I take it at bedtime but then I'm stuffy all day & I'm knocked out too long & sleep late. I need some antihistamine & some nasal decongestant in amounts that relieve symptoms, yet help. Solutions?
Wow - great advice so far. No wonder I can't sleep and my BP is 140/90. I better find a reduced combination that's still effective. Thanks!

Could absolutely be the pseudo in your Claritin. That is a mega dose of pseudoephedrine. Normal doseage is 30mg. Try the plain Claritin and get a box of phenylephrine instead. It will not keep you awake. Take them both every day for my allergies, does make me drowsy, does not keep me awake.

lately sleep is not coming naturally, or i have really weird sleep patterns, like waking up earlier than normal or stuff like that.
are there any natural herbs/spices that can actually cure insomnia I've heard of chamomile tea, but some more advice is much appreciated ^^ thank yooo
im gonna have to get some melatonin :)

I've heard that valerian root works pretty well, but I've always personally been a fan of melatonin.

Melatonin worked better for me than any prescription sleeping pills, and, because it's a naturally-occuring human hormone, I feel more comfortable taking it, and it doesn't leave me with any kind of a "hangover" the next morning.

I have a terrible insomnia problem and nothing seems to be working. So I thought I'd give acupuncture a chance. I just don't understand how this will work for insomnia. Some info would be great! I'm on my last legs trying to sleep. :(
I personally have had great results using acupuncture to help me sleep. Without going in to a long explanation, think of acupuncture as "re-wiring" your system to help nurture your body back to it's natural state of health. It's really painless. Your acupuncturist will use tiny needles the size of a human hair, maybe 10-12 of them, while you rest on a treatment table and relax. You may feel better after the first treatment, or it might take a few sessions for you to feel better. The acupuncturists often have Chinese herbs or even tea remedies they use in conjunction to help you.

For me, acupuncture helped me calm down enough physically and mentally to establish good sleep patterns again, and then I no longer needed it. Yay!

I was given a weeks prescription as a short term solution as I was not sleeping at all and thought I was going insane from tiredness, but I feel as though they are making me depressed. I just feel so down all the time, and I think I can pin point it to when I started taking the meds. Is this possible and has anyone else experienced anything else like it? Thanks in advance.

Oh dear, what idiotic Doctor prescribed you a 'Z' drug for insomnia? He's clearly ignored current prescribing guidelines which discourages prescribing this drug in such instances.

You can become addicted to Zopiclone in as little as 4 days. If you take the drug for three nights in a row and omit on the fourth night, you will experience some degree of withdrawal. The body also develops tolerance very quickly to this drug very quickly, after which time it is completely worthless. Studies show that patients only got to sleep 30 minutes earlier than not taking Zopiclone.

A classic side effect of Benzo's is depression. Stop taking them and see your GP.

I am looking to ween off my treatment (Medication) that the doctor (GP) has recommended me and I am looking to treat my depression and Insomnia naturally, and my body isn't reacting well with my medication so I am going to try ween my way off the medication.

Have you gone natural for you depression and Insomnia?
If so what natural products did you use and was it successful?
How long would you have to take the product/products for?
Other information: I also have anixity as well.

St. johns wort worked for me for the depression. You can pick this up at any drug store. Try working out for the insomnia. Usually if you work out 3 times per wk your body will allow you to go to sleep easier.
