what to do when u cant sleep?

[madeara]

When I can't sleep, I either watch tv or spend time thinking.

Start by relaxing your tongue in the middle of your mouth so that it is not touching your teeth, the bottom of your mouth, or the roof of your mouth. Keep your tongue there, and then begin relaxing your whole body. Start with your toes, then your ankles, then your legs, and work your way all of the way up. Do it slowly and methodically to work the best. Picture and focus on keeping everything relaxed or even shake it a little to get your mind on that body part. This keeps your mind off of whatever is stressing you out or keeping you from sleeping and gets your body ready to recuperate.

I usually crash out before I even get to my arms. I do not know why this works so well, but my husband told me about it when we first started dating and I've been using it ever since. Hope this helps!

I usually read.  Another trick is to count backwards by threes.  Unless you have done it a lot, you have to think about it.  Start from 100 - even do the bottles of beer on the wall by threes.

You want to know what I do when I can't sleep? 

Well... I could go in to detail, but I'd rather keep that to myself. hahahahah!!



okay, on a serious note, I always have trouble sleeping at night. and I'm not one that likes taking pills. I never take them and refuse to use sleeping pills. So what I do is either read a book, or play on my computer, maybe take a hot bath with calming bath oils... or a nice massage always helps too

I just get up and start my day. If I get too tired during the day I take a quick nap. As it is, I probably only average between 5 - 6 hours sleep anyway.

Those of us that need very little sleep are actually the more fortunate ones.  I'm very active and require very little sleep.

I take a sleeping aid that contains Valerian root, Chamomile, and Melatonin that either works or tricks me by POS right to sleep.

Lay there - you will fall back asleep eventually, I always do.

[franlee46]

I don't do anything I just lay in bed.

I have 2 things I do first I try to write down everything that I am thinking about which clears my head because now it is on paper and I do not have to think about it anymore, nighty night

2nd one is I crochet a lot and if I am not able to sleep I will get up and start crocheting which is very relaxing and before you know it my eyes are closing and it is nighty, night.

Good luck just try it
