How do I get a good nights sleep?

Stay as far from this site as you can, relax.

agree this post is nothing but negative mindsets get away from it

I go to bed at 9 p.m. and get up at 4:30 a.m. This has caused problems for me because my family wants to stay up later and they make noise. The various pets also keep me up. I don't have so much trouble falling asleep but if something wakes me during the night, I'm up for the duration. Chamomile tea has been a God send for me - but it has to have honey in it. I also have to have a dark and quiet room away from my pets. I know that may sound extreme but I can't function adequately when I'm tired during the day.

Melatonin

So you've tried it I see?

Melatonin is found in many areas of many animals. It is involved in the skin coloration of amphibians, and in the thermal or motor regulation in some higher animals. Its major regulatory role is in response to light and, in man, is the major hormone produced by the pineal gland. This popular gland in the brain (incidentally the only unpaired site in the brain) has long been the darling of the new-age set as it is the so-called third eye. Its primary hormone, melatonin, has been the subject of many studies related to brain function. It has effects on other brain bodies that are themselves involved in hormone secretion. It has been implicated in behavioral and emotional changes in man, including anxiety, seasonal depression, and delayed sleep-phase syndrome (DSPS, with a delay in getting to sleep, and delay in coming awake). Its function is strongly affected by exposure to light, and it has been referred to as the body's hormone of darkness. And there is no question but that the biochemistry of the brain allows it to know what time of day it is. Studies with the pineal in the rat have shown that the enzymatic activity needed to run the acetylation reaction (using N-acetyltransferase, which produces melatonin from its original serotonin precursor) is 45 times more active at 10:00 PM than it is at 10:00 AM.

Try listening to some binaural beats in the delta frequency. There's a bunch on youtube.

Yes works a treat! Im only on 3mg tabs but there are 3,6& 10mg i doubled dose took two 3 mg tabs was out like a log in 15 mins much healthier than pharma tranquilisers gives you wonderful REM sleep important for body n mind revitalisation cheap stuff and IT WORKS

Some of them binaural beats are deppressing

When you find out let me know. I would love to be able to sleep for up to 6 hours at a time. For the past several months I have had really bad sleeping problems. Often I can only get 2-3 hours at a time.

It is down to sleep quality not duration if ylu get a solid 3/4 hours in it beats a night of 8/9 hours of light sleep/agitation

stop the drugs. caffeine, marijuana, etc.

Melatonin
Magnesium
Valerian & Chamomile are good herbal relaxants.

If it's just a temporary bout of insomnia then take symptomatic relief..

If it's long-term you need to figure out the root cause:

Persistent stress
Adrenal fatigue
Thyroid imbalances
...are amongst the most over-looked and common root causes of insomnia.

Paranoia was never a problem for me. While it was my favorite thing to do before bed, then read a book or watch something on tv for a bit, it can mess with your REM cycle and rest will not be as deep.

Insomnia sucks, but stressing about it doesn't help. Learn to meditate. Medications are temporary.

A nice orgasm doesn't hurt either. Have fun!

Benadryl is a safe otc medicine. Take 50mg and call me in the morn.

did you try lying down, and closing your eyes?

that one always does the trick for me

I suggest getting a sleep app which tracks you and wakes you up at the best time in your sleep cycle. Sleep cycle is one.

organic apple cider vinegar helped me but be sure to dilute with water and just 2 tablespoons

warning: Im not responsible of anything bad it can do to your stomach or even yourself

To get tired enough to sleep well is to do enuff You do not regret doing so it does not eat at your conscience.
