Any suggestions for insomnia? (home remedies)?
12 Oct 2008
Insomnia can be caused by many different, and also serious deceases, not only by stress.
Otherwise have a warm shower, or just wash your face with warm water. If you can not sleep, relax. Do not try feverish to fall in sleep, do not become nervous that you'll be tired next day, if you won't sleep now! Try to think something neutral, separate your self from your daily problems. Even without sleeping, give your body the rest it needs..
In the evening, do not take food or tea, have a short(or long) walk, air the room before you go to bed. Tell yourself that you were diligent today, and now you deserve to rest.
I would suggest to have a check up by a doctor. If you wake up in the night permanently, at the same time, you have for sure health trouble.
Also herbs are not good on a long term, to handle insomnia. You should find out what it is, that doesn't let you sleep. Maybe it is a natural process of aging.

I bee lieve i suffer from it sometimes….like right now but i dont mind it tonite lol
You shuold probably find sumthin to do that will use a sufficient amount of your energy such as exercising,tidying up, or reading book…but w/e u do dont watch t.v….it wont help..dont even listen to music…jus make sure your mind is focusing and believe me you will get tired…wake up at a normal time the next day whether ur tired or not and go to bed at an appropriate time after working out or w/e…I think u will feel better!

Well..its 3:40 am here..so obviously I'm no expert..I take a warm shower then read…my husband is snoring right now btw lol
I read an article once on self relaxation. You start by concentrating on the top of your head…then slowly work your way down, ears, mouth, chin, neck, shoulders, ect…concentrating only on the one particualr area at a time (for a few seconds)..it said you can just think of that part, or imagine you're getting a slow massage in the area…I feel tingles as I concentrate and it does work..usually I'm asleep by my belly button lol…good luck to you

high energy exercise for at least 45 mins (long run, lifting weights, hot yoga, etc…), a hot shower and a good book always does the trick for me.
i've always had the mind that races the second i get into bed — i have to be exhausted and thinking about something outside of life worries to fall asleep.

Drink warm milk before you sleep.
Wake up early in the morning so you will be tired by the time night comes.
