Are there any ways to promote better sleep?
I do fall asleep reasonably easily but then awaken within the hour and then every hour or so after that.
Thanks for the great tips. I do usually sleep with a night light ...especially in a strange place. I will try some of those ideas tonight....starting with the bath. Ads |

Lock up the Internet. And put your phone away as the light emitted will trick your brain its daytime. Have a cool bath and wind down before sleeping.

dozens of reasons for that.
easiest one to fix is = GET OFF the computer 1 -2 hours before sleeping. Proven to disrupt the sleep functions. keep a Dark room keep a Cool room, drink a 8 oz of water (nothing else) 1 hour b4 sleep. use ear plugs. any night light equipment turn away from u or cover with tape. turn OFF phones - no really. your brain does get addicted to it being on. will wake u to check on it. Get a set time to sleep. with in a 30 minute window +or - 15min. |

*Don't eat heavy meals right before sleep.
* Avoid caffeinated drinks and alcohol. * Cut out all sourcesof of sound and light as you may be sensitive to either or both. * Apparently drinking cherry juice is good for making you feel sleepy. * Listening to white noise if anxiety or negative thoughts are keeping you up. You can download it or get an app for it or simply listen to a radio station with no signal. * Listen to relaxation tapes. * Curl your toes, hold for a few seconds and release. Keep repeating this and it helps to relax your mind and body. Hope this helps and sweet dreams |

That's quite severe insomnia. Recommend you see your doctor sooner rather than later, as quality sleep is essential to cellular health.
Get well soon :-) |
