i dont know why but im struggling to sleep worse of all time i do fall asleep its time to get up agan. any advice please?ASAP
Answer:
Lack of sleep, or an unwillingness to succumb to the night may be a result of underlying or subconscious problems. It may be that your life is unfulfilled, no genuine friends or partner, it may be that your mind is not active enough in spite of your normal daily routine. There's a big difference between physical and mental effort.You could try to set a routine for sleep. Stop watching tv at a certain time, do your thing in the bathroom and get ready for bed. Get a book for bedtime and dim the lights maybe an hour before you NEED to be asleep. Wind down, dont just jump into bed because everyone else has.Sorry if this answer is a bit mundane...but hope it helps. Goodnight GP.S sorry, just noticed the diabetes add-on. I thought Diabetes induced sleep. . hmm, maybe you should seek advice from your GP...will go and do a bit of swotting and get back to you.ok...http://www.motrin.com/vcrc/article.jhtml...this is one of many sites that basically outlines a wind down procedure somewhat like the one I have already told you (see I know a thing or two...) but apparently the insomnia and diabetes can't be related but dont quote me on that I'm no Doc... however, I reitterate (woo big word) that you should see your GP and air your concerns as there could be something not right...dont want to alarm you (especially at bedtime...) but he will be the one to advise you further. Hopefully it may be that you just need to have a routine...so try that for a while. Hope it helps. nite nite.
stop thinking too much wen u sleep that kills the sleep.
Get a prescription for ambien, works for me
Find some one to help with pleasant or erotic games to play an hour or so before bed time then you will sleep (appt. not necessary willing to travel only expenses charged)
Well they do have medication for that kind of thing. However, if you want to avoid the chemical route, then you need to wind down and relax before going to bed. Try drinking tea (decaf obviously...herbal even better) before going to bed and listening to soothing music. Maybe burn some incense or candles. Learning some meditation and yoga may also be helpful tools.
well I avoid day napes, play morning sports, cut off coffee and all back colored sodas, use bed for sleep only , and fix your wake up time irrespect of your sleeping time
few nights and your biological clock will be adjusted
I find I have the same problem. I normally read a mag or something%26lt; watch a bit of TV and then force myself to sleep
i strongly suggest valerian root. it's great at relieving stress and tension! you can get it over the counter and it's a great sleep aid! if you have one of those "racing minds" or "i can't turn my head off no matter how tired i am" then this will definitely help. you can find at your local grocery store in the pharmacy or herbal remedy section. start off taking 500-1000mgs, 30-45 minutes before you go to bed. now you can get this stuff in capsule form and it's 100% safe (my whole family has been taking it for years and our family doctor actually recommended it) however the only downside is that the more potent the brand your taking the stronger the smell. and this stuff smells AWFUL! but it's worth it. within 5-7 days you should notice a definite change in your sleep. WARNING! i strongly do not suggest that you take Tylenol PM and booze, in any form or combination. the main ingredient in Tylenol PM and Advil pm, or benadryl for that matter is diphenhydramine. here's what happens when you take it:
You can walk into a drugstore and choose from an array of sleep aids, offered without prescription. The main ingredient of over-the-counter sleeping pills is an antihistamine. Antihistamines are generally taken for allergies, but also make you feel very sleepy. Common over-the-counter sleep medications are Sleep-Eze, Sominex, Nytol, and Unison; they contain antihistamines such as:diphenhydramine hydrochloride,
diphenhydramine citrate, or
doxylamine succinate.
In general, over-the-counter sleep medications are not a good choice because they:Are not intended for long-term use.
Interfere with mental alertness during the day, so you should avoid driving and other similar tasks. You may also be at risk for falling asleep
Reduce the quality of your sleep by reducing time you spend in deep sleep.
Use over-the-counter sleep medications only for transient or short-term insomnia and in conjunction with changes to your sleeping habits. Be sure to pay attention to your body鈥檚 physical response to these sleep medications.i hope this helps!
Start exercising. If you exercise during the day, you'll be asleep by the time you hit the pillow.
Diabetes and/or High BP can cause some sleep problems...I use tylenol PM nightly...works fine...Good Luck
I take Benadryl 50mg to help me sleep once in a while. It helps me get back into the grove of sleeping all night. It won't affect your diabetes. Also, I have found when I sleep during the day I sleep like crud at night. Just be careful what you take since you have diabetes. Somethings even herbal things have serious interactions with you insulin and can affect how the insulin is used by your body.
you could try over the counter pills. they have a lot of different kinds. tylenol pm is suppose to do the job.
A simple remedy that I would try, and was surprisingly helpful for me, is a CD. It's called Glenn Harrold's Ultimate guide to a relaxing sleep every night. Honestly, this was recommended by my doctor and I thought, "yeah, ok, whatever", but now that I've tried it I can say it's fantastic. I've even bought other CD's he's put out. His voice is a little hokey, but I sweat it works. Buy it from Amazon.com
