Puts me to sleep no problem. But my issue is that I wake up earlier then my clock and that, it didn't help with. Again this morning, even I woke up at 5am even if it's a Saturday...Karinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14745536331887708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931462649141062840.post-30922902363743855172008-11-20T18:49:58.312-05:002008-11-20T18:49:58.312-05:00@everyone: thank you so much for your suggestions.

But do not take sleeping pills because then you'll never be able to get a natural sleepMadame Bavardageshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00065509920864499029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931462649141062840.post-65473699731195109302008-11-19T19:33:48.606-05:002008-11-19T19:33:48.606-05:00I hope you've been getting some well deserved sleep, sweetie!Abbihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08300831018632745735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931462649141062840.post-32480119479214445732008-11-19T18:09:27.542-05:002008-11-19T18:09:27.542-05:00I've had insomnia for just about all my life so I have not ideas to share.

I've never had a problem with sleep so I'm not sure where to start with this problem here. But I do know that doing everything BUT sleeping in your bed is not a good idea. Studying, eating and lounging in the bed isn't a good idea. You don't do that do you?Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11902839629217130433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931462649141062840.post-30377879086208362092008-11-19T11:00:37.401-05:002008-11-19T11:00:37.401-05:00i know that feeling girl, i think there are good suggestions on here...keep a regular schedule, no distractions...especially tv and lighting...i know this is bad, but sometimes i would pop a benadryl if it's bad...just one in a blue moon though...hopefully it gets better!MakeupByRenRenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08569862713219774671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931462649141062840.post-34652165037162341312008-11-19T10:08:49.341-05:002008-11-19T10:08:49.341-05:00I hate insomnia!!!! I remember my yoga teacher saying that if you can't sleep you should lay flat on your back on the floor and practice some breathing exercises.

It's an herbal supplement that helps your body know it's time to go to sleep. I've been taking it off and on for a long time because of my insomnia. It also helps me to sleep more soundly. The best part is that you don't wake up feeling groggy at all. <BR/><BR/>Sweet dreams!Mrs. Hass-Barkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08257562464089983641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931462649141062840.post-14433633691240842042008-11-19T05:23:57.391-05:002008-11-19T05:23:57.391-05:00girl i wish i could help since i have had the same problems. things that moderately work are making sure the room is super dark and pretty quiet(no tv). keeping the same schedule helps even if i am off (sometimes its lame to go to bed at 11 on saturday but oh well). also dont beat yourself up over it. if you cant sleep, you cant (i would worry and that made it worse). i finally would just read or something and fall asleep or be so tired the next day that i would fall right to sleep that night. also put the computer away if that is your problem. i also tried melatonin and that would help get to a relaxing state but i still had to do most of the environmental work that helped the most.justmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13071673351594748203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931462649141062840.post-27110968604749694242008-11-19T03:05:20.179-05:002008-11-19T03:05:20.179-05:00I have this issue too!!
