Jamieson makes a herbal sleep aid that is like those breath strips, not a pill that works pretty good. I can't take the over the counter stuff it has me head-against-the-shower-door stunned. Oh wait, that's every day. I guess even more so.
Could find someone to give you a back rub right after a warm bath too. Got a feeling you'd have some volunteers for that! (line form behind me, I thought of it first...lol)

I'm thinking you must be drinking too much caffeine - coffee, pop, red bull etc. Try watching your caffeine intake. If your body is stimulated with too much caffeine, the mind stays active. Also, some exercise (running) in the late afternoon would probably help.

What about that Sleep-eez-d stuff you see in the stores??? If that doesn't work, try hitting your doctor for some of the better stuff.
Or could have anything to do with what stang said there? Cuz if it might be, I'd be more than willing to help out. And besides, even if there's only a slight chance that could be the case, why risk another sleepless night???! PM me!!

I suffer from the same problem at times...
Jameison makes a herbal product called 'relax and sleep' that includes catnip as one of the main ingredients, lol. I take it regularly and it helps. I used to just take any sort of medication that would make me drowsy (Nyquil, Gravol, etc.) but then realized that's not such a good idea.

1) No caffeine at least 8 hours before you go to sleep.
2) If you are thinking about stuff; concentrate on thinking about pleasent stuff...vacations on the beach etc.
3) Have your physician prescribe Imovane or Starnoc.
4) Make sure i'm holding you in my arms while you dose off.
okay...number 4 is b.s. but the first three work. Can't blame a fellow for trying!

Moet said:Hey everyone!
I have a problem with sleeping at night! I'll lay in bed thinking about everything (Yes I think to much) But I was wondering if anyone knew anything I could do/take to put/help me to sleep!
(Can't wait to see these answers)
Try sex with an accountant each night. You can't loose because either the sex is great and you drift off blissfully to sleep or you are so bored with them you fall asleep. Either way you get some deep sleep.
CA's, not just for audits anymore.
Over - the - counter sleep aids will make you drowsy PLUS
Look for supplement called Melatonin, this you should take daily for 2-3 days before you feel the effects PLUS
Foam ear plugs while you're sleeping if noise wakes you/keeps you up.
All the above should be found in a well stocked drugstore.
Also, slow and steady breathing, pay attention here. Heart & Lungs work together so this should help slow heart rate down a bit.
Good luck.

Take a large glass of wine ( really large ) and heat it up with some cinnamon and a clove. Take the clove out afterwards. Add a pinch of lemon. Grab something to read. Finish the wine and say good-night.

Meditation…
There are several Relaxation Meditation CD’s out there.
One of my favs is Andrea Roth. I down loaded her and a couple of others I have from different sources on to my ipod. Comes in handy even in the daytime too sometimes. If on a long subway or bus ride and feeling agitated for what ever reason I play Andrea Roth’s short version relaxation meditation and by time I get where I’m going my mind is much more quiet.
Yah and no caffeine after lunch time.

Booze is usually considered bad for sleep. It may help you relax a bit but you won't sleep any better.
Meditation works really well, if you want, PM me and I'll give you a simple relaxation exercise that works for me.
Valerian (prefereably in a tincture, but also in pills) is a natural sleep aid that works really well also, and won't make you groggy in the morning. Natural food stores have it, so do drug stores but drug store supplements etc... are generally lousy.
There are lots of other tips for a good night's sleep, including:
- make the bed for sleep, not reading, TV etc... (!)
- make your room dark and quiet
- if you can't fall asleep, get out of bed, read or do whatever relaxes you, then go back to sleep
