Do a google search and you'll be able to diagnose what type of sleeping disorder you have. I suffer from Insomnia as well. Over the counter sleeping aids, gravol, crazy all night sex ,weed, GHB have all been temporary fixes. Went to a sleep disorder clinic and was monitored the entire night, they couldn't find anything wrong, but tried to force me into a $600 dollar breathing machine and mask. You may have a physical condition, psychological condition or it may just be your subconscience playing tricks on you. Be careful though a sleep disorder clinic has the power to pull you're driver's license if they think you're too messed up. Good luck you're gonna need it.
 
Without sounding like someone's gramma:

1) Are you drinking caffiene based drinks after 6 pm?
2) Are you consuming foods or drinks with lots of sugar/carbs/protein?
3) Are you exercising at night?
4) Do you have a lot on your mind?
5) What are you doing during the day?
6) Is it noisy or loud? or are you used to it being noisy and now you've got utter silence?

I find if I've had a relatively easy day, I have excess energy that wasn't burned off.....

For 4 (which is often the case for many of us) there are lots of mental tricks that you can do to relax. A really simple one is to concentrate soley on your breathing.....the trick is to breath normally but mentally try to find the exact moment your inhale turns into an exhale and vice versa without controlling your breathing constantly.

Another thing is to "build" a mental environment (such as a tropical island) that is peaceful and secluded. I'm talking right down to marks in the sand, what flowers, trees flora etc are around.....(but no picturing any he-man body building hunks in loin cloths, that will just get you excited again).

masterbate: the body's natural reaction after an orgasm is to be still......
 
ya i think its number 4

I have had alot of crap on my mind latley ,, with the new move coming back to work blab blab
maybe after i settle in ,, with routine again and stuff ill go back to normal :)
 
I was a chronic insomniac about a year ago... I think I tried everything going. It got so bad I even tried drinking till I past out. Not good concidering I dont drink :) So I finally found something that worked and its natural.

One hour before you want to go to bed take a GABA, a Melatonin and (this is a drink that you buy at the health food store) A Cal/Mag solution that you mix in a glass of warm water. After about a week of doing this I was sleeping regularly once again.
 
I grew up with that problem, only thing that was ablet to solve it, is reliving stress and seeing someone you can talk to openly about some of your unsolved issues.

5 hours a sleep is not enough, you still end up feeling tried in the day but because your up when the rest of the world is up your fighting it to keep up with them.

Then of course you get from also not eating properly, and not having a proper routine.

I suggest seeing your doctor he might give you a stronger sleep aid but don't relie on them it won't sollve your problem just cover it, he might not suggest you seeing a skrink or counselor but I suggest seeing one too.

Your body is trying to get things out in the open, but your mind is not sure what it is.

Oprah, is that you?

Anyways, you may want to try increased physical activity in the evening, not after 8. If you go for an hour run, your body will need the rest.

Other tips:
- make sure it's not too hot in your bedroom
- try earplugs
- fresh air, high O2 content makes you sleepy

I was thinking the same thing, only not terb but maybe a really boring movie like that bomb that madonna last starred in....

You might also like to try something that has worked for me too: I find that the sound of rain on a tent/roof/car drums me right out (pain in the ass when you're driving at the time DOH)....you can put something like that on your puter or ?? and have it shut off at say 3 am....

As for 5 hrs not being enough....damn, I don't think I've gotten more n 5 a night for the past 10 yrs....maybe once or twice a week I will get 6 but certainly nothing more than that.....
 
someone on terb once gave me good advice for this bella

turn it to the parliament channel ....it took me 10 minutes before i crashed and i had insomnia bad :)
 
melatonin for sleeplessness

I use Melatonin frequently to get a decent sleep ( it resets the body's internal clock ) ... You can get it at Noah's or The Big Carrot .... the trick is not to take too much.
 
In addition to the many tips above, you could try a sleep mask as darkness helps you stay asleep. Also, you might want to try taking a relaxation or meditation course to help relieve stress. I ocassionally take prescription sleeping pills, but as someone already said, you don't want to have to rely on those.
 
wow thanks for all the advice ,, im going to Doc's tomorrow
he mentioned some sleep aid that is not addictive
and told me to deal with the stress in my head and all should be well

See once again after 3am and here i am LOL :D
 
Insomnia is the worst...I also have problems with it on a regular basis and I think, for me, most of it is due to too much 'stuff' on my mind. I tend to worry a lot.:(

I've had it affect my life in the biz as well. Unfortunately, I've had to cancel appointments because I've just been too exhausted; despite having retiring for the evening fairly early. I try to never cancel dates but come on, when you're running on 2 hours sleep and you have an appointment booked, t's not easy...not only do you tend to feel like crap but you also tend to look like crap...frustrating indeed!!

For the stress part, I exercise. Yes, 3am on my exercise machine till I'm tired.

If not, there's always Terb.
 
I have had it since I was a teenager, first on sleeping pills at 13:eek: Every so often it hits me, my brain just can't shut off at night. Once I was up for 3 days straight..not a minute of sleep.....yikes! I manage it better now but every once in awhile, look out!
