I find getting comfy on the couch and turning on oprah...no matter how wired I am I'm asleep in minutes

no help here...not a good sleeper...good luck

can i chat to someone in here i feel really bad

take some seroquel that is what knocks me out

benedryl works, seroquel works, trazadone works, ummm glass of wine...and there is always the nap channel(History channel)...something about those soothing voices...maybe that will help ya

OTC sleep medicine I take is Unisom. Helps pretty well. Good luck xo

Hi swseetie I hate it when I feel like this.
Try warm milk or cocoa, not coffee or tea about half an hour before bed, get really comfy and warm, turn of as much lighting as you are comfortable with and breath slowly and deeply, I recentl discovered how to breath properly inhale tummy in exhale tummy out and concentrating on my breathing seems to have me to sleep in minutes.
Kalms nighttimes are a good help too, but that may just be me as I live on stress relief herbal rememdies.
Good luck and I hope you get some decent sleep soon!

I just take my meds and hope for the best.

Try a breathing meditation, it's starting to work for me. It helps to clear my mind by simply focusing on breathing but it takes quite a bit of effort.
Also reassuring myself helps me to let go of particular thoughts; i generally tell myself everything is ok, there is no big emergency and nothing that cannot be fixed with time.
My favourite saying that i tell myself is...
'The sky isn't falling in, the trees are still standing and even though clouds may come the rain always passes and the sun will shine again.'
I hope you got to speak to someone..
Take it easy :-)

Im not really a good sleeper myself... i find that listening to relaxing music and just relaxing as much as possible helps.

I think there are a few herbal rememdies that are supposed to help aid sleep.

I had a spell where I would sleep maybe once every 3 - 4 days (bad insomniac).

Seroquel does a great job at knocking me out.

Sleepytime Herbal tea from Celestial Seasonings. Also one of the popular cocoa companies makes a nite-time cocoa.
Listen to some soft music, like a radio on a timer.
Breate deeply in...out...in...out and think about the physiology of breathing, the mechanics of it.
Sound machine of soothing sounds.
Read until you are tired (but don't read in bed).

Peace, love, and joy (try for at least 1),

I listen to soothing music. Brahms is good for putting you to sleep...
Good luck.

A great natural supplement in melatonin.

I throw on a movie I've seen a gazillion times, drink some hot tea or hot chocolate, maybe take a hot shower.
