Anyone else suffer from it? What do other people do to get back to sleep?

I forgot to take my sedatives last night and paying the price now.

Some insomnia is unresponsive to everything but a good bedtime routine helps. Sleep is an alteration of your brains waveform/pattern so reaching sleep is all about the subconscious brain.

Don't have a tv in your room and only sleep in bed, don't read, listen to the radio etc. This way youre training your subconscious that going to bed means only one thing.

Drink plenty of fluids, avoiding alcohol!

Sedatives always end up useless with prolonged use. The body either gets used to them, or the buildup in the liver means you get drag into the daytime after weeks/months/yrs.

Get plenty of exercise in the day, wear your body out and make sure you go outside every day even if you don't need to - natural daylight affects melatonin production and melatonin rules sleep hormonally speaking.

Before bed have the same routine. A bath is great, get your pjs on etc, a warm milky drink (cliches I know but for good reason) and try a lavender sachet under the pillow.

How do I know all this stuff? three yrs with a sleep psychologist - I'm not just making it up

Interesting reminder of the sleep hygiene. Not good when I am in bed on fabforum! I also failed on drinking alcohol last night as I had been in the pub all afternoon

I have been using an antihistamine sedative for 7 years. Every now and then I forget to take it like tonight and the difference is clear

Definitely not helping yourself there! I'm working nights so can't say the same, I used to suffer something terrible ... Then I met this sexy bloke that happened to work at the uni as a sleep psychologist....

My hubby says that too, answer to everything.

I just flip him the bird and remind him I have an IQ of 152 before falling over my own feet.

You can't have everything, see. It's like the old roll of the dice roleplaying games...you increase point allocation to brains, and have to drop agility...

It is crap not being able to sleep at night!

I have fibromyalgia and if I do too much during the day and tire myself I practically pass out for a few hours but then I wide awake like now

It's always good to be aware of ones positive points.

Better than to be moping 'bout my spare tyre or the big pimple threatening to engulf my chin

Breaktime over. Bah humbug, I wanted to exercise my sarcasm muscle some more.

Sleep well!

I suffer from it before doing stuff, say going to a car show, my body refuses to sleep night before :S

Lush did a temple balm which helped abit, cool pads help with restless legs and hot feet
