Insomnia

One of the worst thing i have been going through lately is that when you take sleeping pills and you still you cant sleep ! And much more worse of that , is when the pill kicks in just before you are supposed to wake up by an hour or so ! 


Lately I started to have a very bad sleeping habits ! I cant sleep at night , and still i cant sleep during the day , and if i do so , its like only for 3 hours . Any small little noise can just wake me up , and I stay in bed for hours trying to go back to sleep with no benefit ! It ends up with me to wake up with my eyelids are still coving half of my eyes , walking in a stooped posture , laking power , activity , and concentration ! I have screwed lots of things around me with my low mood and inability to concentrate and think right . 


Taking hot showers , sleeping pills , drinking milk , avoiding any caffeine containing beverages , avoiding any stimulating activities during the night , none of these have worked , neither did counting sheep , i swear to god i have tried it ! 


Whatever !

i regularly have the same symtoms, yeah Dina is right you are not alooooone.
avoid eating before going to bed (your last meals should be at least a couple hours before bed time), and make a corny bed time routine like kids (it works). And I read somewhere that cold showers are actually better (that hot ones wake you up) but I have trouble believing or applying that

So I guess all the replies has "advices" in it..
well , from an X-insomniac person , i tried this and it worked magicaly for me! I don't know if it was like a placebo , but el muhem enno nef3at!

Just before u go to sleep , warm up a cup of water "like half a mug" and add some powdered ginger into it- a small tablespoon i think is enough , leave it for 5 minutes in the warm water and then drink it.. yea it doesnt taste good and it really burns if ur not used to it , but worth giving a try I guess..

Hmmm, I see, seems someone has a guilty conscience :p rayye7 dameerak

Seriously, read Quran, or read a book...

A lot of people don't get on well with sleeping pills - mainly because the sleep isn't fulfilling and they feel groggy the next day.

Have you tried cognitive behavioural therapy, or even yoga? That seems to work for some people.

Has your doctor offered you any alternatives to sleeping pills?
