Treat Insomnia

Question: What are some ways to self-treat insomnia?What helped you overcome insomnia or get more sleep? I don't have medical insurance so seeing a doctor is out of the question.



Answer: Go to bed and get up at the same time everyday.Try taking melatonin to regulate your sleep cycle. It's what your body already produces and helps make you sleepy when it gets dark outside. It is not a sleeping pill and will not make you drowsy the next day. You should be able to take them for a week or so and then be regulated.Also, if your problem is that you are a thinker....one of the people who can't shut off your mind, try keeping a pen and paper beside your bed. When your mind starts rolling with all of things you have to do the next day, right them down and tell yourself you know you won't forget them because you made a list and you should be able to relax and catch some zzzz's.Lay off caffeine, don't smoke, marijuana causes insomnia, no more crack, cut down on the meth. Don't exercise before bed, turn your lights down an hour or so before bed, develop a bedtime routine and follow it!Important: Only use your bed for sleep and sex!!! You want your mind to associate this place with rest!
