cure insomnia without drugs
How does one cure insomnia without drugs? Please be serious i’m desperate here.?
I’ve had insomnia for about 2 months now sleeping on average 2-3 hours a night. I just can’t fall asleep. I can appreciate a good joke or a funny answer but in all fairness i’m desperate and i’d like serious answers only please. And prescription drugs are not an option, I’ve seen my mom go through sleeping pill addiction and that was hell and I do not want to follow.
I have suffered with insomnia off and on for over 15 years. I am now on Lunesta which is not habit forming. I can honestly say that some times I take it every night for one or two weeks and then I just don’t need it and so I won’t take it.
But, since you don’t want to go that route, here are some things that use to work for me before they just didn’t anymore.
1) Try to go to sleep every night at about the same time. It trains your body to expect and want sleep at a certain time.
2) Avoid sugars and caffeine for at least 4 to 6 hours before bed time.
3) Try a relaxing warm drink. I preferred chamomile tea.
4) Don’t read or watch TV in bed. It sounds stupid, but if you only spend extended periods of time in bed for sleeping it sort of tricks your mind into “sleep mode” when you get into bed.
5) My main problem was mind wondering. I found that when my mind would start to drift if I got up and wrote down what I was thinking it would quiet my thoughts.
Hope that helps. Good luck. I know how not being able to sleep can drive you bonkers.
