what are some ways to naturally cure insomnia?

Try melatonin (sp?) it’s an over the counter dietary supplement..i use it w/e i have sleep issues..which is often since i’m a night shift worker..sleep well!

make sure you arn’t drinking any caffinated beverages several hours prior to going to bed

Yoga Excesises
It helps to maintain a perfect rhytm

count sheep, drink milk before you go ot sleep, and when i was small, my mom suggested that i rub my toy dog’s rough nose

good single malt scotch

A marijuana cigarette.

if you find one, let me know. i ended up working 11pm-7am shifts at work so i could get paid to stay awake

Drink milk, count sheep, read a boring book, read a textbook. play music. Im sleepy already just listing those things. Yawnnn

have a nice bowl of raisin bran cereal…….

Tequila!!

Run 10km and climb 90 storeys with a 10kg backpack during daytime. You’ll be shagged by nightime. About half an hour before you sleep, dim all the lights (don’t switch off. just dim) and drink a glass of milk.

Sleep is all about developing a schedule to maintain a normal cycle. You need to go to bed at the same time every night regardless of whether you feel tired or not & once in bed – no tv, no reading. Your body needs to establish that the bed is for sleep & nothing else.

If you cannot sleep, then you need to stay awake until bedtime the following day. Taking naps will just make your cycles worse. I know you are anti-pill, but sometimes taking a sleep aid for only a week or 2 will re-establish your sleep cycle. Once you have a normal cycle, you can discontinue the medication & most people are able to begin sleeping on their own at that time.

Insomnia is often linked to depression. If you have had a lot of stress lately, consider discussing your concerns with your doctor. Sometimes, addressing these issues will cause the insomnia to resolve on its own.

I’m telling ya, go to the half-priced bookstore and get some meditation tapes and books on different meditation techniques. And practice them ritualistically. It takes practice. It’s good physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

How about a nice, long soak in a hot bath or jacuzzi if you have one with candles, soft music, small drink?

Try some Time-Released Melatonin supplements. It’s a synthetic version of melatonin, which is a hormone your body produces to help induce a sound sleep.

sorry i dont kno

Spend some time out of doors, in full sun every day if possible.
Sunshine enhances melatonin production, which will help you sleep.
If you can’t get the sunshine, buy some Ott lights, (full spectrum lighting). They will also help.

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress, dietary and medical
problems. By making small lifestyle changes like having a fixed
daily routine, relaxing and eating properly, insomnia can be
cured. I found the information at http://helpforsleeping.com/all-natural-sleep-supplement/" useful
for getting sleep.

1.Warm milk
2.Going to bed and wake/get up at a regular, scheduled time every day (including weekends) with a schedule before getting to bed (i.e. movie, shower, book, bed)
3. After lying in bed awake 30min, leave, do something, then return
4. Exercise throughout the day, but not within an hour before regular bedtime
5. Yoga exercises before attempting to sleep
6. Calisthenics before attempting to sleep
7. Play a CD containing nature noises while in bed
8. Read a monotonous book in bed
9. Don’t eat anything within an hour before sleeping (with an exception to warm milk)
10. If all else fails try using Melatonin, it’s an over the counter herbal, dietary supplement, with absolutely no addiction chances

Remember never to lie in bed awake for more than half an hour, never exercise right before sleeping, never eat right before sleeping, and don’t ever, ever consume caffeine within seven hours of sleeping.

Good luck
