Put Anxiety to Bed

[eyeliner]

if people have not been sleeping properly for a period of three months then it could mean that they have insomnia, from which they could look at the symptoms in order to see if its of a primary or secondary nature and thereof try and find the underlying causes which cause it, because it may not necessarily be because of caffeiene in take.

I dont think any of this works for Afghans...except for maybe taking a warm shower.

^^ yep because usually it may be stress related and in order to deal with it you have to know the cause. However, you may not necessarily be suscribed drugs they could refer you for psychological therapy like cognitive behavioural therapy, because drugs only cures the symptoms not the disorder.

if you have a relaxed/happy mind... you will fall asleep... and if you don't u need to solve the problem first by either taking action or by consoling yourself... and none of this can be done then you just have to deal with sleeplessness for a while...

i don't take stress to bed. i try to resolve the issue before sleeping... and about half an hour before sleeping i turn off all the lights, i lay down on the couch and turn on my favorit show... .. this relaxes my mind... if i am not watching tv i take my latest book and read it for about 10 t0 30 minutes... i notice i get dreamy and my eyes automatically want to close... when that happens no matter where i am, couch or bed i just let myself fall asleep.

everything in ur body is related to your mind... and for mind to program itself to sleep it needs to go through some necessary steps before falling asleep... even changing ur clothes to more comfortable ones (i.e. pajamas) helps relax ur mind.

I wish I was like that. My wife falls asleep easier but I can't.

take sleeping pills

Sleeping pills are not good. The more you keep away from medicine the better.

They can cause addiction and have many side effects

isnt discouraging people from medicine ironic coming from you?

[Saifullah]

thats the thing once u study the way drugs work. You only prescribe drugs when u really need to.

[eyeliner]

^ you can just do that for fun, or under bribery lol

[Saifullah]

i mean medicine, like as a true doctor you shouldnt prescribe drugs to people unless they really need it.

Not being able to sleep for a few days, you should find the cause rather than give sleeping pills

Interesting article Shlombay.

Very true, medicine should always be tha absolute last resort.

People have a habit of staying up late, either doing work, watching TV or a film, researching or chilling on the computer. You just need to get yourself into a routine of sleeping early. If your body's not used to, obviously it's gonna be more difficult to fall asleep. Sleep at an appropriate time and eventually you'll get used to it, just gotta train your body.

imagine those who cant sleep doing some hard exercise they will be soo tired and should be able to sleep.

When we have nothing to do and we sit in the house all day, we just think about stuff. Then we cant sleep coz again we think and worry about stuff.
