My suggestion is very simple: if you have something worthwhile to dream about you will really feel like going to sleep! Think of your "long lost" favorite things and go to sleep! Happy dreams!

Valerian roots is the BEST natural sleep aid, and can be purchased at nearly every drug store in the vitamin section. I’ve also tried Melatonin…but for some reason, I always had weird dreams and restless sleep on that one.

The mood swings and irritability is definitely coming from your lack of sleep. Maybe you should see a doctor. I used to have bad anxiety attacks at night and I would wake up every hour and a half…all night long, for weeks at a time. I was crabby as hell.

I talked to my doctor and she gave me ambien. After taking it for about a month, I stopped having the anxiety attacks and was finally able to get to sleep on my own. I haven’t taken an Ambien in MONTHS!

Milk helps and no caffeine couple hours before bed. All of these things that the others mentioned work, you may have to go to a doctor and get something you have to sleep. Have you tried Benadryl it makes you very drowsy. It may help used with some of the other suggestions.

I’ve had insomnia my entire life. My trick is to have a routine–not a bedtime routine, going to sleep at the same time every night, since that’s impossible for me. I watch the same TV show or movie every night and the repetition of the words and sounds helps me sleep.

I also eat before bed–nothing heavy or fattening, but food seems to help.

Diet and exercise are good places to start. You can also take a dietary supplement called L-tryptophan as an over-the-counter sleep aid. Be careful not to take it for long periods, though. L-tryptophan is a chemical that is found naturally in turkey which seems to help people fall asleep.

From experience, one of the best ways to treat insomnia is to try to figure out WHY you have it. It could be that you’re going through a chemical change. It could be that you’re stressed about something. If you’re stressed, try to confront the stressor and work through it. If the insomnia is caused by changes in your body, you might want to consider going to the doctor. Insomnia could be an indication of a thyroid problem or some other easily treatable health problem.

Good luck getting the sleep you need.

Comment on Sticky: How Too Tell If Your Sleep Problem Is Insomnia by Tom

I have a similar problem, except once I get to sleep its fine, I will sleep for 8+ hours if I want to. I have a problem getting to sleep.

The only thing I could think of that would help you would be to exercise during the day. This would tire you out easier therefore theoretically allowing you to get to sleep easier.

And you need to turn the TV at 10 because watching TV produces stimulant chemicals in the brain which stop you relaxing and going to sleep.
