I try too but it doesnt come. I tryed walking and pacinng, and that didnt help, I need my sanity, and mentall health. I am not sure what to take,
as of now, warm milk, Kava drink, Sominex made it worse, and I am at my witts end. I dont know whats to become of me if I dont fall asleep soon |

Hi Carlos,
Its terrible not being able to sleep.. I have that problem too, most nights I just lay there willing myself to fall asleep. I have sleeping meds but they make me feel so horrible next day I dont like to take them.
Last night I laid there and saw every hour on the hour - not good, so today I feel like a zombie...
I hope your able to sleep soon .......

Hi Carlos,
I think it is realistic to say that most of us with mental health issues experience more than our fair share of insomnia. I see it as part and parcel of our lot, to contend with, unfortunately.
I for one, have always been a nocturnal creature preferring night to day, as my waking hours. I rarely go to bed , until about four am , in saying that, I do not normally rise from my bed until mid day.
My counsellor/therapist, kindly gifted me with several relaxation CD's which I use on occasion and find them most helpful. If i still can't get off to sleep, I usually get up and do something rather mundane, like ironing my laundry, that I find so boring, it often compels me to sleep.
There is no definitive answer, what works for some, won't necessarily work for others. I commiserate with you!
Cheers my friend, David

Hi Carlos,
Hows it going?... Have you been able to get some sleep?.. I went from sleeping too much to the last week not being able to sleep. I lay there and my mind wont stop, just races - playing things over and over like a movie. I just cant settle down, I know it probably has alot to do with the fact I have alot of things on my mind and with the holidays fast approaching which is a trigger for alot of people.
Anyway just wanted to check in and see how you were doing.. Hope you have a wonderful holidays and hope your doing ok.
Hugs
