A glass of wine before bed will help you get a better night's rest (more: https://haywines.co.uk/ ). BUT ONLY ONE GLASS!!!  I have certainly found if I drink more than maybe, 2 or 3 at the most glasses of wine at night I have trouble sleeping. I do fall asleep easy but wake up and can' get back to sleep.

You can use these two techniques:
Stimulus control therapy. This method helps remove factors that condition your mind to resist sleep.
Relaxation techniques. Progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback and breathing exercises are ways to reduce anxiety at bedtime.

  • Try not to do anything really active in the evening.
  • No phone/TV/computer before going to bed.
  • Read a book or do yoga (Moon Salutation).
  • Make sure there's enough fresh air in your bedroom.
  • Drink camomile/lavender/valerian tea.

It really helped me to deal with insomnia for years, I hope it helps you! Cheesy Wink

Try to relax, meditate. Listen to lullaby song as well. You might wanna try blinking your eyes as fast as you can, so it will be tired and will let you sleep.

physical activity is the best treatment ever as well as gulp of fresh air before going to bed
Yes I also recommend physical activity and a cold shower after that this is to relax the muscles, drinking a glass of milk can help you to relax because it has melatonin that can help you to fully relax and feel sleepy, if this persist, it could be something and it's recommended for a medical check up, sleeplessness is a symptoms of other maladies.

I will support you on this one. Melatonin is best thing there is to get you back to some normal sleeping pattern as fast as possible. This does not mean you should ignore all other healthy lifestyle choices to support your health and sleep.

I use Melatonin also, when I get out of my sleeping routine I use Melatonin for a week max and then I'm back in my pattern and don't need it anymore. One box of Melatonin is like 10$ and can last you more then a half year for sure.
Melatonin can be used for people who want to normal sleeping, but better consulting with the doctor, so you don't have any problem in the future. But if it is necessary, it is still better not to consume anything because we have an alarm that will sound when our body feels tired, and if that happens, we can rest for a while. So you don't have to spend money to buy any pills to help you sleep well.


Some people's alarm is off, that is why people need help sometimes to schedule their sleep so they can function in society. Society works by following norms and norm is that people sleep at night. Some people don't sleep at night naturally, their alarm tells them it is time to sleep in the morning for example, because of that those people need help with sleeping the way society dictates so they can hold a day job for example.

So this kind of nonsensical folk wisdom does not work all the time and if you red the posts in this topic you would understand that without me having to explain this.

I suggest you drink milk or calming tea at night. And avoid thinking of so many things before bed. You can also read books or the likes and minimise the use of your phone to avoid radiation.

Drink alcohol. Beer is better because it contains hops, avoid sweet vine or other sugar containing drinks.

I agree. I drink the local tanduay ice beer here in my country whenever Im having hard time sleeping. Just 3 bottles, then I'm down.
Agree, Drinking beer help me also sleep , Sometimes i just make my night busy i just play game or read in this forum to help me relax my mind because it's hard to sleep if your thinking too much, eventually i feel sleepy and tire.

Reading usually does it for me.
Reading does when you are not in serious case,Because there are people that cannot sleep just because they are thinking over and not because they are insomniac .

But case are different if you are in this sickness,because  your body and mind usually not collaborate when you want to sleep.

So better make your self tired the whole day so at night your body will find Bed to lay and your mind to rest.

Rather than taking the conventional sleeping pills, my doctor had prescribed me to take Melatonin instead to help me sleep better. Either way, please consult your doctor first and ask if Melatonin would be effective for you to take.
Medicine can make you addicting in the future because your mind will think that you can not sleep without consuming that medicine. You should try to relax before you sleep, take a bath with warm water, use clean clothes, don't think anything while you close your eyes, and only pray before you sleep. Meditating will help you release all of the things in your mind because you will try not to think so many things that happen with you.

Exactly my doctor's point, that's why she didn't prescribe those addicting conventional sleeping pills. Also, melatonin is a dietary supplement, not really a medicine, that's why it was suggested and prescribed for me to take as an alternative option instead since I am also hypertensive.

Again, please try to research about it if you'd like to know more and/or better yet consult your doctor about melatonin (so you could get a professional doctor's opinion about this), before generally concluding about the matter. I only mentioned it, just to share my experience and for others to have an idea at least (but to also check with their doctor's first before taking it), that's all.

I make sure that my tummy is not full before 9pm so my sleeping time is 10pm then i am ready to sleep.
And i make sure to have enough exercise in the morning because our body needs to be tired so it will look for sleep at night.
