Any tips on sleeping better?

Try melatonin supplement. Friend of mine had problem and melatonin solved it very easy.

 

I have issues going to sleep at night as well hence why is 5 in the morning and I'm still awake. Melatonin worked for awhile, zquil worked for awhile. Drinking some liquid sleep (liquor) is probably the fastest and most consistent way for me to sleep. Aside from all that

I've avoided drinking any sort of caffeinated drinks and eating before 8.

Work out extra hard around 9 after a long relaxing shower I fall asleep pretty easily.

Laying in bed and relaxing every part of my body attempting to slow my heart rate essentially meditating this way works pretty well most of the time.

 

About dark room, u don't have persiennes or something similar?

My phone automaticaly swap to night mode (warm colors), i used also flux and it's very efective, you can give it a try.

 

Why are you not tired at the end of the day?

 

It's all about routine. I used to have some difficulty falling asleep too. But then I forced myself into a routine: PJs, then reading for a few minutes, then meditating, then bed. Now when I get to the meditation part of my routine my body is already getting in to sleep mode.

 

I find mediation and reading helps too. If I don't do those, I always make time to stretch and do a few slow deep breaths to relax.

I also used to drink almost every night with my meal, now I've slowed to once a week or less, that helped also!

 

I drink some herbal tea that is made for helping people fall to sleep, so that might be something to consider. Ot isn't addictive so no need to worry about that. Also a simple thing to try is to buy a new set of pillows, and listen to relaxing music/white noise.

 

Valeriana is very, very good tea for sleeping, it relax perfect mind before bed.

 

I got my sleep in order when i stoped drinking coffe after 4 pm, and started to exercise for at least three times a week. I suggest you dont take any cuz you are potencialy adding one new addiction to your life!

 

Thank you for starting this thread. I've had issues sleeping for the past 20 months. My ex and I broke up early last year and I couldn't sleep more than 3 hours straight for about 4 months. I began to take zzzquil but did last very long. It has been a long time since then but I'm still having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. I'm not even sure if I had a day this year where I slept 8 hours or more straight. I'm not sure what to do.
