    Hi guys
    Recently I don't sleep well. I'm constantly thinking, my brain can't stop even during sleep. My sleep is very light and I constantly wake up. It's not that my thoughts are of secual nature, it's more that I'm stuck in “work„ mode and can't wind down. I feel like my compulsive thinking is draining my entire energy.
    Does anyone have experienced this?
    Anyway I'll start meditating again and see if this helps.

    I would suggest taking a sleep aid like Z-Quil before going to sleep. Do something to clear your mind and just relax awhile before lying down, and make sure you have at least 8 hours to sleep. If that doesn't work, I'd alk to a doctor about getting something stronger, like Ambien.

    Do breathing exercises before sleeping, and before meditating. The breathing exercises have the additional benefit of transmuting the sexual energy.

    Some non-prescription sleep aids that work:
    1. Melatonin
    2. Valerian root
    3. Sleepy Time Extra tea (contains valerian)
    4. Ashwagandha
    5. L-Theanine
    I don't recommend antihistamines like benadryl as they often don't work and leave you groggy.
