Insomnia

Constant Reader said:
I don't sleep any longer than 5 1/2 hours any night. It's 5.50am and i've already pegged the washing out and sorted my son's lunch for school, that's how stupid it's getting. I've never been a particularly good sleeper but it's getting worse and starting to affect my mood and energy.

Anyone got any suggestions please?

Sry i'm late to the party lol. Anyway like @Ludovico said some people sleep 5-6 hrs. I found a few tips that work. Taking either a warm shower or bath before bed helps. The warm water relaxes your body very much. Another idea that i do is sometimes do a small workout before bed or in the evenings and it'll make you tired and you'll sleep well. One last one is to stretch before bed it can relax muscles as well. At first i found it hard bc of my sleep apnea (not sure i spelled right). I hope any of these ideas help you.
 
I can't sleep well for months. My insomnia was so bad over the years, that it had a terrible influence on my health. I visited a lot of doctors and tried different methods to cure it but nothing helped. I've been taking vitamins from Canada Drugs store, they help me sometimes to sleep a while.

Improving sleep quality often involves adjusting both your daytime and nighttime routines. Here are some tips:

  1. Regular Sleep Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body's internal clock.
  2. Relaxation Techniques: Before bed, engage in relaxing activities like reading, gentle yoga, or a warm bath.
  3. Limit Screen Time: Reduce exposure to screens (TV, phone, computer) at least an hour before bedtime, as the blue light can disrupt sleep patterns.
  4. Create a Sleep-Inducing Environment: Ensure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool. Consider blackout curtains, earplugs, or a white noise machine.
  5. Limit Caffeine and Alcohol: Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evening as they can interfere with sleep.
  6. Physical Activity: Regular exercise during the day can promote better sleep, but avoid vigorous activity close to bedtime.
  7. Mindful Eating: Avoid heavy meals late at night. A light snack before bed is okay if you're hungry.
  8. Manage Stress: Practice stress management techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or journaling.
  9. Professional Help: If sleep issues persist, consider consulting a healthcare professional or a sleep specialist.
Remember, consistency is key. It might take some time for these changes to reflect in your sleep quality, so be patient and persistent.
 
My insomnia started the day I got the horrible dining in my ears called tinnitus. I have better and worth days but in general it never goes away. These day I started to research the information about lyric hearing aid and really hope that will be the end of tinnitus issue. Even though my hearing is not that bad, I will probably go for it
