Answers:
There are several safe, but effective liquid herbal remedies available, as shown below: all you have to do is add boiling water and wait until cool enough to drink!. If you need anything stronger, you really need to see a doctor!.
INSOMNIA: Exercise, but not within 2 hours of bedtime!. Have a warm bath, or shower, an hour before bedtime, then a glass of very warm milk, possibly with Horlicks, or one of the herbal teas, below, and use dimmer lighting!. Put your mind in a position where it wants to shut itself off, and sleep!. See insomnia treatments, in much more detail than can be included here, in section 3, at ezy build, below!. Use one of the relaxation methods, in bed, after lights out, on pages 2, 11, 2!.c, or 2!.i, but they can take some time to learn, (progressive muscular relaxation excepted) so learn and become proficient in their use during the day!.
An alternative is to use the EFT, in section 53, and pages 2!.q, and 2!.o, saying to yourself: "Even though I currently have a sleep disorder, I deeply and completely accept myself!." (or choose your own wording) while you use the acupressure tapping!. Some more; quick, and easy to learn, are at http://www!.umm!.edu/sleep/relax_tech!.htm The progressive muscle relaxation, (most easily learned) guided imagery, and mindfulness breathing are known to be effective, although I haven't tried the other 2 methods!.
Find out which works best for you, in the daylight hours, so you will be prepared, come bedtime!. For many people, a good idea is to develop a set "wind down" routine for the last hour before bedtime, so your subconscious mind learns that it is time to put thinking aside, and prepare for mindfulness, (awareness, without cogitation/purposeful thought) or the EFT, in preparation for sleep, but the idea with mindfulness is to not even think about sleeping: just drift off, naturally, during exercising those techniques!.
Avoid TV, computer, or anything exciting in this hour, although reading a boring book is a good idea!. I suggest that you try using the EMDR variant, below, prior to the mindfulness, or the progressive muscular relaxation, but after the EFT, if that method is chosen!. Experiment, to find which combination works best for you!.
(The following is a variant of EMDR therapy, which has been used successfully for those people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, insomnia, and anxiety: it is easily learned, quick to use, yet can be very effective!. It is easy to be dismissive of such a seemingly unusual technique, but give it a good tryout, for at least a few weeks, to see if it is effective in your case)!.
Prior to using either of the methods in the above paragraph, first sit comfortably, and take a deep breath!. Then, without moving your head, move your eyes from the left, to the right, and back again, taking around a second to do so (say: "a thousand and one": this takes approximately a second)!.
Repeat this procedure (without the words, although you can count, subvocally, if you like) 20 times: "A thousand and one; a thousand and two!.!.!. " and so on, to a thousand and twenty!. Then close your eyes and relax!. Become aware of any tension or discomfort you feel!.
Then open your eyes, and take another deep breath, and repeat step one, closing your eyes, and relaxing afterwards, in the same manner!. Then, repeat the procedure one last time!. Some people may find that this is all they need do!.
With experience, you may find that you can practise this in public, with your eyes closed, which greatly widens the window of opportunity for its use, and avoids attracting unwanted attention!. I have found that the 2 - 3 minutes spent using the EMDR markedly reduces distractions to the relaxation process, and is repaid many times over!.
I also use it prior to my chosen relaxation technique, after lights out, at night!. For more about Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing therapy, showing recommendations by those who have used it, including a professional psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience in that field, see sections 33 - 34, at ezy-build!.
Usually, I have a cup of chamomile herbal tea, an hour before bedtime, and employ many of the techniques in section 3!. Others may prefer Sleepytime, by Celestial Seasonings, or valerian root, from supermarket tea, or health food aisles!. http://www!.ezy-build!.net!.nz/~shanerisWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sorry to hear that you got insomnia, but there is ways to get to sleep real easy!. You can drink some herbal teas and work well to get you sleepy!.Usually you can find these teas at pharmacies and they are labeled "Sleep time" or "Relax"!.Teas that good are the ones that include Valerian herbs!. Insomnia could also be a symptom of an anxiety disorder or depression!. Or you could be in a stressful situation right now like school related anxieties (waiting for exam results, started high school etc!.!.) or you going through a life change (changing schools, parents divorcing, best friend moved away)!. Either way, you could try to take a bath with natural relaxants like Lavender oils or soaps and do some breathing exercises before you go to sleep!.
Here's a link to a website ( a college) one and you can download two for free!.
http://www!.loyola!.edu/campuslife/healths!.!.!.
If you suspect that you have depression or anxiety problems, you got to see a counselor or therapist!. You will feel loads better and you can get back on your feet in no time!.
Remember to cut the caffeine in your diet (careful with those energy drinks-they have heaps on it in them), and try not to play video games before trying to sleep( it can overstimulate your brain causing problems to sleep)
Good luck and I hope you'll feel better soon:)Www@Answer-Health@Com

oh, I feel so sorry for you, there are many different things to try, have you cut the tablets so they are easier to swallow!? Also you can try Camomile Tea, Warm Milk, Horlicks, they all relax you, and are natrual products!. Also try reading whilst in bed, this will make you very tired!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Best bet would be to speak with your family doctor if you have one, or go to a walk-in clinic!. Other than that you are going to have to suck it up and try to swallow a pill!. Try breaking the tablet in half and just swallow half at a time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
that's ok!. Just find something to do that is worthwhile, like homework, learn a new language, read a good book, learn to read music!. Take it as a good time to learn things!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ugh I have the same problem (the insomnia and the pill swallowing phobia)!. The only way I deal with it is by chewing Tylenol Pm's, it sucks but get the job done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
take 2 doses of benedryl, that will help you sleep, but you need to find out what the problem is (why you can't sleep)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
