I'm having a bit of insomnia but I'm afraid to take sleeping medicatio!


Question: I'm having a bit of insomnia but I'm afraid to take sleeping medication?
My psychiatrist gave me sleeping medicine to help me sleep when I need it. I'm afraid to take it though. I'm afraid I won't wake up in the morning if I take it. It's a liquid because I can't swallow pills. I'm really afraid to take it. Help?

Try this breathing technique when you first get into bed:

1. Take a deep breath.
2. Breathe in through your nose and visualize the air moving down to your stomach.
3. As you breathe in again silently count to four.
4. Purse your lips as you exhale slowly.
5. This time count silently to eight.
6. Repeat this process six to ten times.

Try the following relaxation exercise before you get into bed:

1. Lay on your back on the floor with your feet slightly apart, your hands by your sides, and your palms turned upward.
2. Close your eyes and concentrate on every part of your body.
3. Begin at the top of your head and work your way down to your toes.
4. Start by feeling your forehead tense, then your eyes, face, and jaw.
5. Tense and release each muscle group, such as your shoulders and neck.
6. Give attention to each area of your body from the top of your head, down through the trunk of your body, down along your legs, and ending at the tip of your toes.
7. Stay in this relaxed condition for a few minutes. Concentrate on your breathing and let all worry and stress dissipate from your mind and body. Make sure that your breathing comes from deep in your stomach and flows slowly and evenly.
8. Stretch slowly before standing.

I have to agree with person above I use melatonin as well. It comes in a liquid form and works great without making me tired the next day.



take melatonin. It tells your brain it's time to rest. It's in the vitamin isle. I've never woke up groggy from it
