Can't get any sleep at all????!


Question:

Can't get any sleep at all????

Last night I had a tremendous hard time trying to get to sleep.

Whenever my dad works his graveyard shift, I sleep in my mom's room on the floor. Sometimes I sleep on the bed but I surprisingly think both are at the same level of comfort to sleep on.

I don't know why I do this, I guess it's because my bed is uncomfortable and I can be afraid of the dark at times (and yes I'm not 3 yrs old anymore). I enjoy having sleep overs with my friends but I hate it comes to sleeping time because I can never sleep and I hear things (I only hear things, I don't see things though). My friend told me that one time a long time ago she used to see a blond girl wearing a white dress with a rose on the bottom of her dress and their cats would always meow when she was around. When I was sleeping over at my friends house, they were asleep and I heard their cats meowing. I was so scared I woke her up. The next time I heard the cats meowing and someone taking deep breaths. What can I do about this????


Answers:

i strongly suggest valerian root. it's great at releving stress and tension! you can get it over the counter and it's a great sleep aid! if you have one of those "racing minds" or "i can't turn my head off no matter how tired i am" then this will deffinately help. you can find at your local grocery store in the pharmacy or herbal remedy section. start off taking 500-1000mgs, 30-45 minutes before you go to bed. now you can get this stuff in capsle form and it's 100% safe (my whole family has been taking it for years and our family doctor actually recomended it) however the only downside is that the more potent the brand your taking the stronger the smell. and this stuff smells AWFUL! but it's worth it. within 5-7 days you should notice a definate change in your sleep.

WARNING! i strongly do not suggest that you take tylonal PM and boose, in any form or combination. the main ingredient in tylonal PM and advil pm, or benadryl for that matter is diphenhydramine. here's what happens when you take it:
You can walk into a drugstore and choose from an array of sleep aids, offered without prescription. The main ingredient of over-the-counter sleeping pills is an antihistamine. Antihistamines are generally taken for allergies, but also make you feel very sleepy. Common over-the-counter sleep medications are Sleep-Eze, Sominex, Nytol, and Unison; they contain antihistamines such as:

diphenhydramine hydrochloride,
diphenhydramine citrate, or
doxylamine succinate.
In general, over-the-counter sleep medications are not a good choice because they:

Are not intended for long-term use.
Interfere with mental alertness during the day, so you should avoid driving and other similar tasks. You may also be at risk for falling asleep
Reduce the quality of your sleep by reducing time you spend in deep sleep.
Use over-the-counter sleep medications only for transient or short-term insomnia and in conjunction with changes to your sleeping habits. Be sure to pay attention to your body’s physical response to these sleep medications.
