Answers:
Call your Dr and make an appointment immediately!. They will be able to diagnose any problems you might have!. They can also prescribe medication to help you sleep!.

Being awake for six days is not good for you or anyone near you!. You reflexes are like those of someone who is drunk or under the influence!.

Do not drive, make any big decisions, or operate any machinery until you get some sleep!. You are at risk for hurting yourself or someone else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

What drugs are you on that kept you awake for 6 days!. If its speed than drink **** loads of water!.
I wouldn't suggest any more sleeping medication as you can potentially OD!. I personally have never heard of anyone staying awake with no drugs for that period of time!. If your the first and are legitimate I suggest you ring the Guinness book of records and get a representative to come over and drug test you to see if this is true!.

What is Insomnia!?
Although it's common to have the occasional sleepless night, insomnia is the lack of sleep on a regular basis!.

Before starting any natural remedies, consult your doctor!. Chronic insomnia can itself be a symptom of another condition, such as depression, heart disease, sleep apnea, lung disease, hot flashes, or diabetes, so it's important to see a doctor if you are having trouble sleeping!.

Natural Remedies for Insomnia
Here are fourteen natural remedies that are used to treat insomnia!.

1) Valerian
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a herb that has been long used as a remedy for insomnia!. Today, it is an accepted over-the-counter insomnia remedy in Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Italy!.

Exactly how valerian works in the body is still not well understood!. Some studies suggest that like conventional sleeping pills, valerian may affect levels of the calming neurotransmitter GABA!.

Unlike many other sleep medications, valerian is not believed to be addictive or cause grogginess in the morning!. But valerian doesn't work for everyone!. And although studies in labs have been encouraging, clinical trials are still inconclusive!.

Valerian is usually taken between an hour before bedtime!. It takes about two to three weeks to work!. It shouldn't be used for more than three months at a time!. Side effects of valerian may include mild indigestion, headache, palpitations, and dizziness!. Although valerian tea and liquid extracts are available, most people don't like the smell of valerian and prefer taking the capsule form!.

Valerian shouldn't be taken with many medications, especially those that depress the central nervous system, such as sedatives and antihistamines!. Valerian shouldn't be taken with alcohol, before or after surgery, or by people with liver disease!. It should not be taken before driving or operating machinery!. Consultation with a qualified health practitioner is recommended!. For more information about valerian, read the Valerian Fact Sheet!.

2) Melatonin
Melatonin is a popular remedy to help people fall asleep when the sleep/wake cycle has been disturbed, such as in shift workers or people who with jet lag!.

Melatonin is a hormone found naturally in the body!. The pineal gland in the brain makes serotonin which is then converted into melatonin at night when exposure to light decreases!.

Melatonin is typically taken about 30 minutes before the desired bedtime!. Some experts caution that melatonin should not be used by people with depression, schizophrenia, autoimmune diseases, and other serious illness!. Pregnant and nursing women should not use melatonin!.

The University of Alberta study examined 17 studies with 651 people and found no significant side effects when used for three months or less!. The long-term effect of melatonin supplementation is not known!. For more information about melatonin, read Boosting Melatonin Naturally!.

3) Kava
Kava is an anti-anxiety herb that may be helpful for anxiety-related insomnia!. However, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory to consumers about the potential risk of severe liver injury resulting from the use of dietary supplements containing kava!. To date, there have been more than 25 reports of serious adverse effects from kava use in other countries, including four patients who required liver transplants!. Learn more: What is kava!?

4) Relaxation Techniques
Relaxation techniques are one of the most effective ways to increase sleep time, fall asleep faster, and feel more rested in the morning!. They require a minimum of 20 minutes before going to bed!. There are many different techniques:

# Visualization involves imagining a relaxing scene!. You can try it in bed before falling asleep!. Involve all your senses!. If you're imagining yourself on a tropical island, think of the way the warm breeze feels against your skin!. Imagine the sweet scent of the flowers, look at the water and listen the waves--you get the picture!. The more vivid the visualization and the more senses you involve, the more effective it will be!.

# Relaxation Response - A mind/body technique based on the principles of Transcendental Meditation!. Learn how to elicit the relaxation response

# Mindfulness - A type of meditation that essentially involves focusing on your mind on the present!. Learn mindfulness!.

# Yoga combines deep breathing, meditation, and stretching!. A Harvard study found that daily yoga for eight weeks improved total sleep time, the time to fall asleep!. If you've never tried yoga before, not to worry!. There are many gentle yoga styles to choose from!.

# Progressive Muscle Relaxation is a promising natural remedy for sleep!. If you've never tried a relaxation technique before, this technique is easy to learn and simple to master!.
