Answers:
Doesn't really sound like a full blown case of insomnia!. Exercising too close to the time you go to bed can cause you to not be able to sleep!. You did mention that you play football!. Are your practices in the evening!? People vary in their need for, and satisfaction with, sleep!. Insomnia isn't only about the number of hours a person sleeps each night; rather, it is also about a person's perception that his or her sleep is inadequate!. A feeling of inadequate sleep may be caused by:

? Difficulty falling asleep
? Difficulty staying asleep

Insomnia is described by how long it lasts!.

? Transient Insomnia: lasting for a short time
? Intermittent Insomnia: occurring on and off
? Chronic Insomnia: occurring on most nights and lasting for a month or more!.

Do you eat healthy!? Food can play a factor in depriving you of sleep!. Behavioral treatments include a well-balanced diet rich in complex carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables!. You should avoid evening stimulations such as television, exercise (football practices) or going to bed right after coming home!. A warm bath to promote circulation can help, but note that it should be taken at least one hour before bed to give your body time to cool down and relax!. Breathing techniques, yoga and a consistent bedtime routine are also effective!. I hope I've shedded a little light on your situation!. Sweet dreams!Www@Answer-Health@Com
