Should i turn to sleeping pills....?!
Question: Should i turn to sleeping pills!.!.!.!.!?
I'm 13, it's been a year since my sleep problems started in fact i was 11 when i got insomnia, i would fall asleep at 3,4 or maybe 5am and had to get up at 7am for school, a couple of months later my sleep patterns changed so that i was falling asleep around 1am which for me was great!. Fast forward another few months my sleeping habits are bad again, falling asleep at 4 or 5am and getting up at 7 it's been like that for 6 or 7 months!. Recently my sleep patterns changed again but now i fall asleep at 1am and wake up at 2 or 3am and can't get back to sleep!. It's absolutely killing me, i've tried herbal pills and they don't work and believe me i have tried EVERYTHING apart from sleep medication, in your opinion should i try it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Talk to your parents!. My sister is around your age and she is autistic!. She has sleeping problems too but we cant use sleeping pills because of the chemicals involved!. We use these pills called Melatonin!. They aren't medication or any type of chemical like in tylenol and stuff!. Melatonin is safer and its over-the-counter so you can buy it at grocery stores like vitamins!. It works really well so if you haven't tried it yet i would talk to your parents about it!.

Well first try not taking medicine!. Here are a few tips to falling asleep with no medication:
Do:
Read before bed
drink a cup of hot tea
use an herbal or flowery body lotion
think pleasant thoughts
But never:
Run around before bed
Eat something with sugar or fat
Drink anything with caffiene
Watch a scary movie
But if worst comes to worst as a last resort you could try Ambien Cr!. It works and is not addictive!.
Hope this helpes!!! I hope you fall asleep better!!!
Good Luck and best wishes!!!! -Caitlin

well i first tried tylenol pm and that worked pretty well because it usually took me 2-3 hours to fall asleep and with the tylenol it took my less than 40 mins and it's not addictive so they say!. I've been taking perscription pills since 3 weeks ago and now i fall asleep without anything!. try otc first thoughWww@Answer-Health@Com
i have that same exact problem! but sometimes what helps me is just trying to listen to calming music wile trying to sleep, and taking benedryl, if you havent tried taking that yet!. benedryl makes you drowsy!.
or have you tried like drinking velarian root tea!? that works well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
