Sleeping problems?!


Question:

Sleeping problems?

I am having problems sleeping. For the past three weeks as soon as I get into bed around midnight, I toss and turn for a good hour before going to sleep. After that, I wake up around 3 in the morning and then 6 in the morning. Then I finally wake up around 9. I am exhausted yet I cannot go back to sleep.

Then, Sunday night I went to bed around midnight again and could not fall asleep until 4 in the morning. I tried watched some DVD's and could not go to sleep. Finally I turned the weather channel on and finally went to sleep. Then I woke up at 6, 8, and finally 9:30. Last night I went to bed around 11:00. I tossed and turned for about an hour, then turned on ESPN and finally went to sleep around 1:30-2 in the morning. I am exhausted. How can I cure my sleeping problem? I have tried diet change, exercise, and even warm milk (which I hate). Is there any over the counter drug I can take that will not make me dependent?

i've tried everything under the sun. In response to the first answer by beci. I have tried everything you have said already. I just need to know about over the counter pills that I can take when I need it. I am already sleepy when I am going to sleep or else I would not try to go to sleep


Answers:

i've had insomnia for a couple of years now.. usually find it helps if i have a warm bath and read a book before i go to bed which is usually quite late. also you could try doing tiring excersises before bed to make you a bit more worn out. try not to watch too much tv unless its boring, as your brain will be too stimulated. if none of this helps, you could try sleeping pills. i use 'Kalms' which make your body feel relaxed but you dont get drowzy. good luck!
