Any help falling asleep?!


Question:

Any help falling asleep?

Im having ALOT of trouble sleeping lately. I cannot fall asleep until around 4 am and then I only sleep til around 8. I cannot use sleep aids b/c my doctor will not prescribe them. I know it has something to do with the fact that I'm in a knee immoboilizer that is Extremely uncomfortable, but if anyone has any suggestions that would be a great help. Its starting to really wear me down. Thanks!

I dont drink any soda/coffee, ect.
I have tried reading. I can't exercise at all b/c I cant walk that far due to a knee surgery I had last week. I cant take a bath b/c I cant get my knee wet.


Answers:

First of all do not use TV to fall asleep. Do not eat anything big before bedtime. Turn on only a night lamp when you know it is bedtime. No other lights should be on. Turn off the TV and the computer ahead of time before sleep. Try reading with the night lamp while in bed. Try not to go to bed with an air conditioner on or windows open. A shower before bedtime or music with earphones may help too. Being relaxed in the dark should bring on sleepiness! =<)
