I'm literally drinking milk. Sugary chocolate milk.
Whatever helps to get me asleep.
Can't ser how that'll get you sleeping if it has sugar in. I guesd it may do if you've only a little sugar or maybe your body is at a stage it's ready fot sleep n you'll sleep.
Warm milk honey.
Try that next time you want sleep is my advive. Homey is natural n good for the body. Milk is filling, heavy..,....the warmth of it will aid sleep. Plese try it if you've not already n let me know how that goes. Shame for anyome strugglimg with sleep.
Warning long post
I've never had an issue with sleep in my life bar the old night now n then where I end of tossing n turning but we've all had that. A famous, German, psychologists says never try to force sleep. He's right though---you can't n WONT succeed. Think about it---before a person drifts off into the land of nod they are relaxed, they're body is relaxed n their mind is relaxed. By "concentrating" on ways in which to bring on sleep you making your mind work----making it active, so your bodu is going to STAY AWAKE not sleep. it dorsn't matter how maby times you press the up-volume for the TV it will never mute the TV; the wrong buttoss are pressed.
If a person struggles with sleep on a contintualled basis thee is somthing that obviously needs addressing, focused n changed. These things can affect sleep
- Too much exercise or exercising during the end of the day, not limited to, but specifically cardiovascula - exercise the speeds up the heart ie running.
- keekig the mind activr in the evening, tbere needs to be a "winding period"
- stimulanting drinks such as caffeine based coffee or energy drinks, in the evening. My theory is that too many stimulant drinks throughout the day can affect the heart n affect sleep. I believe this washappening to someonr I worked witn but didn't her as she wa one evil, manipulative bitch who conspired to try nget me sackef until i played her at her owngame of maipulation, I wasn't putting up with that again having beenvictim to it before).
- stress n worry. These are big obsticles towars sleep because the mind has become active playing over n over, in the head, whatever the particular stress or worry is. Sleep usually can't be fully achieved until the issue has been tackled n so people may manage broken sleep at most.
Its important to not focus om a sleep problem n make it an issue by doing so you've changed---what should ne a natural, relaxing n enjoyable process into a "chore that needs completing---i must fall asleep." By doing so you've set yourself a huge obsticle n sleep won't happen[\b]. You need your body n mind to work witj you n not against you n this is a huge burdle for people dealing with sleep issues / insomnia because we are "little scientists / cognitive misers" our minds automaricallg want to find solutios to problems n thus we automaticaly try apply our natural technique to sleeps issues n then the hair is pulled out of the skull as our plans backfire on us; actually asking ourselves why this is so when it's common sense if we sit down n take a few minutes to ponder it n it dawns onus thar we simply do the opposite of what we have been conditinef / programmed to do our whoe, entire lives. We:-
- Stop trying to solve the issue, stop making it an issue
- Stop figting it
- find ways to relax the mind; chillout music, warm bath, quiet time. As litte cognitive activity as possible
- When in bed simpy lie down n relax as opposed to thinking about sleep. Sleep shouldn't enter into the thougt-process at all. Just relax your body n mind n without thinking abot it you'll have dropped off to sleep n some hours will have passed
