Try 'sleepytime tea'...rosehip tea...valerian root tea with honey as it's bitter on its own...massage...good ole warmed milk...reading for slumbering the eyes...

I have a rule... No coffee after 3pm. It helps.There are also herbal remedies. Suisse "Sleep" tablets gave me some rest.Worth trying.

I have had good sucess with camomille tea before bedtime. Meditation also is very calming. It is very hard to function without sleep. You are going through some stressful times. I have never tried hypnosis myself..Lindilou and Tommy have alo some good sugestions.. You can try one at a time and see if it works for you..

Thank you Ann..I actually bought some herbal mixture of leaves ??What..from Neal`s Yard today...I cut out the diet coke and am on H20!...I ran 10K..early evening and shall try hot milk tonight!:-)..Meditation is a GREAT idea thanks...but It would send me even crazier,if that`s possible...I just can`t sit still for more than a minute!!:-)Lol!!...I`m also taking on a new approach of trying not to stress if I can`t sleep..worrying re it only makes it worse!;-) I`ll have to sleep eventually!...its just a horrid nuisance!!...Thank you and the O`s for your help! xxmillie

I tried hypnosis to give up cigarettes some years ago it worked ,the habit used to worry me, now I'm quite relaxed about smoking and enjoy it more than ever! I empathize with your sleeping problem as I have insomnia, and have had for many years,it's a huge problem, I can't offer advice as I haven't found a solution other than sleeping tablets, I hope you find something that helps you

I was successfully hypnotized a couple of times; I think you need to keep reinforcing the concepts somehow following the hypnosis, and you have to be open-minded about the process and trust the hypnotist.
My son was prescribed "melatonin" as a sleep aid. It definitely helped him sleep well and he awoke refreshed and ready to meet the new day.
Perhaps a bedtime routine would help your mind accept sleep more quickly. (I wash my face; I brush my teeth; I turn off all the lights; I plug in my cell phone to recharge; I check to make sure home is secure; I ...) For myself, I work on a puzzle (Sudoku, Jumble, Crossword, Cryptogram) before going to sleep. I sleep better when I've said a prayer of thankfulness, too.

I went to a hypnotist once. They just suggest things to you that you already know, but don't practice. Millie, aren't you the one that said your mother is not doing well ? So, it's understandable if you're not sleeping under those circumstances. Take two Tylenol an hour or so before you go to bed. It makes a lot of people sleepy . It makes me very relaxed and sleepy.
God will be with you.
