How do you get rid of insomnia?

Answer 1

== == Exercise, reducing stress, time to yourself, a dog to love, or a significant other who helps you feel better, eating healthy I had insomnia so badly one time that i almost went insane. It's a VERY long story, but I couldn't sleep for months, I was a vegetable. After trying every thing from herbs, to relaxation tapes, to warm baths, melatonin, Valerian root, biofeedback, you name it, none of it worked. I got on anti-depressants, and within a few weeks, I was almost myself. I was also prescribed xanax and I stayed on it (just at night) regularly for about 10 years. I just eased myself off of it (xanax) about six months ago, and I'm fine now. Still on Paxil, but you need to ask your doctor about it. So many things can cause insomnia. Mine was extreme. But I also exercise regularly, and TRY to eat healthy. You can't depend solely on pills, but if you work with your doctor, they (meds) can help you. Have you had a death in the family recently, or a divorce or a move? Those things can all hit you a few weeks, or even months later (as post-traumatic-stress-disorder) and manifest themselves in the form of insomnia. See a doctor. First the most important thing is insomnia is caused by stress if we reduces stress

than we can reduces insomnia .

# Try a short 20-minute nap on your lunch break, or simply lie under a tree for 10 minutes a day and take a few deep and lasting breaths.

# Exercise regularly to promote inner wellness, just make sure you exercise at least two hours before you go to bed or you will disrupt your sleep. # Meditate for five minutes daily, which can reduce your heart rate and help you feel calmer.

Answer 2

Over the Counter Melatonin could help you. Melatonin is a natural chemical the body creates to make you tired at night but awake and energized in the day, but it also comes in pill form. There's a lot of sleeping pills out there, but they have the downside of making you dependent on them if you're on them for too long. Since melatonin is, once again, a natural chemical, it doesn't have this problem.
