Does anyone else do this?

Great question!!
I have had this problem many times. Most likely it is caused by to much stress. Imagine that! lol
What I did to fix my problem was to learn meditation. It works perfectly for me.
Once you get into bed and get settled.close your eyes...start taking deep breaths through your nose and exhale through your mouth...you want to breathe in so that you feel your abs expand. Then let all of the air out through your mouth. Do it slowly. Next, I just listen to myself breathe in and out. It may take a few nights to get it down but it really does work. You just have to make sure that you completely tune in on your breathing. When you are concentrating on the breathing, then you cannot concentrate on anything else.
Goodluck and I sure hope it works.
this happens to me to.
i dont know why.
maybe stress.
i take a shower before bed to relax me.
and i usually go to bed pretty late so i just wear out eventually, and fall asleep.
i also try and read books before i sleep.
that takes my mind off of things and it makes me sleepy.
i hope this helped.
: )
everyday it happens to me!! i hate it too.i used tylonal pms for awhile but then u get addicted and cant fall asleep without them my new thing is to find a different position to sleep in.try talkin to your doctor i havnt went that far yet! good luck!
It happens every single night to me.
What makes me feel better is if I list all the things I need to do the next day on a piece of paper and put the piece of paper next to me on the bedside table, so I know exactly what to do when I wake up.
Also, I'd advise staying away from television or computer screens at least 30 minutes before bed.
Hope I helped! (:
I have difficulty sleeping also at times I just started to take melatonin it seems to help a little bit
I turn on the tube, set the timer for 1 hour, and before I know it Im GONE to dreamland!
Do some exercise like walking, jogging, hiking, swimming, or any other physical activity. Not only good for general health but also for sound sleep.
Also try this: When you are in bed close your eyes, and just imagne that there is blue all around you, that will help
Yes...and, I'm hearing more and more people complaining about this very same thing.
I'm glad you brought this up because I think it needs to be discussed more and researched. It's just been in the last three years that this has started to happen to me.
It's got to be related to stress, but I'm wondering if it has something to do with electronic technology. There are so many things that can be done now through technological advances that couldn't be done just 10 years ago that I think we have all developed <<Technostress>>. Our brain keeps reminding us of all the things that we can/need/should do and it seems to do so at the moment that we want to shut it off for a while.
Wouldn't it be great to have the same option that our computers have? Even if it hangs up and won't shut off, we can pull the plug. (Egad! that sounds like dying - forget I used that analogy!)
I don't like doing it, but if I absolutely have to get to sleep, I take allergy medicine - generic 'benedryl'. That's the chemical in the "PM" pain medications, and it's a lot cheaper in the generic form. You can get it at Costco (Kirkland brand), and as the drug store brand at most drug stores. A doctor once told me about it, it's affordable, and it works. I feel a little groggy the next morning, but at least I get my 8 hours that way. Take it about an hour before you want to go to sleep. Maybe it will work for you, too.
Adendum: I read where someone mentioned Melatonin. Be careful of that stuff. It helps most people sleep, but many have weird side-effects. I used to take it and I had extremely vivid dreams, many of them nightmares. I also acted out some of my dream acitivity, hitting the wall with my fist and throwing my pillow at a monster. (Google it for confirmation. According to my doctor, no one really knows the long-term effects of taking Melatonin for sleep problems. I stopped taking it about a year ago with no subsequent after-effects...so far.)
I use to have this happen to me and many of my friends as well.
I think the answer can be derived from too many schedules. We have evolved into a species that is run by the clock, we worry too much that we will be late for one event which can snowball our days out of control leaving our schedules in chaos.
To solve this, you have to learn to trust your mind that everything will be sorted out after a good night's sleep. (remember the saying to "sleep on it"?) Just make sure to plan everything out before going to bed, such as preparing cloths for the next day, having a breakfast in mind, and a time to leave the house. Finishing work the next morning is always a bad idea, however, "refreshing the mind" is always re-assuring.
Find your new rythm and give it some time before you start feeling positive results. Your body will need lots of time to recoup from the damage its worn down from.
