Sleeping problems...help?
Question:
Answers:

Have you tried Chamomile tea? Celestial Seasonings has a tea called Sleepytime.
Over the counter at your local wal-mart or similar store there is a pill called calms forte... works awesome and not addictive... works for me.. use it when i need it.
have a sleep study done, i had one and found out i had sleep apneia...and my problem was similar to yours except i didnt have a problem going to sleep, but just ask your doctor for a referral, dont take no for an answer, and get a sleep study done
I am surprised your doctor has not advised you to seek out the help of a sleep professional at a Sleep Clinic. This is possibly your next step.
In the meantime, try taking a hot bath before bed. Fill the bathtub with hot water (as hot as you can stand it) and mix in a bowl, 1/2 cup of each; baking soda, epsom salts and sea salt. Dump this mix into the bath water. Also add several drops (8-12) of pure lavender essential oil. Soak in the tub for a minimum of 1/2 an hour. You can buy the lavender oil in the health food section of a grocery store. Make sure it's a pure high quality oil.
Examine your diet and try to eliminate all the foods/drinks that may cause sleeplessness. Try drinking a small cup of hot milk before bed. This is an old remedy for inducing sleep and some people swear by it. Good luck with getting to sleep!
