Sleeping Problems?
Question:
Answers:
Many sleeping pills are addictive and this is perhaps the major drawback with taking them. You would suffer withdrawal symptoms when trying to come off them and probably a worsening of any sleep disorder.
Perhaps you would like to try some natural remedies. These include: camomile tea, lemon balm tea, passionflower extract tablets or tincture (passiflora incarnata), a calcium/magnesium combination tablet (2:1 ca/mg), or you can find a proprietary herbal blend for sleep promotion from most health stores or pharmacists. If you live in the US you could also try melatonin.
Other remedies that might help: taking a warm/hot bath before retiring, a few drops of lavendar essential oil on the edges of your pillow, heavy curtains to darken the room daytime, light reading prior to sleep.
It may take some time getting into a new sleep pattern. Try not to stress or that could make matters worse. Best to try and stay calm, relaxed and just not stressing about this.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.

you could get addicted to sleeping pills and that's not good. avoid rigorous activities prior to your sleeping time. I usually read a book or watch a lousy movie so i could feel sleepy..
sounds like you have sleep apea, a sleeping disorder, 90% of americans have it including myself. your dr. can help you and they will give you a sleep test.
Sleeping pills make you more or less dependent of them, and over time you will have to increase the doses to get the same effect. Try to make a little walk before you go to bed, thinking of nice things. In the long run this mat help you better than pills.
I believe the long term effects of any medication, over the counter or prescription, will wreak havoc on your body. Try this out... Close the curtains/blinds, turn off all TVs, radios, etc,. If it's not dark enough, get a sleep mask or pull a beanie down over your eyes. Find the most comfortable position to sleep in. Take a good long stretch and breathe deeply and slowly. With each exhale, relax your body starting with your toes and feet. Work your way up to your ankles, calves, knees, thighs, etc., until you get to your head (you might not even get that far). I've done this for many years and I've recommended it to other people. It works for me and they said it worked for them, too.
I work the graveyard shift and believe me it took a several months to adjust to the schedule. I darkened the room, and learned to turn off the tv or it distracted me from sleep. At first I had a lot of difficulty falling asleep. I would sometimes take a 25 mg benadryl, which my doc recommended and said was very safe, to help me fall asleep. Now 9 months after starting this shift, I have finally adjusted. My kids say that they think I am nocturnal now. It's kind of wierd because my internal clock has made the adjustment and wants me awake when it is night/dark, and asleep in the day/light. It took a lot of patience. Good luck to you.
