is this still insomnia?
Question:
Answers:
Home Care:
Try modifying your nighttime sleeping habits and other behavior before resorting to drugs to cure insomnia. For example:
Avoid using alcohol in the evening. Avoid caffeine for at least 8 hours before bedtime. Give up smoking, because nicotine is a stimulant.
Establish a regular bedtime, but don't go to bed if you feel wide awake. Use the bedroom for bedroom activities only. Once in bed, use creative imagery and relaxation techniques to keep your mind off unrestful thoughts. Avoid staying in bed for long periods of time while awake, or going to bed because of boredom.
Take your TV or computer out of your bedroom. Otherwise, your brain becomes used to the stimulation and starts to expect it when you are there. This makes it harder for you to fall asleep.
Relax by reading, taking a bath, or listening to soothing music before getting to bed.
A snack before bedtime helps many people. Foods such as warm milk or turkey have a natural sleep inducer called L-tryptophan.
Exercise regularly, but not in the last two hours before going to bed. Exercise, especially aerobic exercise, has been show to make people fall asleep faster and benefit from deeper and more restful sleep. Sex can be a natural sleep inducer and helps some people.
Avoid emotional upset or stressful situations prior to bedtime.

Yes, is there something on your mind, keeping you awake? Is there alcohol drinking in your family?
see alanon or alateen.org
Do you drink caffeinated beverages? cola, coffee, tea- quit.
There are natural sleep aids, herbal teas, etc, in the health food stores...
some foods, turkey, tuna, milk etc...make people sleepy; see what works for you.
