I have severe insomnia, have any of you found a natural way to deal with it?
no i just stay up and wait till i am tired enough to attempt to go to sleep
Like, what if you got in the habit of making up for a sleepless night by catching the missed zzz’s during the day? Is it still insomnia if you manage to sleep the reccomended amount but at daytime?
Not so much insomnia, but definitely a sleep disorder. Some people, like myself, are cursed by a genetic mutation called the after-hours gene. It is speculated that this gene is responsible for regulating the body’s internal clock (the circadian rhythm) and those who possess it work on a 27 hour day instead of 24 hours like normal folks. If you don’t have any reason to be up in the morning just stay up late and be proud to be a night owl. If it is something that bothers you, try taking a melatonin supplement. Melatonin is the hormone that makes you sleepy; normal people start secreting it around midnight.

I have been suffering from migraines and insomnia for aprrox 3 months. My doctor says they are probably related to each other. He has given me serval types of pain pills, and sleeping pills. Which work. But make me sleepy, and sluggish the next day. I work as a registered nurse so I know about the prescription medications. But of course we were never taught about Herbal remedies. Does any one have any that really work. I am having a real hard time with this because I have a demanding job and a family to take care of. And I feel completely worn out. My doctor does have me set up with specialist. But my appointments are not for some time.
I don’t do illegal drugs.
Have you tried melatonin for sleep? You can buy it at any vitamin store or drug store. You take it about two hours before bed time. It has no side effects and no "sleep hangover" in the morning. If that doesn’t work, there is a new prescription med called Rozerem. It is like a high potency melatonin and I’ve seen people have pretty good luck. Both Rozerem and melatonin may take a week or so to really know if they are working.
I just started taking magnesium for migraines. So far, so good. I have read numerous studies touting the benefits of magnesium and most suggest 250-500 mg/day.
Hope something works for you.
I’m asking this on behalf of my friend who is some what suffering from insomnia and this is really affecting her stress rate. Her mom always asks her to sleep at 7pm when she isn’t tired and she ends up staring into mid air blankly in the middle of the night. And this is really adding to her stress rate. Please help by giving some suggestions >.< thank you.
Hi,
You can find something useful to do.
Anyway you can not sleep! Then at least find something useful to do and the pleasure for having done something helpful to other people helps balancing stress.
Another good effect is that when you do something else than usual you might forget about your casual problems which do not let you feel how tired you really are. This is the best way to get easily asleep!

INSOMNIA: In Christopher Nolan’s INSOMNIA (based on Erik Skjoldbj?rg’s 1997 Norwegian film starring Stellan Skarsg?rd), the murder of a teenage girl in a remote Alaskan town called Nightmute has shocked the tight-knit community. The Los Angeles Police Department sends two of its cops–both under investigation by Internal Affairs–to try to solve the crime. The experienced, weathered Will Dormer (Al Pacino) has nothing in his life except the force. His younger partner, Hap (Martin Donovan), has a family to support and is willing to turn state’s evidence to protect them. Local cop Ellie Burr is excited to work with her hero, Dormer–until she starts uncovering some questionable situations. It isn’t long before Dormer finds the murderer–writer Walter Finch, played with subtle nuances by Robin Williams–but Finch knows a secret that could bring Dormer down. Director Nolan, who stunned audiences with 2001′s inventive MEMENTO, here crafts an atmospheric psychological thriller that is bathed in whites and grays. The acting is uniformly excellent, especially Pacino’s performance as a cop on the edge and Williams as a soft-spoken, low-rent crime novelist. Because it never gets dark in Alaska at this time of year, Dormer (a play on the Spanish word “dormir,” which means “to sleep”), with light always streaming into his hotel room, is unable to fall asleep; watching him slowly unravel is a treat.
