Need some advice...

Does anyone has some tricks to fall asleep at night? I don't know, if that's the heat, the fact that I'm alone or insomnia but I can't fall asleep at night even though I'm tired. The only thing someone told me to do is drink hot milk. I did it yesterday night but it didn't work

Hey, I don't think we've ever talked before, but you're in my flist and when I saw your post I thought that maybe I could help, since I have a bad case of insomnia.

I'm trying to avoid taking pills, because they could easily lead to addiction, and so I have some tricks to try to fall asleep that could be helpful.

I think the most important thing is relaxing, and chamomile tea can help with that (it works better for me than hot milk). If you can't fall asleep, it's better to get out of bed and distract yourself with something, do some other thing for a while and then try again. It also helps me waking up earlier and increasing my daily activity.

As for the heat, I guess it's kind of impossible to avoid it, and I hate that, haha. Well, sorry for the rambling and for my bad English. I hope it helps you in some way :).

Ana.

Thank you so much for your advice! I will try it: relaxing, distracting myself, I can do that!

Glad we exchanged, really nice to meet you, and are you kidding me about your english? It is perfect!! But what could I really know about it since I'm french!! I am the one making grammar mistakes here!

Well, anyway, thanks a lot!

Read. Or write. Like with a pen/pencil and paper not on a computer. For me (I have really bad insomnia especially when it's hot) those two things are what can finally do me in.

Reading!! You are right! Why didn't I think about it before? About the writing, never tried this so I'll give it a shot next time! Thank you for your advice, samiagirl :)
