Insomnia can also be caused by an irregular schedule, exercise too close to bedtime, etc. One easy tip: only use your bed for sleep and sex. If you can't sleep, get up, and go to another room to read, or another quiet activity.
There are also a number of natural sleep aids, such as melatonin, which are not habit-forming, and much cheaper. Just some food for thought. |
I just got off the phone with someone who loves Melatonin - I'm going to try it ...she said it works great. Not saying it'll work for everyone but it's a much cheaper and natural way and if it works - then you dont have to worry about side effects
