Insomnia...

[LeftEyeNine]

Reading a book may stimulate your mind as well as it can tire out your brain.

Also doing exercises in an hour before going to bed will stimulate your metabolism too. The afterwards exhausting is temporary; your body will take this exercising message such that you need to feel ready to move and energetic, hence giving you a sleep disorder.

The sleeping habits are genetic, me thinks. It just varies from one to another just like how your fingerprints do. So even though you may try all advises here, you may end up looking at the ceiling mumbling curses in the dead of the night.

The easiest way to get to sleep is not getting frustrated about it. The more you think you can not sleep the harder you'll get some.

Being problemous with falling asleep since birth, the only way that I can get some is absolutely SKIMMING THE HELL LIFE out of my mind by tiring it out to a point where I can't think anymore.

- Don't get annoyed while trying to sleep.
- Don't make this a BIG problem while it isn't.
- See a doctor if it reaches to a point of no-sleep.
- Try to overcome energy flaw problems with vitamin/herbal supplements until it gets a bit better. Still, at your age, you need at least 6 hours of sleep.



Hope that helps.

LEN's right on many accounts. A good way to get to sleep is to learn how to "will" yourself to sleep by emptying the mind. This is something I have to work hard to do because I find that relaxing my body liberates my thoughts. The body doesn't need sleep, the brain does. Once it relaxes, sleep will come.
