Sleeping issue. Is it Insomnia?

[Riva]

It's 12.35 and I am still awake.
I went to sleep at 10.30 so that I could get up at 4 and do yoga. cool: I know)

I have calculated my sleep cycle. Which is actually 5hrs and 30mins (max).
But today I am finding it hard to sleep, infact I tried to for the last 1 1/2, couldn't so I came here.

Anyway,
Is it insomnia or all the sugar I ate at around 8?

 

[Riva]

Yeah, this thread ain't going no where.

Anyway, it should be noted that (for those who knows about insomnia) my sleeping capacity has gone down during the last few months.

Yeah I hate insomnia.

Excercise/Melatonin/Avoid caffine/eat right helps a bit.

I do all that.

Maybe it's all the sugar i ate today.

I mean i ate like 5 huge pieces.

And ate some indian sweets. (bloody indians)

So it could be the energy inside me.

I got this special smoke that does wonders but I don't think it is a good recomendation to you. Might turn you into a hippy.

learnign to clear your mind is good (NT's often report insomnia... crowded head)....

Clearnign your mind, tunring off techn equipment about an hour before you sleep (ie TV is probably OK but not in bed, but computer needs to be off and in another room).

set a routine, ideally with a relaxing bath in the evening.

Bananas are suppose to be sleep inducing
Tea/Coffee even decafe are bad... dont' drink fruti juice either. Alcohaul is appauling, it destroys sleep quality.

If it persists, consult an accupuncturist - its one of those things that accupuncture is likey to be increadibly effective for.


Sorry you are not having an easy time, lack of sleep is hell

Ganja makes my head go dizzy. And time goes too fast.

*notices the energy i mentioned earlier going down my body, to the between of my legs*

bold - which is quite the issue. the mind thinks it should sleep but the body thinks it should not.

I do drink a lot of tea.

But the last thing i want are some needles up my ass to put me to sleep.
ps - there are no accupuncturists here that are famous.

try Saps hypnosis, or a non famous accupuncturist.

Trust me the needles dont' hurt and it has an amazing impact on you....

Try clearnign your mind, it's the key to good sleep.

Another way is to start at one end of the body and work you way up/down clenching and relaxing muscle groups... reallly does work at making you feel sleepy

true.
it should be noted that i practice yoga every morning and also vipassana (a type of meditation) throughout the day.

maybe, it's because i am relaxed a bit more a lot more than i used to be that my sleep requirement has gone down.

meaning - the more tired you are the sleepier you would feel and vise versa.

It could be my EGO speaking.
so try not to applaud my assumptions till i come to a correct conclusion.

yoga is calming, but it doesn't nessesarily equat to clearing your mind an hour or two before going to bed.... try closing down thinking about your day and think of nicer things....

Take some benedryl?

Dude, you need some melatonin. Pronto. I think you definitely have insomnia if you average less than 6 hours per night of sleep. Aside from doing that on rare occasions when you have to, that isn't healthy or normal.

 

[avolkiteshvara]

pretty much anything you take at night will keep you drowsy in the morning.



Lift weights. Helps regulate circadian rhythms.

:C
But the good news is the next day I slept for 8 hours. Meaning the 3 hours I missed + the 5.30 hours I usually sleep.

Thanks guys, thank you so much for the replies.
I think it was all those cakes I ate that day.
Kept me awake till 3 a.m.
Got late to go to work. Good thing I know how to make things sound big, because they actually (my immediate boss) advised me to have a little nap before starting to work again.
Anyway like I said before I managed to sleep 8 hours the next day.

But on that particular day I couldn't sleep I used -

"the old boys hostel method."

or "the Prison boys method"

or "the army barracks method"

Get the picture anyone?
