    I've been awake all night. Why? Why? Why?

    I think those of us on akaqa just think more. Answers and Questions swirl in our minds. We say ... just one more questions ... or we say just one more answers. At that, we are off to the mind races. Maybe we can be happy that we don’t have dull brains.

    Do you review your whole day at bedtime?  Try laying there and asking "What keeps me awake at night?" Sometimes that works!

    Give me a complete minute by minute journal of your day incuding all your thoughts and I'll tell you WHY.

    We have a problem where I live with some of your countrymen and women begging on the streets, makes you wonder sometimes if life is worse in their own country!

    Romos ?

    Your great brain is keeping you awake. Turn off the computer at night, drink herbal teas, turn down lights, and tell yourself to sleep.  Sounds simple? I personally take pills.............

    hector?

    My great brain, eh? I think pills is the best answer. My great brain told me and so did you. : )

    I know the feeling all to well, to much coffee in the day time for me .. but it's my vice ,i love it !

    I just saw this question and instantly knew it was you, itsmee.  So wish there was a cure for insomnia, as I get it often, too.   You are married, so, respectfully, I suggest you and your hubby engage in some sex when you hit the sheets and see if that helps. I won't get any more personal than that.

    At one time I had a regular time to awake in the middle of the night. I believe it was 3AM. During that siege I read that this was called The Hour Of The Wolf.
    Lately, I’ve been going to sleep at 4:30AM and suffering terribly during the day.

    You REALLY can`t begin to understand just how awful insomnia is..unless you suffer from it!..It`s not just like someone who feels exhausted after missing ONE nights sleep!...It`s torturous truly!!:-Z

    WELCOME TO INSOMNIACS ANON EXCLUSIVE CLUB!!..(ONLY IT`S NOT SO EXCLUSIVE)!:-¬I`M YET TO FIND A CURE! (IT SUCKS I know..especially hate the hours between 4am and 7am when the day starts for me but the lack of energy is painful)!!!;->Not even sleeping meds (Prescribed ),work for me..and highly addictive anyway)!:-¬

    itsmee

    Oh, 4-7 are terrible! Maybe you haven’t slept all night. You look on the night stand and there are your sleeping pills but you know you don’t dare to take them. (I think that’s what I did when I fell asleep in the furniture store)

    Yeah me too Itsmee.I seem to sleep about one night out of three.Late night TV is really starting to bore me.I think I'll come down to the office & get on AKA in future.At least all of you Yanks will be awake at the same time,maybe we can chat.LOL

    Bob/PKB

    It's 10:40 Tuesday night when you answered this question! That would be very fun to have an Aussie on some night with us West Coast loons!
    Tommyh

    Well I'll give it a go BOB.
    itsmee

    Is there a chat room on akaqa. I was on a chatroom recently but not too many people were around,
    Tommy, Bob, and me would have a wild night in a chat room. (Others too ... You know who you are. : )) )

    u have drink 2 much red bull or something like that xd

    itsmee

    I chew Nicorette Gum and that is a possibility.

    There are several natural remedies. 1) 1tabelspoon of natural honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in 8 oz. of very warm water. Taken 1 hour before bedtime.


    2)Magnesium citrate- 2-3 capsules before bedtime.


    3)1 tabelspon of natural Apple cider vinegar with 1/2 teaspoon natural Vitamin C in granular form, in 4 oz. of warm water before bedtime.


    You have to give it at least one week to see results.


    Also a good way to fall asleep is exercise regularly, at least 4 times a week.

    Weather getting warmer.

    Strong drinking chocolate, made with hot milk, I found is very good,  or to have the radio on, with music, or what ever you find interesting, great to relax the mind,soon fall to sleep. It does it for me.

    you probley feel tierd but cant get to sleep you are just over tierd just have a glass of warm milk and read a book

    Usually a good hard day work, generally make me sleep well, in your case I would take Dowsa advice.
