Okay health-conscious people, this borderline malnourished kid wants to ask if you know any un-medicated/healthier way of alleviating insomnia...I've been having trouble sleeping at night, I only manage to sleep around dawn and it sucks because I have to wake up in the morning for work. and you know what lack of sleep does, makes you crabby, sad, and burned out.

I don't think searching the net for "legit" ways to treat insomnia will be of any help since I have to read every single article there is and I have not a time to spare for that, it will only make my insomnia worse. O_O and I seriously hope people here will not give me article-long answers either...
Base it on your own experience nalang please.

I'm only asking people who know something that has anything to do with beating insomnia to death.
Trolls will not be fed.

Another thing, since I'm considering the vegetarian diet anyway, will it be of any help at all?

The best (pragmatic, not ideal) answer will get a Totoro plushie. yay.
ya srsly, teh token of my lulzy gratitude. (don't listen to my bandmates, i do have a heart)
NAO DO IT FOR GRAET JUSTICE AND THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIPZ!

my bro (who's a nursing student) told me that apple is also good for sleep deprivation aside from milk so you can chow on Fuii apple before you brush your teeth.

you can take a look at this site.

FINDOT

er, im eating apple almost everyday...and drinking milk...nothing is happening. @_@

ohh i forgot... try to relax yourself

may isang advise pa pala ang dady ko and titas ko.

madexercise sa umaga. bakbak ng trabaho then sa gabi gulay galore sa hapunan.

me too i have the same problem at tingin ko mas worst pa kase kahit na di ako naka2log magdamag kinabukasan mg 4 - 6 am pa ako makakatulog

parang tropa kong taga-kol senter. pagtaym awt sa umaga, mga 6am, red horse ang almusal para pampatulog daw at naka-sheyds pag-uwi pananggalang sa sikat ng araw. kaya siguro bumenta ang twaylayt kase sa pinas ngayon marami na rin ang buhay bampira

pahabol:
lunas din pala sa insomnia, magbate o kaya makipagseks
bukod sa alkohol, pede rin tsongke kaso may huli hehehe

problema ko din to e. minsn nga di n ko nakakatulog derecho pasok.

suggestion

pwede sleeping pills?no overdosage lang sana..

di ko pa na try yan sleeping pills at saka medyo delikado yata yan

nabasa ko na, isang cause din daw ng insomia e, over stimulation......yung sobrang pag iisip, kunwari pag may mga ideas ka na gusto mong magawa or pag may problema ka na ayaw umalis sa isip...

pero ako iniisip ko lang yung byanan ko, nakakatulog na ko, ayoko na nga magising e

solution: unisom 25mg . otc sa mga colurum na botika. 11 hours of sleep minimum. pag gising mo inaantok kapa. kung ayaw naman nyo masobrahan ng himbeng just cut the pill in half. ni-rerecomend madalas sa mga callcenter agents na 2 hours a day lang ang tulog.

BABALA: wag i-try kung takot mamatay

Melatonin is an herbal supplement that might help
that or what I do is , write and type away till I fall asleep from
thinking and composing.
Another thing that works for me is having sex before I sleep...
but then I end up falling asleep at 3am from exhaustion.

o kaya mas natural na solusyon pag aralin ang kasambahay mang- SLEEPER HOLD, karaniwang technique na madalas ginagamet sa wrestling.

Magbasa lang ng medical book tungkol sa Insomia..magigisng ka nalang na late ka na pala sa trabaho.

may ged, halos di nga ako umiinom ng gamot eh kahit me sakit ako.....mas lalo na yang sleeping pills, nanginginig just by hearing that. hahaha.

i was told din before na melatonin supplements daw inumin ko...di ba ako magiging dependent dito...?

Shrooms, di ka ba magtatanong sakin kung ano ginagawa ko para maayos ko sleeping habits ko?

listen to music. yung easy lang pakinggan. nakakatulong yun sakin kapag nararamdaman kong may evil monster sa ilalim ng higaan ko. lolz

appreciate sleep!

well sakin nakakatulog lang ako ng mahimbing usally pag lasing ako lasing na tipong gumagapang na ^_^

ang swerte mo miyong. haha.

pambawi lang sa puyat para sakin.

stresstab, pagkain, maraming tubig, vit c and b-complex

i listen to SLEEP. preferably Jerusalem or Holy Mountain.

^ haha oo nga no

really. milk. O_O i drink milk everyday...but.....

last night i tried listening to an audiobook of Lullaby written by Chuck Palahniuk...it was interesting that instead of lulling me to sleep, i ended up sleeping around 3 am again. grr sleeping strategy fail.

have you heard of the color imagination technique?

you know the colors of the rainbow right? ROYGBV

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet.

Try to relax, and position yourself in a most comfortable way you can be.
Close your eyes.
Then you start with the colors.

First off, red. Try to imagine and i mean really imagine something red. Anything red. Like, an apple.

You have to really concentrate and imagine the apple just like it's really in front of you. Don't stop until you're convinced that you painted in your mind, a very perfect image of a red... not green, nor any other color, but a very red and very realistic apple. Don't stop until you do so.

After that, if you are already satisfied that you've imagined the most perfect red object, you move on to the next color... orange. All you have to do is paint the most orange object in your mind. And don't skip any color until you have orange right in front of your face.

I do this whenever i have sleep problems. I never ever reached yellow. Orange already makes me fast asleep.

Works for me though. Try it!!!

^ tnx for the sharing bro. ill try this if i am difficult to sleep.

get yourself one of those photoshop/flash/dreamweaver instructional dvds.
5 mins into any of those lessons and it would be a miracle if you're still awake.
