Strangely enough, Wifey and I sleep better when on the Atkins diet. Before we would usually wake up at least twice a night. On Atkins I always sleep right through and seem far more refreshed by it. One of the things that the Atkins diet does change is that I don't drink caffinated coffee or tea anymore and I drink a lot more plain water.

In your mind picture the word THE in big letters, and repeat over and over again. It does work, how i don't know, probably boredom.

Don't worry Sara, that’s just the wine. :p

I hate it; I have a lot of problems at night and have had for a number of years. It's not too bad if there's some distraction otherwise life can be pretty s***y. I’ve recently started hill walking that having some effect but it’s only at weekend so Sunday & Monday I’m not too bad, but it’s back to the 2.30 am grind on Tuesday.

Sex is meant to be good for getting to sleep.

Some chemical (the name escapes me) is released, which relaxes you and helps you go to sleep.

The old joke about men dropping off after sex is true!

I hope you wait till after you have finished :D

trust a man to come out with that excuse...............:rolleyes:

Re: Do you know who to get a goodnights sleep?
 

Milky drink......avoid caffeinated drinks (tea, coffee, cocoa etc)
Milky drinks contain a substance called L-tryptophan which makes you sleepy.
Avoid exercise before bed as this causes the release of Adrenalin......the fight or flight hormone.
Have a cool bedroom......no TV, no Radio.
Warm bath before bed may help.
One drop of lavender oil on your pillow may also help.
If you haven't gone to sleep 20 minutes after going to bed.......get up and do something really boring......don't go back to bed until you are really sleepy.

Re: Do you know who to get a goodnights sleep?

Johnstons the baby range do a camomile bath which really makes you tired!

Re: Do you know who to get a goodnights sleep?
 

Oh well slinky don't use it unless you want to become a widow.
I haven't heard of anyone allergic to lavender oil......it is one of the safest oils going.
Kiki is right you could try Chamomile.......but don't go for the oil it is really expensive.

Re: Do you know who to get a goodnights sleep?
 

You have now. I remeber sitting in his mates livingroom one day and his mates girlfriend was spraing something on her hair. I never gave it a second thought. After about 5 minutes hubby said ''what you spraying in your hair'' in between splutters and she said ''lavender oil''. He said he knew it was and ran outside. He said his chest was sooooooo tight it felt like someone was saton it (so I got off) lmao no seriously he always has been allergic to it since being young.

Aromatherapy Oil Clary Sage is a sedative, you can get it pre mixed from a good Aromatherapist most beauty salons who offer aromatherapy massage will happy mix you some up for a small charge, it really works, just avoid alcohol if you use it.

Re: Do you know who to get a goodnights sleep?
 

Last week at the Hyndburn Healthy Heart thingy they said that bananas help you sleep but not to eat them immediately before bed, maybe an hour before.

The general accepted normal sleep requirement is 8 hours but some people don't need as much as others. I find that if I stay up late then I can't get through a whole day without a short nap as a kind of catch-up.

Re: Do you know who to get a goodnights sleep?
 

Our requirements for sleep if different from one person to the next. Have a read on this web site about sleep.
