You’re in bed but your mind is still racing. You’re becoming increasingly worried as the night goes on. You find yourself looking at the clock AGAIN, only to find that night is turning into morning. You’re worried that you are not going to get enough rest to make it through your day tomorrow, again! For someone suffering from insomnia, this quickly becomes a routine. And when you try to get in bed the next night, it happens again… and this time you’re anxious and worried about sleep before you even go to bed. Your insomnia is causing more insomnia! It can be a vicious cycle.
Sleep disorders and insomnia are becoming more and more common in our society. We all lead lives that are full of commotion, from morning to night. We are in a habit of making the most of every minute and still find that there aren’t enough hours in the day. We hit the ground running and go until well after dinner, sometimes well into the night. With that kind of daily routine, does it surprise you that your mind and body have trouble relaxing when it’s time to go to sleep?
If you’re looking for relief for your insomnia, there are many things you can try. Sleep disorders and insomnia have been problems for people for centuries and many remedies have been proven to work.
If your day is filled with stress and you are approaching bedtime, initiate a bedtime routine. Set aside some time before getting into bed and go through a routine every night. With time, this will signal your body to relax and will help ease your mind. Your bedtime routine can involve a relaxing warm bath, reading a book, yoga poses, or meditation. Make sure your choices are things that are calming and will welcome sleep.
Exercise may be the key to solving your sleep disorders and insomnia. Getting some exercise during your day will cause your body to seek out rest at night. In addition, exercise is a great stress reliever. Experiment with the times that exercise works for you. It is recommended that you exercise earlier in the day so that your body is not fighting the urge to relax at night.
And if you continue to have problems with insomnia and feel like it’s time to see a doctor about your sleeping problems, try keeping a sleep diary. Record when you have problems sleeping, what you do during the day, what stress levels you’re at at night, etc. This may help you and your doctor in solving your sleeping issues.

Whats the best cure for insomnia or sleep disorders?
I have a terrible habit of sleeping during the day and staying up all night wondering what the fck to do. Any suggestions?
And no, I don’t drink blood.
See insomnia treatments, in section 3, at ezy build, below. Use one of the relaxation methods, in bed, after lights out, on pages 2, 11, 2.c, or 2.i, but they can take some time to learn, (progressive muscular relaxation excepted) so learn and become proficient in their use during the day; an alternative is to use the EFT, in section 53, and pages 2.q, and 2.o, saying to yourself: "Even though I currently have a sleep disorder, I deeply and completely accept myself." (or choose your own wording) while you use the acupressure tapping. Find out which works best for you, in the daylight hours, so you will be prepared, come bedtime. For many people, a good idea is to develop a set "wind down" routine for the last hour before bedtime, so your unconscious mind learns that it is time to put thinking aside, and prepare for mindfulness, (awareness, without cogitation/purposeful thought) or the EFT, in preparation for sleep, but the idea with mindfulness is to not even think about sleeping: just drift off, naturally, during exercising those techniques. http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris ~~~ No daytime napping for more than 20 mns (1, or 2): ALARM! Shower/splash cold water on face.

Insomnia is often caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs, caffeine, depression or sometimes for no apparent reason. Make sure your bedroom is quiet and dark. Soak a tablespoon of mint leaves in a cup of water for an hour, drink every night. Check out http://useinfo-insomnia.blogspot.com/ for more info
