Yeah, I've used melatonin in the past...I really liked it, I feel like it helps me sleep deeper and not get woken up as much, but I feel like if I use it too often it becomes less effective. Anyone else have this experience?

After the second time using melatonin it didn't seem to work. Maybe I was just being that stubborn. At that time nothing could put me to sleep.

A good idea would be to figure out what is keeping you awake. Envrionmental, Emotional, Phsycial, etc. Then try and fix that. The ideas listed so far are great for calming down and relaxing.

I have to agree with Nori on finding out what is causing you to be awake. Are society is so focused on everyone rushing to do the next thing that it's hard to think let alone sleep properly. Which should be roughly around 7 hrs.

I've found for me that if I'm having a really hard time sleeping to soak in a hot water bath for a half hour or so. It relaxes the musles and I do some stretches afterwards. While soaking drink Extra extra Sleepy Time tea smile

I'm having trouble sleeping at the moment, but I know exactly why! I'm tossing and turning all night fretting about all the uni work I have to do! Well, that and a few other things I have going on...I finished one assignment at 2.30 this morning though, so I'm on the home stretch!

2:30am! Golly!
I hope you got it all done - including some sleep.

I've just taken another melatonin tablet (I think this is the third one I have taken in as many weeks). I don't think I can tell the difference between taking it or not. I know when I'm ill and take Panadine (which has codine and paracetamol) I sleep like a log - but then am SO tired the next day...like I didn't sleep at all. I didn't sleep too well last night - a little worried about $$$. I just purchased a rental property (yesterday!) so money is going to be a little tight over christmas. I'll be find in 6 months, but it hurts at the moment as there are always extra taxes/costs in the transfer of the deed.
*must think long term*

....so, looks like no more shopping sprees for a LONG time.
