L-theanine with or without GABA. Should be widely available. Another thing is, if you find yourself at the computer late at night, is to install f.lux to ease you into pre-sleep mode.

Go to bed when you are tired.  This may sound like I am stating the obvious, but this is exactly what people do not do.  They have a designated time in their heads when they think they should be going to sleep, e.g. midnight.  I reckon this may not be so healthy as any disruption to typical sleep will create a sleep deficit that you need to be paying back at some point which may require adjusting the time you go to bed.

 

The feeling of tiredness is a bit like the feeling of needing a shit.  If you don't act on it the first time the feeling arises the feeling will go away and may not return for quite some time later.  If you try acting when that feeling has gone you will only feel aggravation.  I suspect that there is a good chance that you actual feel somewhat tired not long after your evening meal, say around 8pm.  That is around the time that people put their kids to bed but of course adults tend to have this silly idea that going to bed at that time is not for them, however tired they may feel.

 

Another idea that people have that is not necessarily helpful is the idea that you should be having all your sleep in one go.  There is no reason why you can't split it in two.  You may find that if you go to bed at 8pm, you wake up at around 11pm or midnight.  You can then do whatever it was you would have done if you weren't sleeping like watching those tv shows you recorded during your first sleep session.  You can then have the 2nd half of your sleep at 3am/4am.  People supposedly slept this way before we electrified our world.  Obviously they didn't have tv shows to watch then; they probably read books by candlelight, maybe did some stargazing. I suspect this is an instinctual thing for humans to do.  I suspect our ancient ancestors would make up at midnight and hunt by torchlight before going back to sleep.  I've been doing this myself lately (the two sleep sessions, not the hunting); not every day of the week... routine is over-rated in my opinion.  Just go to bed when you are tired, and get the hell out of bed if you feel wide awake!

Some things I learned about better sleep recently.

 

1. No exposure to devices 2 hours prior to bed.

2. Don't eat late, at least 4 hours prior to sleep.

3. Correct temperature - body needs be slightly cooler whilst sleeping

4. No caffine after 12 afternoon

5. This is the most important one. circadian rhythums. - to get this set right, you need to get into light within 30 mins of waking up ideally. This should be real sunlight if possible but otherwise artificial is ok too. This will get the circadian clocks set to the right body time! Edit: also dim the lights in the evening helps too.

I'd say you are being affected by EMF.

All of the above Mr H said but also unplug everything from the wall, not just switching equipment off.

It made a bit of difference for me as I was developing pain and as soon as I realised what was happening and unplugged ones near the bed, pain went.

If you have an EMF meter, check the level. You can buy one for around £180,

What I found interesting is that my walls were more radioactive than inside of my bedroom. I take it there are metal mesh in the wall which is reacting like an antenna.

I also suspect that our house and next doors are the ones who are kept up so no doubt they are taggering us.

 

Nano GO is everywhere now. In the air, on the ground and it's in us even if you are unvaxxed.

Just survive, best to your ability till your death. It's fucked.

You need to deal with what is causing you the stress and worry.

 

If you can stop yourself from stressing and worrying, then you'll sleep much easier.

Others have offered some reasonable advice here, but I have a few other insights. I have a feeling you aren't the first person in this forum to make a post about this, either that or I'm having deja vu.

 

If the insomnia lasts for hours, I have found it helpful to accept this, then get up and read for a bit. It is the resistance to the insomnia which is powering it, unfortunately. If you literally "give in" and say, "fuck it, I'm getting up", then go and read a book or something, then you should, after an hour or so of that, be able to go back to bed and sleep, but it has to be real acceptance, not fake.

 

Failing that there is various meditations, but you also need to find a way to get the feelings flowing. Blocked emotions cause insomnia. Write about your feelings in a journal. Feel, cry.

 

As a last resort, and this is for nights when I've had a really terrible nights sleep the night beforehand and none of the above have helped, I will occasionally take a strong anti-histamine called Promethazine, brand name 'Phenergan'. The doctor will probably agree to this. I generally hate the pharmaceutical so would only take this as a last resort, once in a blue moon. Even one tablet will leave you groggy as fuck the next day, especially if you ain't used to it. Don't take two or you'll still be sleeping three days later.

Very interesting and I think spot on. I remember when I used to suffer from anxiety, what I found after some investigation - was that it was my resistance to it that actually perpetuated it. Once I accepted it into my experience it kind of naturally dissipated. What you resist persists!

 

Enjoyed reading your other pointers too..

I've had good results using lavender essential oil in aromatherapy for insomnia. I place a diffuser on the nightstand and turn it on 30 minutes prior to going to bed. Other essential oils that claim to help induce sleep are chamomile, clary sage, ylang ylang, bergamot, sandalwood, valerian, and some companies offer blends (or you can make your own); but lavender works for me, so I haven't had to try anything else.

 

Learning to meditate taught me to empty my head of all thought and concentrate only on the breath, which comes in handy when you're trying to fall asleep. It's not always easy to quiet your mind from over analyzing and over thinking before you drift off and it requires practice.

Check your bed position as well Captain.

Energy tends to gather around the corner so if you have your bed and head in the corner like the bottom left hand corner in the image below, sleep like the upper right hand corner. When you think about it, hotels place a double bed right in the middle to encourage peaceful sleep.

If you light an incense, the smoke should rise sraight up and calm but if you get a spiral smokes it means there is much stuck energy that gives you sleepless night. Obviously, check to see if a corner is drafty or not.

 

Corners tend to collects dusts as well so you can imagine how energy might gather there.

Also corners give off harmful energy, it's all to do with geometry, angles and all that.

 

[DaleP]

Also....

If you print out this symbol (make it at least 10 cm) and stick it on the four corners of your bed, it would increate vibration of your sleeping area and you'd feel more comfortable and rested within 48 hours. This experiment will cost you virtually nothing so try it.

Been taking lions mane recently and it helps relieve tension - 2 others in my family have also been helped by the same as it has a calming affect and improved sleep with my mother!

I also take melatonin about 0.5g or less most nights and have done for around 20 years

 

Found this vid interesting.

Use red light, wherever you can. Stay away from blue or white light. Go to any amateur astronomy club to see why red light is so important for night vision etc. It's much better to put you into a sleepy state. https://www.nps.gov/articles/dark-adaptation-of-the-human-eye-and-the-value-of-red-flashlights.htm

And make sure the water is not fluoridated, if possible.

Around here, we take Black Elderberry Syrup. We get ours from Amazon, they deliver quickly and right to the door. We take it something like 30 minutes before our normal bedtime, and when we start to feel sleep coming on, to bed we go. It comes with a dose cup. We don't take a full dose cup full. A little dab according to directions works well for us. If we take, say, a dose cup full, we are sleepy all the next day. We've had neighbors ask about it, they take it now and are doing very well. Some of them have some really serious health issues which are magically getting better now. If we have an infection, during the day we take Black Seed oil for that and we also take vitamins as well.

 

That is what we do. A lot of people are experiencing gross stress now, with all it's complications.
