Sleep deprivation can shorten your life span so I will die early.

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.

hindi ko rin ma intindhin kasi may week na nakakatulog naman ako mga 12, pero may worse times talaga na 3-4 na ako nakakatulog. i don't want it to reach the point where it can even get in the way of my functionality.

hah. di lang pala ako ang insomniac ah. this thread is now about zombies.

srsly though, di ko na ma take ang ganitong lifestyle.

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

hmm..just like any other drugs, the dosage will get higher as time goes by.
mahirap pag maging dependent ang katawan mo sa pills.
heath ledger labas natin dyan.

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.

true yung tipong kahit nonsense na bagay pumapasok sa isip mo na nagiging cause para di ka makatulog

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

Believe you me ( Maniwala ka sa akin), Pag hindi ako makatulog nagbabasa lang ako ng medical book. pero hindi tungkol sa insomia ang binabasa ko. Ang binabasa ko ay, kung bakit nabubulag ang mata ng hindi naman natutusok o ano pa mang dahilan. tapos dahan dahan ng nagdidilim ang paningin ko, hanggang magising nalang ako at late na yung 2 anak ko sa school.

yeah, proven for the milk. i remember in some time, when there is a time that i can't sleep, i usually drink at least 2 glasses of milk. yeah, it makes you sleepy. haha!

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.
