Does anyone have any home treatments/remedies for insomnia? For the past few weeks my sleeping problems have worsened. Now I never fall asleep before 6AM-7AM. On average I get 3-4 hours of sleep except on Saturdays. I am just so uptight and nervous lately that it's keeping me awake. It's also caused me to get a real bad cold. Anyone have anything that they use at home that helps?
Thanks!

Well, after going through cancer twice, I live with insomnia...in fact, I'm the CEO of The Insomnia Club. CEO=Can't Even Operate.......
But, being you are just a teen, I hesitate to give you any suggestions except turning off all electronics an hour before trying to go to sleep.....if you think you need a sleep aide, you might talk to your family doctor.....

I agree

I'm thinking about doing things like listen to calming music, reading, even writing to wind me down. This just has to stop. I also think some of it has to do with some serious fears I have of going to sleep.

Maybe you could ask your doctor about trying herbal tea, like Sleepy Time.
I don't know why you fear going to sleep, but I would mention that to my doctor as well.

Some nights are hard to fall alseep.
Sometimes reading helps make my eyes sleeply.

Sometimes if I'm having trouble sleeping, I turn on my TV or I pray.

Sorry to hear of you suffering from insomnia. I hope things get better for you. I don't know of anything that would help. Praying for you. If it doesn't go away soon, you may want to see your doctor.

I think I found a solution actually. I make myself some warm peppermint tea and I put honey in it to sweeten it. It makes me drowsy and tired in the evenings. It has helped me calm down too.
