No one can operate at their most effective when they are sleep deprived. A good night’s sleep is vital for your body and mind to reenergize, repair and renovate. Short term lack of sleep can leave you lethargic and prone to stress. In the long term, sleep deprivation can increase your risk of stroke, cancer, high blood pressure, obesity, depression and a whole lot more. I’ve got here a whole list of things you can try when you struggle to get to sleep or sleep for long enough. You’ll find some of these suggestions contradictory so you have to experiment to see which works best for you.
Loubna If I struggle getting sleep, I imagine my perfect future life to be in a positif mind
Loubna I'm not struggling to sleep at the beginning but I want to avoid waking up in the middle of the night 😩 it's tiring...
Isabella @alka I have that problem too - lately it doesn't matter what time I get to sleep, I always wake at 7am even on weekends 😪 totally broken atm! And I have a cold atm too so it's a real struggle
GJP I'm hoping some of these will work for me. I've tried quite a few things but still struggle with getting to sleep on maybe 3-4 nights a week.
Jenn It used to be if I ever had a hard time, I would pop in my favorite Disney movie but I have outgrown that now!! :(
Neecey @Jenn, You're never too old for a Disney movie ^_^
Linda It's called " Your Present: a half hour of peace", by Susie Mantell. It's wonderful.
Linda Anxiety,stress and worry keep running through my mind, too. I use a delta sleep tape. Sounds like sounds from another world, but I never get to the end. There is also a great cd called your perfect half hour, I think. It's incredible.
Hiya I can only ever sleep if I cuddle with my BF
Dianna Good advise, thanks
alka Does anyone know why it takes me an hour or two to fall asleep? Even on days I feel tired
Meg-Tam When I was little, my Mom used to calmly sing "relax the toes, relax the feet, relax the legs" all the way up to my head and it used to frustrate me and now as a 19 year old, when I can't sleep, I hum the very same tune in my head... (:
Neecey @Meg-Tam 18, That's so cute and it will still be cute if you're doing it when you're 80!
