I have insomnia. What can I do to get sleepy?

[Hot legs]

I take the kind of medication that I can't add sleeping pills.

[Sketchy]

Smoke weed. It always puts me to sleep.

[Dazed&confussed]

i also have insomnia.
I like to play video games on my cell phone.
or even on the t.v.
also reading makes me sleepy.

Can you take Benadryl? That is what is in over the counter sleeping aids. I would check with your doctor before taking it though.

Try taking Melatonin, it is natural and it really works. Its not a sleeping pill.
Also eat some protein like turkey or chicken on a piece of bread maybe with a glass of milk.
The turkey or milk contain tryptophan which will make you sleepy.

have you tried a bedtime routine? (doing the same thing every night before bed)

i have problems winding down & now i do like 15 mins of stretches before bed...that really helps my physically de-stress & relax.

good luck :)
