Can't Clear My Head Enough to Sleep Posted: 05-02-05 15:32pm
Some nights it takes me forever to fall
asleep, simply because I can't clear my
head of whatever random thoughts are going
through it. I will lie there thinking
incessantly about all sorts of useless
things that are totally irrelavant at that
moment, knowing full well that it's
keeping me awake but not knowing how to
stop it.
Has anybody else dealt with this problem?
Does anybody have any suggestions on
solving it?

Yea that happens to me ill just lay there
and think of things that are just
completly random and ill try to close my
eyes and fall asleep but the more I try
just falling asleep the more I think so
then I end up watching t.V. And falling
asleep with it on and then get worse sleep
cause my t.V. Is on....
Yeah hey, I am a united states marine and
I have the same thing .. I just lay there
thinking of random things that wont let me
go to sleep .. My doc pretty much said it
was insomnia and that I should deal with
it because im sapose to be a tough marine
right.. Well not right. Sleep is what we
need to function so this is what I would
suggest to you. If you do drink alcoholic
beverages maybe try that . Or what I do I
drink a few before bed or a night cap.
And then I take tylenol pm before I go to
bed about an hour and I hit the hay..
Besides the sleep apnea I have and post
limb movembet disorder .Hopefully this
helps and im sorry if I didnt

I have had this problem in the past too.
I don't know whether you are interested in
alternative medicine but a good remedy for
this type of insomnia is passion
flower/passiflora. It is a hypnotic herb
and will gently lull you into sleep,
rather than knock you out like some
sleeping pills tend to do.
Go visit a herbalist or look in a natural
health store to get hold of a tincture of
passion flower.
