Jiggypuff,
sorry to here about your problem, I am 31
yrs. Old and have had sleeping problems
since age 5. I went through various
medications and though they helped, I did
not like the way they made me feel.
It is difficult for me to keep regular
sleeping hours still but I did find out
something that helps me out a bit, its
actually something I borrowed from a work
habbit.
I noticed when I need to get things done I
go through a routine, I clear my desk,
turn off tv, throw on some music and bam,
im in the zone cranking out work on my
computer. So by accident, I realized that
I had started doing the same before bed
and it really helped out.
About a half hour before bed I will turn
the tv off, clean up a few things around
the house, I will light a scented candle
for a while, then sit in the dark and
focus on the candle for a few minutes. On
the few occasions where I did get to sleep
right after, the association began to
develop. So now I run the same routine
every night, and 80% of the time my brain
follows the routine with sleep, as it was
trained to do.
I guess its like any other habbit or
routine, its all about repition and
association, at least for me it was. It
felt like my brain just wanted to follow
what it was use to.
Just thought this bit of info might
help.
Good luck.
