I think that it is a sleeping disorder if we cannot calm our minds. All I do is worry if I am going to fall asleep before daylight!

Hey cherry,

did you try this?



With regular exercise your sleep quality is improved and the transition between the cycles and phases of sleep becomes smoother and more regular. Keeping up your physical activity during the day may also be help you deal with the stress and worry in your life. You should not be exercising three to four hours before bed. Try to increase your physical daily activity during the day. The ideal time for you to exercise is in the late afternoon or early evening. Attempt to exercise at least three to four times a week for a continuous period of 20 to 30 minutes. This can include something as simple as walking or something as strenuous as running. Adding a regular exercise activity to your daily schedule will improve your overall health and benefit you emotionally. Aerobic exercises seem to work best to battle sleep.



Take a deep breath.
Breathe in through your nose and visualize the air moving down to your stomach.
As you breathe in again silently count to four.
Purse your lips as you exhale slowly.
This time count silently to eight.
Repeat this process six to ten times.



The results of this breathing technique are immediate. You will feel your shoulders and arms relaxing. Your chest will feel less constricted and you will feel less stress and tension.

Marvin,
i think the advice that you gave to cherry is wonderful. Do you have any answers to my problem - which is worrying about falling to sleep. It sounds completely ridiculous - but is a really big problem with me. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello marionalma,

you might have narcolepsy or hypersomnia just guessing, you will get to know what it is your problem when you consult a sleep doctor. But I am posting some helpful self care tips for you.

Go to bed at a set time each night and get up at the same time each morning.

Try to exercise 20 to 30 minutes a day. Daily exercise often helps people sleep, although a workout soon before bedtime may interfere with sleep.

For maximum benefit, try to get your exercise about 4 to 5 hours before going to bed.

Avoid drinks that contain caffeine, which acts as a stimulant and keeps people awake. Sources of caffeine include chocolate, coffee, soft drinks, non-herbal teas, diet drugs, and some pain relievers. Smokers tend to sleep very lightly and often wake up in the early morning due to nicotine withdrawal. Alcohol robs people of deep sleep and rapid eye movement sleep(rem) sleep and keeps them in the lighter stages of sleep.

A warm bath, reading, or another relaxing routine can make it easier to fall sleep. Sleep until sunlight.

Maintain a comfortable temperature in the bedroom. Extreme temperatures may disrupt sleep or prevent you from falling asleep.
If you have trouble falling asleep night after night, or if you always feel tired the next day, then you may have a hypersomnia and should see a physician.

Good luck,

marvin.

Thanks marvin for your advice. I will have to see a sleep doctor b/c my concern is mainly worrying about worrying about falling asleep. This makes it very difficult to relax and fall asleep b/c I am so worried.
