I ran into a new term, today, regarding the sometimes difficult process of restfully sleeping, called 'Sleep Hygiene'. "Falling asleep may seem like an impossible dream when you’re awake at 3 a.m., but good sleep is more under your control than you might think. Following healthy sleep habits can make the difference between restlessness and restful slumber. Researchers have identified a variety of practices and habits—known as “sleep hygiene"—that can help anyone maximize the hours they spend sleeping, even those whose sleep is affected by insomnia, jet lag, or shift work. Sleep hygiene may sound unimaginative, but it just may be the best way to get the sleep you need in this 24/7 age. Here are some simple tips for making the sleep of your dreams a nightly reality:" Read more here... |

A bar of soap under your pillow may help, grab the antibacterial kind for truly blissful slumber. I bought some phenibut a while ago; dosing 250mg a couple hours before bed makes for a great sleep. Using it more than once or twice a week will cause tolerance and I've read withdrawals from chronic (ie daily) use will mess you up, though I doubt anyone here would be silly enough to go abusing the stuff. Phenibut is great if used as intended. It doesn't give me a 'hangover' like valerian tea does, nor is it befogging like alcohol. Have you tried ashwaganda? I usually take it in the morning so I can't vouch for it as a sleeping aid, but it sure is relaxing. It may be of some utility. |

Never heard of any of these things, and I'm allergic to soap, but thanks for the suggestions, Water. It occurs to me that one of life's great treasures, and one most likely to go completely unappreciated, is a good night's sleep. I slept, last night, soundly, for almost all of it, and what a difference it makes this-morning. |

I have just had the worst weeks sleep I can remember. I had 3 nights in a row of 7 hours before this week and boasted about it. Did not sleep at all that night then 2-3 hours for the next 2 and back up to the dizzy heights of 4-5 hours to round off the week from hell! Edited by crow, Nov 18 2017, 07:31 PM.
