Sleep Issues

Does anyone have any suggestions for sleeping? Sleeping pills don't help and I'm in constant pain. It hurts more to lay down and then I start worrying about everything under the sun, my mind starts spinning and before i know it the sun is coming up.

Thanks, I've tried both as well as warm baths etc. I'm just hopeless.

Re: Sleep Issues

prayer. When I have trouble sleeping I ask for help every time and without fail God has been there giving me heavy eyelids.

Re: Sleep Issues

I know a great "pill" prescribed to me by a doctor. It helped me a lot many years ago when I just couldn't fall asleep.

When in bed lie down on your back, place your hand over your tummy (just below the ribs). Inhale slowly through the nose, exhale slowly and hold your breath for few seconds (on exhale!!). The hand helps to make sure you breathe "in the stomach" not in the chest. Count: "one". Repeat.

It should be comfy, don't force yourself too much to hold the breath, on the other hand keep it long enough to notice. Your breathing should remain regular. Do until 50 or whatever count.

When I tried I could hardly recall the next day whether I was able to reach 20 or only 15!!
Let me know how this will go.
