I've been having the hardest time sleeping lately because I can't get myself to stop thinking and worrying. Sometimes I want to start screaming so I can drown out all the negative thoughts in my head. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have any tips on how to shut my brain off so I can sleep?

I have this problem some days, the trick is music, it can help more than anything I can find.

I have this all the time

I usually just stay up till I'm so tired I fall asleep crying and think to much, but if I need to get sleep I take over the counter sleeping meds

Get something with L-tryptophan

I would use music but then I have a hard time sleeping because of the sound. I usually like complete silence when I sleep.

I take Melatonin every night and it helped for awhile but sometimes it's not enough, what do you use?

[Antheia]

Melatonin doesnt do anything for me either

there is liquid and pill sleep things the pills i use i cant remember the name
it comes in a small box and it say go to sleep early wake up refreshed or something like that that same kind has a liquid form but i havnt tried it

what also works for me is dream water its like 2 or 3 bucks a bottle though and supposedly you should drink the whole thing but for me it take 3 or 4 sips and im out

all of these i have only found at wallgreens so sorry bout that you might be able to get em online

I don't trust the use of meds, they change us, they aren't my cup of tea, I have been meditating for months though, and that can relax you, and almost leave you in a state of euphoria.

Showers help too!

For trying to sleep, I play calming music and read a little bit. I oftentimes have 50000 things going on in my head when I really just need to sleep. Also, try to get off the internet an hour before you go to bed and do something else- it just keeps you awake. I don't trust sleeping meds much, but they can help.

Thanks everyone. Showers wake me up and music wakes me up though :p Maybe I just need to find the right kind of music.
