I’ve been there where I couldn’t sleep well for 2 weeks and was ready to murder someone because I felt so irritable.

This requires some changes to your diet, lifestyle and outlook on life. Nothing too major, but it can make you feel so much better and more energized.

DIET:
- Cut out sugar, alchohol and caffeine.
- Don’t eat for at least five hours before you go to sleep. Digesting food will wake you up because the liver does not function when you are asleep.
- Wean yourself off of the sleeping pills. They may be interfering with your natural sleep patterns. Besides, they never make you feel really rested, even after you take them.

LIFESTYLE:
- No more computer use for two hours before you go to sleep. The monitor light stimulates your brain.
- Get some moderate exercise each day, preferably in the morning or afternoon. If you exercise late at night, that may keep you up.
- Before going to sleep, mentally go through each part of your body (start from head, eyes, neck, ears, etc. to calf, foot, toes) and relax each body part.

OUTLOOK:
- When you start to think about things, imagine the thoughts are clouds that float away. I heard somewhere that we repeat 95% of the same thoughts today as we did yesterday. With all that repetition, there’s no need to rethink things.
- According to Louise Hay, insomnia’s psychological component is fear, guilt and not trusting the process of life. She recommends retraining your thought pattern with this mantra: “I lovingly release the day and slip into peaceful sleep, knowing tomorrow will take care of itself”. When you can’t sleep, have faith that everything will work out so you don’t need to worry about it.

OTHER STUFF THAT CAN HELP:
- As mentioned, Valerian root (available in capsules from the health food store) is known to help insomnia. It’s recommended to take 1-2 hours before you go to bed.
- Rescue Remedy is a homeopathic tincture that you can also get from the health food store or Whole Foods. Take as directed before you go to bed. Don’t consume mint (i.e., toothpaste) or food/drink within 15 minutes of taking it. Rescue Remedy does wonders at helping you to feel calm.

Good luck. I know how you feel and I hope you’ve reached the point where you’re ready to make positive changes in your life to make insomnia a thing of the past.
