Wink Help me sleep

Hi,
Sorry to hear you are not sleeping well. We need that.
I have never any of the things the other people suggested.
I stop eating 3-4 hours before bed time. It helps to have a little quiet time without the T. V., radio, and other noise. Sometimes a warm bath or shower before bed helps. It helps to sleep in a dark quiet room that not subject to noise in your home. I take my daily medicines that have warnings about making me drowsy before bed time instead of in the morning or during the day. I try not to drink alot of water before bed time. Drinking a little hot milk helps most of the time. It relaxes muscles. When I need more than that I take one Melatonin supplement a couple hours before bed time. Good luck and sweet dreams.
