Re: i need sleep
Alcohol doesnt help at all when you are trying to get to sleep so thats out of the question regardless, have you got a sleep routine? as in do you do the same thing each night before you go to bed Dave? and do you go to bed around the same time each night?

A lot of guys on the board use melatnonin to help them get a good nights sleep, might be worth supplementing that

Re: i need sleep
This will sound very unorthodox but was suggested to me by a friend who has a child about the same age as mine, concerning trouble getting kid to sleep at night. Load up on candy ( chocolate ) you might get hyper for a little while but will soon crash, desperate ppl take desperate measures...

Re: i need sleep
May sound obvious, but when my hub or i can't sleep this usually helps.......

Before bed take a nice long relaxing bath, chill out read a mag, if you have a partner ask them to give you a back & neck rub, really relax you.

Then if you like listening to music put on a cd that you like and is relaxing to listen to and you never know you might drift off to sleep.......

Try and get into some sort of sleep routine it does help, even when you have grown up.................

works for us........

All the best hun.............

Keeping sane when you have children, what it is that, lost the plot 8 yrs ago when we had our first, lol.

But seriously, even as adults sleep routines are important, give it ago, see my earlier reply......

Re: i need sleep
Dave me and you are in the same industry and our work is quite stressfull and it is the built up adrenoline that is keeping you awake. dont know what your venue is like but mine are all full of absolute w@nkers and to relax on the way home listen to classic fm (mate i am only 24 and trust me it does relax you) and good old fashioned horlicks befor you go to bed. works a treat for me and been a DS for 2 1/2 years try it.

Re: i need sleep
Melatonin, decaf green tea and a small amount of carbs before going to bed should do the trick.

Re: i need sleep
I take some Nytol and it works like a charm. It's just an antihistamine, but it makes you drowsy and it really does put you to sleep. Best of all, you don't get a "sleep hangover" in the morning.

Re: i need sleep
I suffer with my sleep alot and ive tried many things over the years, nytol and calms work pretty well, melatonin helps keep you asleep.
Reading just before bet helps and you may also want to try some essential oils sprinkled on your pillow mint and lavender work best.
