Question: What's the best way to cure insomnia during pregnancy? I’ve been suffering from insomnia during pregnancy for a couple months now and I want to know what the easiest way to cure insomnia during pregnancy is. I’ve taken those herbal remedies like Sleep-MD and they don’t seem to be much of a cure for insomnia. So what are my best options for curing insomnia during pregnancy?

Answer: Insomnia during pregnancy is usually caused by discomfort on the growing abdomen and stress from expecting a new baby. You can try several things from home to help you relax your body and mind like: taking a warm bath and lighting up some of your favorite scented candles, listen to relaxing music before bedtime, or even adjusting the room temperature to where you feel most comfortable. As far as removing the discomfort from the abdomen goes, I’d suggest going out and purchasing a pregnancy body pillow. It’s designed to curve with your body and give support so you should feel more comfortable and in return cure your pregnancy insomnia.

Question: How to cure Insomnia if sleeping pills don't work? But not using natural herbal remedies? What happens if ya have insomnia and you don't know what the cause is? If sleeping tablets don't work what would be next? Could anxiety or depression cause insomnia?

Question: How do you treat intractable insomnia as Michael Jackson seemed to have? Clearly, Michael was overmedicated and perhaps in mutual exhaustion his "physician" finally administered the propofol on top of everything else. My question is - what do real doctors do to treat someone whose insomnia is unresponsive to medications - is this such a rare circumstance that it's a rehab situation most of the time?

Answer: Clearly he had an addiction problem. Once you become that dependent on those types of medications, you need a much larger dose for them to become effective. I don't think this is as rare as people think it is. They would send him for a sleep study, find out what his brain is doing when he is trying to sleep, send him off to rehab as drug withdrawal is dangerous. Who knows if he had any other co-morbidity. Propofol is NEVER given to someone just because they cant sleep. That is just insane. As well as off label usage of medication, it is necessary in some aspects of medicine. Certainly not this particular drug!

Question: How can I easily get rid of Insomnia using household objects? I have insomnia. N doctor told me so, but I am smart enough to figure it out on my own. No matter how early I try to go to sleep, I never get to sleep before 2 AM. Need help. I don't want to go out of my way and it can't be too expensive.

Answer: to beat insomnia, try the following sleep aid tips * When you get up, try to keep a schedule like, eat, take medicine and go to bed, etc. * Try to establish a relaxing before-sleep ritual, like taking warm bath, having light snack or reading for 10 minutes. This can let your body become informed that it is already near bed time. * When sleepy try to go to bed, get out of bed when not sleeping. * Have a regular exercise, it is best to exercise in the late afternoon, about six hours before bedtime. * Around bedtime, try to avoid caffeine, alcohol and smoking. * Don't nap, naps are best taken in the mid-afternoon. But if insomnia persist, consult a doctor.

Question: How can I manage the insomnia associated with stopping Remeron? I stopped taking Remeron last Thursday (as directed by my psychiatrist), and have been experiencing moderate insomnia. Note that insomnia was never a problem before (on or off Remeron). I tried Valerian but it doesn't seem to hit the target and I feel wired. Does anyone have experience/suggestions that helped?

Answer: Alot of people that have used prescription medications such as this one have suffered this problem at one varied point or another in their life, some even more than others such as possibly your case. However, there are many that do not want to use addictive drugs and that is completely understandable, but I know how to treat insomnia, naturally. For a very economical price you can get a natural melatonin supplement from your local Wal-Mart in the vitamin section which helps your body to produce more natural Serotonin at bed time to enhance sleep. There are zero side effects, other than a good nights sleep, and it is non-habit forming. It is just a great vitamin supplement. Search the key word "Melatonin" on your Yahoo search engine to confirm what I'm telling you. It naturally provides me a great nights sleep every night after trying for years to sleep at night before I found this dietary supplement. I wake refreshed and full of energy as I am only promoting my body's own ability to sleep. The best brand comes in a purple bottle from the company "Natrol" and is labeled Melatonin 5mg (1 tablet at night). Again, it is non-narcotic as it is a natural supplement and is found in the vitamin and health section at your local Wal-Mart. It's the best kept secret for sleep I've ever experienced for a great nights sleep every night. By helping the body to produce more Serotonin, which is your body's "chill out" hormone, the Melatonin lowers stress, eases your mind, and thus promotes restful sleep.

Question: What is the best remedy for a chronic insomnia? I've been sleepless for 3 consecutive days. I tried melatonin from GNC but it just made me dizzy but not sleepy at all. I've been feeling backpain and dizziness due to sleeplessness. What are some practical solutions to my insomnia? I've been an insomniac since I was a teen. Pls. advise.

Answer: I've had insomnia since I was a teenager too. It's awful. My story is at http://www.fms-help.com/insomnia.htm. I am now 56. A list of things I've tried for sleep is at http://www.fms-help.com/sleep.htm. I hope you will find some help. My doc recently switched my meds around and I'm starting to sleep sounder, although not as long as other people. Check out my homepage too at http://www.fms-help.com. Chronic insomnia can wreck your health and immune system, so it's important to find a doc who will work with you on it to find a med that works for you, but doesn't give you too many bad side effects, like next day hangover. Of course, you could always try some OTC sleep meds first. If they work, you won't need to see doc for something stronger.

Question: Can you think of any songs about insomnia or simply not being able to sleep? I am trying to put together a mix CD about insomnia and/or not being able to sleep for my Mom, who is suffering from trauma induced insomnia. I am looking for pretty much any genre of music, although she's a baby boomer, so she's not much of a death metal gal, if you know what I mean. Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer: the song brainstew by greenday says "im having trouble trying to sleep"? haha but what about some songs to help her fall asleep? Maybe... lullabye by shawn mullins lullaby by jack johnson and matt costa..which is actually about trying to fall asleep.
