How to grow sleepy and fall asleep fast?
Q. I would like to know how to grow sleepy faster and to fall asleep faster. Any help?
Asked by MysticalMaddness - Fri Jun 11 01:51:31 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I've had insomnia problems a lot in the past and I've come up with a couple things that work pretty well for me. The first thing I usually try is to meditate. I just sit up and take a few deep breaths and try not to think about anything. This is usually a good solution for me if I can't sleep because I'm too anxious or hyper. Just sit, concentrate on your breathing, and any time you find your thoughts straying just try to bring it back. This usually only take me 5-10 minutes at which point I can just lay down and go to sleep. Reading a little bit in low light usually helps for me. Eventuall my eyes just get tired and I go to sleep. Relaxation techniques are another great way to get to sleep if you're not so great with clearing your mind… [cont.]

Why is it that I start to feel sleepy after drinking coffee?
Q. I'm on anti depressants but that doesn't put me to sleep. When I don't drink coffee, I'm fine all day. But when I start to drink coffee, then I start to get sleepy. This was even happening before I started my anti depressants. Would any body have any idea of whats going on?

A. I'm like that, too. I think it's more the fact you have something nice and warm in your belly. Also, as soon as I have a cup of coffee I need more and more to keep me going (yay addiction). If I start the day off with milk or juice I'm good to go. Caffeine doesn't make me jittery or alert, but I can definitely tell when I've had it.

What are the best ways to stop yourself feeling sleepy?
Q. I sleep 8 to 10 hours or more every night, and for whatever reason, I'm still sleepy and half-awake feeling all day every day. I already drink a lot of coffee and tea to try and stay awake, and sometimes take caffiene tablets, but it doesn't work wake me up any. It's pretty bad, sometimes I fall asleep randomly during the day too. So yeah, apart from caffiene, how else do people keep themselves awake?

A. Are you a dreamer? Meaning to you dream a lot? If so, then your body is under a great deal of stress while sleeping and dreaming. It's a sign of a very active, worrisome mind and it causes stress on your body because your mind is attempting to play out scenarios while you sleep in order to reach a conclusion or closure of an event. If you are not a dreamer you may need to go to your doctor because maybe your not reaching REM sleep and that is a sign of a problem for someone getting 8-10 hours of sleep.
