Or other relaxation cds? You could download them too. Is there any particular reason why you are finding this challenging? Have you considered camomile tea? Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curlew3 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Partly depends on what kind of insomnia: difficulty getting off to sleep? difficulty staying asleep? early morning waking? unrefreshing sleep? Having a very strict bedtime routine helps, nothing stimulating before bedtime, no tea or coffee within hours of bedtime, no TV or computer in your bedroom etc (referred to as 'sleep hygiene') Talking books are good for helping get off to sleep/ waking in the night. You can download them onto an MP3 player or get them on CDs. Libraries have lots of books on CD if you want to experiment. Very good for distracting your mind if it's busy and your thoughts are keeping you awake. If the problem persists in spite of self-help measures, suggest you see a doctor.

I listen to relaxation videos on YouTube, there are all different kinds, music, reading, nature sounds, meditation techniques...you can create a playlist, stick your headphones in and relax. One of my favourites is a lady reading a book in whispered russian, I can't understand a word she's saying but that's part of the charm, just her quiet voice and the sounds of the pages turning send me to sleep in no time!
