Scrumpers diary the revenge !!!!

[alottolose]

extra thoughts.... ensure bed is comfy and bedroom is cool .... read that on a medical sight once.....

also lavender bath foams (warm bath a little before bed)...lavender on your pillow a few drops....

turkey, lettuce, oats....I think all these promote sleepy stuff...

always get up and go to bed at the same time +/- 1 hr ...

hth xxx

I heard that Johnsons baby bedtime bubble bath is great as it's packed with lavender and sleepy smells. Could try having a bath with that just before bed?

 

[alottolose]

yep or asda and tesco do an own brand (not value/smartprice) one... x

 

[scrumper]

lol i love you lot ..... no ive too much going on in my mind i think
Im going to sleep on the sofa tonight as i have a memory foam matress and i bought it aroung the same time as my breathing problems began just want to do and experiment to see if a few nights on the sofa make a difference

 

[alottolose]

it's mad - when I was suffering with the insomnia I always slept better on the sofa ....wonder if there's something in that....let us know how it goes hun xx

 

[alottolose]

also if you've a lot going on in your head...get it written down in a book...I think a lot of troubles stem from keeping it all "up there"....

I used journalling and mind mapping with good results xxx

I was a terrible insomniac, but then I got so desperate that I ended up buying a self-hypnosis mp3 from a website. Whilst I don't feel asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow (unlike my lucky husband), I find it much easier to get some sleep now.

The woman's voice is lovely and very relaxing to listen to.

 

[scrumper]

cheers all ...i think i may get a goods nights sleep when i do something i have to do, iykwim

 

[lajlaj]

Oh another insomniac here who sleeps better on the sofa than in bed (listening to hubby snoring!!). The only thing I've found that helps is to have caffeine free coke and coffee after 2pm and am now quite fanatical about it. I think I have tried absolutely every other suggestion and nothing works or helps me at all.

I was given industrial strength sleeping tablets in hospital as I hadn't slept in three nights and they couldn't stablise my heart beat (I get palpatations when exhausted) and even those didn't put me to sleep. I'm a nightmare when it comes to sleep.

 

[m-mouse]

Sleep tight tonight hon'

 

[scrumper]

Not to worry, sounds like you could have done much worse - toad in the hole would be hard to say no to at the best of times! Plenty of water and be good tomorrow!
