how to try for go to slep without pills?

[Yorisa_]

I am already very dependent on sleeping pills, because without it I always feel anxious and fear always comes, and the worst thoughts are always visible in front of my eyes.

Have you considered melatonin?

How to get it?

So many things on my mind right now. until I don't know what to finish, for to get good quality sleep

I couldn't sleep because my thoughts either. My mind is always overwhelming me. But, at least I could change a bit that problem at nights. I always play silly cartoons on my DVD player and I put on repeat mode.

I started to do that because when I heard the voices of the movie, I stop thinking all the night.

It is a distraction for my mind. I just listed the movie instead of thinking.

Then eventually I sleep.

I know that maybe is not a good method but it helps me.

Also, I started to drink teas before bed. I like chamomile and lavender tea before bed to relax.

From when did you do it all?Maybe someday i should try your way

[UkyoCoanccy in reply to Yorisa_]

I started doing it since 10 years ago. Even though I heard that keep the tv on at night does not let you rest properly, it is the only way I can stop my mind of thinking so much.

everyone always has a different way. keep your health

A hot shower a cup of tea an episode of Andy Griffith or something else you like or maybe a paragraph or a few pages to read then fall asleep. Or just give yourself permission to sleep and empty your brain of the toxins while you sleep. Or understand that walls are there for a reason. I don't know whats best for you a. I just care and want to help.

Thank you so much for helping me Gentlespirit. I've done everything, but I feel my body still needs a few pills. but I hold back from taking pills anymore

[Green-heart in reply to Gentlespirit]

I watch the “news”, that always puts me to sleep

[Yorisa_ in reply to Green-heart]

hahaha nonton beritanya bikin kamu ketiduran. itu satu-satunya hal yang belum saya coba pada diri saya sendiri.Ketika saya masih kecil, satu-satunya program TV yang membuat saya cepat tertidur adalah suara pendukung dan komentator dari siaran sepak bola di TV.

[Green-heart in reply to Yorisa_]

Google translate works wonders! 🤣 PBS NewsHour because I can’t stand commercials btw.

[Yorisa_ in reply to Green-heart]

because my english in not good, and im still learning

[Gentlespirit]

A good movie or some music. How about nothing just the sound of silence.

[Yorisa_ in reply to Gentlespirit]

I try to play the sound of the rain and listen to it while trying to clear my mind

[Green-heart]

I try to visualize myself in nature remembering fun places I have been.
