Can't sleep!

[AmyJayne8-19-95]

Past few days I can't sleep what so ever! It's like someone's given me a few packs of pro plus,my minds too active, I've tried everything to make myself tired but it won't work, I've got really bad acid reflux and heartburn at the minute too can anyone relate to this??xxx

My daughter used to have a heartburn now she's doing fine. I recommend you to go to the doctor so he/she can tell you what medicine you should take. My daughter went to the doctor and the doctor says that she has acid reflux. So she started to be active so then she told me that she's suffering a lot. I gave her tums then she had shortness of breath (I know I shouldn't have gave her tums without the doctor permission) but since she's suffering a lot (she can't sleep either). I gave her pepto bismo and she's doing alright. Ask your doctor before taking any medications. ~Tiffany

It really is a pain when you can't sleep I would try although you might have already done so having a routine. and no food or drink especially caffeine an hour before. it has also been suggested that using computers etc can stimulate the brain so not a good idea before going to bed. I find reading, baths with lavender putting lavender on my pillow help. Re the indigestion etc if it continues I would talk to your gp and see what they suggest. Al so keeping a food diary may help to identify food that sets this off/ makes it worse.

In addition to my post, I can suggest a technique that seriously works for me....if I put a hot water bottle (inside pillow case) under my neck, and think of nice things in life,a person, pet, then I can often relax and fall asleep =;0) Also again easier said than done, but when I've been able to swim or jog early in the day, i've soooooooo tired that I've fallen asleep straight away ;0p Do you have anyone close who you can speak to when you're anxious?Nice smiles in piccy!
