So I know that getting a good night's rest is part of the weight loss journey, but it seems like I've developed a nasty case of insomnia. Its now 2:23 am here in Washington and I'm not even tired. This has been going on for about two months now. No matter how early I have to get up in the morning I can't seem to fall asleep before 3 or 4 am. And its seriously not fun having to wake up at 6 am to take people to the dentist's office or to get to class at 7 am.
The only thing not being able to fall asleep early is good for is when out partying I'm usually the last person to fall asleep so I doodle on the others that are knocked out
Usually I will try and get into bed at around ten or eleven and try for HOURS to fall asleep. I've tried reading to fall asleep; I've tried it completely silent and dark; I've tried with relaxing tapes and shows; I've tried spraying my pillow with lavendar spray that is made with essential oil; I've tried not eating or drinking anything right before bed; and I even tried the whole shutting my eyes and not thinking about anything...and the results just make me really frustrated and cranky the next day...I need some help y'all.
Except for sleeping pills, what helps you get to sleep at night?
