Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi Carol I too have bouts of sleeplessness where I cannot turn off the brain. My remedy is to listen to talk radio. I have a little ear piece that plugs into my alarm radio and I just hit that sleep button and the radio comes on for 1 hour. Sometimes there is something interesting to listen to and other times not but it usually distracts me from the hideous thoughts that plague me in the still of the night and I am able to drift off. Somehow the quiet and darkness seem to magnify ones problems to the point of near panic at times. The radio helps to distract from that. & mom ginny 84 **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 You can also try 'Bach Flower Remedy--White Chestnut' its a liquid and you take a few drops under the tongue (or in a little water if you absolutely can't deal with the alcohol taste) right before bed. I used to have the racing mind/worrying thing at bedtime a lot and that helped me. You can get it at many health food stores or probably order it online. Now I can get to sleep but I just can't usually stay there!!! ;-) Emma > > Hi Carol > I too have bouts of sleeplessness where I cannot turn off the brain. My > remedy is to listen to talk radio.
