Help needed with sleeping.

**KDubs** · 01-28-2011 06:12 PM

I really need some help. I cannot sleep well at all. I feel this is bad for dreaming (if it doesnt matter let me know). I have a small bed and I sleep next to my girlfriend so there is less space for the both of us. Also we both move around in our sleep a lot. I cannot get comfortable anymore and especially last night I couldnt fall asleep when I was going to try the WBTB method.
The fact that I cant sleep and the fact that I have a very hard time recalling dreams is starting to stress me out and I know thats not good for sleep and dreaming in general.
If anyone has any tips for me on what to do or how to sleep better please dont hesitate to help...
(I've already tried sleeping somewhere else and that doesnt help either.)

Get more exercise and make sure you're actually tired when it's time for bed. Change your sleeping schedule and set up set times you go to sleep. And get a bigger bed!

Well you see I am very tired when I choose to go to bed..the thing is I cant fall asleep fast no matter how tired I am. I just lay there waiting for it to happen. I would get a bigger bed too but Im only 19 and very poor.

Work on meditation I would say. I sometimes will give myself anxiety by accident, or drink too much coffee, a bit of meditation before bed to clear your mind, or even while in it, really helps me.

I will give meditation a shot. Are there certain methods you use to meditate? Im not exactly sure what to do when it comes to meditation but its interested me.

Check out the guided meditation cd's from brain sync if you got no idea where to start. Angel voiced lady leads you into a garden of happiness basically. Theres 2 different types of meditation really, breathing focused mediation, and visual focused meditation. Im by no means good at it, still learning myself but, It is def a great way to calm yourself down, and really let your mind at ease. PM me if you want some material, can email you a bit of what I got, or show you where to get it.
