Calmes Forte works for me provided I am already tired. I hate coffee, never drink it. I've considered taking up green tea if it would have health benefits for me, I forgot to ask my ND about that. I think the L theanine in it is supposed to help people deal with stress. I don't usually drink alcohol but I have noticed that it interferes with sleep. Actually my nutitional habits are impecable. I just can't seem to shut off my hyperactive brain. I also get itchy when I try to relax.
As far as exercise goes, I weight train 3X a week. All I do for cardio is brisk walking on my off days, but I am active, so I don't think that is it.
My husband doesn't snore, but his breathing can drive me insane at times. We now use a fan for white noise and have a baby monitor to hear kids if they wake up. The fan is starting to make an annoying rattling noise though.
Maybe I will try turning the clock away from me, then I can't watch it either. We have large windows in our room and all our neighbors across the street keep their outdoor lights on all night long. I suppose a pellet gun could solve this problem
. Another answer might be wearing night shades, but I wouldn't know where to look for those.
I love to sleep in, the problem is that it keeps setting the time I can get to sleep at night later and later. My body just does not want to even approach 8 hours of sleep. The sun is up by 5:30 and my husband soon after that which often wakes me up and it takes awhile to get back to sleep. This is why I would like to be able to fall asleep around 10, I figure it gives me a better shot at more hours of sleep.
