Sleep deprivation!

Does anyone else suffer? I'm managing about 2/3 hours a night lately. Dad & big bro both are insomniacs so may have a bit of that but I spend so much time trying to get comfy that by the time I get comfy it's time to get up

get some peppermint tea or other teas that relaxs you

Aw Hayley   Melatonin is also great for helping you to relax and nod off

Wine!! 

Right so today's shopping list is wine and peppermint tea, thanks guys xx

I get it through shifts normally have 4 days to adjust between nights and back to earlies but got overtime 12 hrs tonight will get home about 5-6am then back on shift 7am Sunday and got the same again next rest days

I had a really bad period of not sleeping for about 2 years, I'm usually OK now but I have really stick to a routine, no caffine in the evenings, go to bed and get up at similar times every day, if it differs too much it upsets my pattern. When I get in bed I have to really make myself switch off and keep my mind clear or it runs riot otherwise!! I have some mindfulness and relaxation exercises that I use sometimes!

Mint tea or camomile definitely helps before bed, holland and barratt do a bedtime tea!

I notice melatonin is mentioned above, I've not tried it but I got some for Daisy last year as recommended by the vet and it does say it can be used as a sleep aid. I bought tablets off Ebay.

Melatonin is great, and natural. When I used to instruct gym it would mean training into the evening and then being too hyped up to sleep. It relaxes the body and mind for a really peaceful sleep.

No I think I'd die without sleep, I have always been one to need alot of sleep to function properly, otherwise I'm a nasty cowbag. I also sleep better during the day as my body clock has always been broke

Here is an article that may help http://www.sleepfoundation.org/article/ask-the-expert/sleep-hygiene and http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Insomnia/Pages/Treatment.aspx  

Plenty of exercise works for me every time.

Sleep deprivation comes natural with me while am at uni, I find herbal tea's work a treat, and as wino ino says, vino goes does a treat!
