Macmillan Holdings, LLC Combat insomnia with relaxation, mental voice tone, and visualization. Jill Productivity Relaxing body parts individually is a great idea, my yoga teacher always using this technique at the end of the session and many fall asleep. I think following certain routine helps as well, like having a bath and a warm drink, also try to avoid using TV or computer just before bed time, read a book instead. http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/overcoming-insomnia.aspx?commentid=17381#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/overcoming-insomnia.aspx?commentid=17381#Comments Sun, 07 Jun 2009 22:44:37 GMT WTL Productivity What works best for me is to just lie there and focus on my breathing and breathing deeper and slower, and in no time, I'm asleep. http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/overcoming-insomnia.aspx?commentid=13187#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/overcoming-insomnia.aspx?commentid=13187#Comments Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:33:21 GMT Angela Productivity uhh hey stever... a little help here? im not sure if i have insomnia or not but im more of a night person and i cant sleep..im the last person in my house to sleep which is around the time of 3-4 am. im in my teen years ...so is it normal? cause my friends are pretty much like me and they have the advantage to sleep early or late as they want but im so abnormal when it comes to sleeping.even warm milk won't do the trick! http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/overcoming-insomnia.aspx?commentid=13165#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/overcoming-insomnia.aspx?commentid=13165#Comments Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:11:26 GMT Carl Productivity I like the way David Allen described it: "Your brain is dumb. If you need to remember something, it'll do it at the most inopportune times - even when you're sleeping." So I enthusiastically support the concept that you need to get your worries out of your head. However, you need to do it in a place where you're guaranteed to see it when you need to. So sorry, I won't let you get away with "accidentally" burning the list with a blowtorch. If you don't seriously get it out of your brain, it'll still work on it while you're sleeping. I also find that prayers help to settle my mind and focus it on things more important than work and worries. http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/overcoming-insomnia.aspx?commentid=13138#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/overcoming-insomnia.aspx?commentid=13138#Comments Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:00:41 GMT Sun, 07 Jun 2009 22:44:37 GMT http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/overcoming-insomnia.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
