Insomnia

you are right..it is not easy to follow if you are clinically diagnosed with depression..when i treat clients with depression...steps like these are broken down into much more smaller and manageable chunks..and it may take awhile...usually for those diagnosed with depression, medications helps toward lifting that dark cloud before other forms of therapy can be take place...i guess my suggestions were meant for those with non-clinical or occasional insomnia..that's why i included the need to seek professional help if the insomnia is really bad...as it may indicate a more serious problem...

Harvard medical studies have concluded the lack of sleepless is due greatly too frustrated sex and relationships.

I wish I could take language And fold it like cool, moist rags.

I would lay words on your forehead. I would wrap words on your wrists.

"There, there," my words would say Or something better.

I would ask them to murmur, "Hush" and "Shh, shh, it's

Oh fireworks outside....so pretty!!!!

Try the trampolining first, then graduate to the more difficult remedies after a day or so :P

As helpful as these steps may be it's difficult to follow through with them when in depression.

Trampolining!!! my favourite one, how could I forget it??? :D

Hummers – Body Shop and Boots are probably the best bets for aromatherapy oils in Doha

trampolining

pillow fights

painting your toe nails

online with laptop

massage

etc etc

mmmm Lavender oil....talking about oil, where can I get good quality aromatherapy oil in Doha?

'Our freedom is but a light that breaks through from another world'

Reading

Eating/snacking

Playing (note - non necessarily sexual)

Talking on the phone

Working

Watching TV/movies

Thinking

etc. etc.

People read and watch TV in bed...get your mind out of the gutter :p

I don't need tip's in the bedroom, but thanks anyway...LOL

'Our freedom is but a light that breaks through from another world'

i am just wondering what else you can "reserve the bed" for, except of sleep and sex? for cooking?...

Hammers,really, try to "reserve your bed" first for Sex, and then - for Sleep...IT HELPS! Trust me!! LOL...

also as I know, a warm milk with honey make you asleep in 5 minutes..

But thanks God, I never had this problem.. just show me a pillow.. I slept in the airplain on my way home 8-9 hours in total.. could sleep more, but we finally landed...:(:(

I sleep better here than I do at home in UK! Could be our bed at home is well due to be replaced ... OR it's because I don't have a TV in the bedroom here.

In UK I go to bed and watch TV, I may drift off to sleep but of course the TV is still on, so I wake up and then get interested in what's on. Brain comes alive and I can't get back to sleep again.

Here I take a book to bed and, more often than not, fall asleep with it still open and my reading specs still on. :D

bajesus, 2 days of not sleeping is awful.....surprised you haven't collapsed. Maybe we should do laps down the corniche at 3am when no one is watching.

qatarisun...all I will say is, that isn't the problem...but thanks anyway....lol

Thanks Qatarina, I'll try some of these things, although I have tried most :(

Your body becomes immune to the pills after awhile and you end up having to take more and more, and eventually become a junkie; not a long term solution.

'Our freedom is but a light that breaks through from another world'

Once I tried, I started picturing these sheep jumping an obstacle one after the other while I was counting them … slowly … how boring it almost worked putting me to sleep. But then one of my sheep tripped over the obstacle and fell down and I almost died of laughing! Needless to say, that woke me up …

1)try sticking to a fixed bed time

2)reserve the bed only for sleep and sex...nothing else..

3)have a warm bath (i know this is probably almost entirely impossible or even crazy to do in qatar.. lol)

4)avoid a glass of milk...contrary to popular wisdom milk actually makes you more alert as the body starts winding up not down in order to digest milk protein..so you'll actually feel less sleepy..

5)establish a bedtime routine...same every time...like turning the lights down low or reading a book or engaging in some muscle relaxation exercise..after awhile this signals to the body that it is almost bedtime...

6)be active in the day...or partake in some form of exercise like walking...but avoid this a few hours before bed..physical activity releases endorphins and serotonin...feel good hormones that induce a pleasant state of being and induces sleep

7)avoid caffeine a few hours before bedtime...

8)go to sleep and wake up at the same time everyday...even on weekends..so your body sets it body clock straight

9)never go to bed angry...solve all your issues before going to bed..

10)make your bedroom pleasant and relaxing..

11) talk to a professional..being unable to fall asleep (insomnia) or hypersomnia (sleeping too much) can be an indication of more serious problems like depression or anxiety...

12) keep your bedroom uncluttered..

13) avoid eating a few hours before bedtime...

14)keep the bedroom cool..the body temperature reduces when we are ready for sleep..you can artificially induce this state by making the room cool..

if all else fails...start counting sheep....lol...

sleeping pills tend to exert the opposite effect after you've taken them for a while...so you're doing the right thing in avoiding them...as in the long run they make your insomnia worse...not better...

got only hours of sleep...im too exhausted trying to sleep..same thing, before i do take this pill..but i tried to avoid it..want to have a normal sleeping pattern..

but hey, i remember sleeping straight after a night swim..maybe you can try that..

Yeah people I have the same problem although for me it comes and goes and it’s not just in Qatar. Sleeping pills knock me out and I avoid them like pests, anything else?

I'm still up and I havent slept in two days! so if anyone does find the cure for insomnia please let me know! As for crows feet- Botox??

LOL,Crows Feet ???....

TAKE STEPS TO PREVENT CROW'S-FEET

Women dermatologists agree: If you never smoke, squint or tan your face, you'll get fewer crow's-feet. So the sooner you take steps to prevent crow's-feet, the younger the skin around your eyes will look. If the damage is already done, there are ways to minimize their appearance.

Here's what women doctors suggest for preventing crow's-feet in the first place--or preventing existing lines from getting worse.

Go glycolic. You can minimize the appearance of existing crow's-feet by moisturizing the area with an eye cream that contains glycolic acid--one of a group of alpha hydroxy acids--originally derived from sugarcane, says Dr. Weiss.

Glycolic acid encourages wrinkled cells to slough off and newer ones to emerge. The moisturizing agents in the cream will prevent any wrinkling from dryness.

Not many over-the-counter eye creams contain glycolic acid, says Dr. Weiss. One is Murasome Eye Complex 10 by Murad (developed by a dermatologist at the University of California, Los Angeles). To find a store near you that carries Murad products, call 1-800-33MURAD.

Whatever you do, never use higher strength skin lotions with glycolic acid (10 percent strength formulated for use on the face and neck) around your eyes without the supervision of a dermatologist. You could get a nasty burn. Around your eyes stick with 5 percent strength.

Turn back the sun. Since crow's-feet appear only after sunlight has begun to destroy the skin's elastin and collagen fibers over time, the best way to prevent crow's-feet is to use a sunscreen around the eyes, says Dr. Price.

Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen made especially for the eye area. Dot it gently around your eyes, including your upper and lower eyelids. Reapply every few hours. Dr. Price suggests using only fragrance-free sunscreens in the eye area, since some people might find fragrances irritating to delicate eye tissue.

Wear sunglasses and hats. In addition to applying sunscreen, wear dark sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats that shield as much of your eye area as possible, says Dr. Price.

Avoid smoke. Chalk up another reason for giving up cigarettes: Smoking, or spending a lot of time in a smoke-filled environment, makes you squint, so avoiding tobacco smoke helps prevent crow's-feet, adds Dr. Weiss.

I guess in men is eagles claws?? LOL
