How to fall asleep??

Question

I think I have insomnia. Idk. Ever since my dad died, I fall asleep at 4-5AM, sometimes later. Sometimes I can’t sleep at all until the next night. 
Anyone else struggle with this? How do you fall asleep? I’m currently TTC and this can’t be good for that.

Answer

There are a few things that could help you with this. 
• Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning. 
• No phones, TV or other screen at least 30 minutes before you go to bed (preferably an hour before bed). Just read a book, meditate, do some stretching etc. 
• Have a warm shower or a nice warm bath within an hour before you go to bed. 
• Sprinkle a few drops of lavender oil on your pillow. 
• Wear an eye mask. 
• Either wear ear plugs to block out any noise OR download the Relax Melodies app to help get you off to sleep. You can listen to a sleep meditation and have soothing sounds to help you nod off. 
• Focus on your breathing while you’re laying in bed. As you breathe in, think about inhaling happiness and serenity. As you breathe out, think about exhaling your worries and your energy. 
I’ve had terrible insomnia in the past and these things really helped me. Good luck. I hope you get to sleep well soon. X

It’s not for everyone, but try watching ASMR videos on YouTube. They’re very relaxing and help with anxiety as well. There are many categories; some have whispering, others have no talking at all. I think with all the ASMR content on YouTube you’re bound to find something that works for you. I usually fall asleep within 10 minutes of starting a video. Headphones are a must.

O yes I am sorry about your dad. I am divorced about 2,years now but I don't think that's the issue I think its a thing for me regardless

Same issue. 3:06 am not sleep. It's awful I take a benadryl basically every night to sleep along with 🍸. Tonight I experimented and tried to sleep on my own accord and here I am😌. I run a business I have to get some sleep! So guess what I just did..... 💊 🍸😏

Answer

Im sorry to hear about your dad. I’d go to your doctor and get your sleep patterns under control before TTC. Sounds like you may need to talk to someone about your fathers death and possibly some meds at least to help with sleep. Good luck!
