I have no sleeping difficulties, however, I am facing one in recent two week whereby I am having troubles sleeping.

I tried all different kind of methods to fall asleep such as l
1. Listening to music - Barely works because I am not used to using this method to sleep
2. Medidate to "calm" myself - Not working, brain keeps thinking
3. Go out for a walk - Initially i did go out for walk, but then since i didnt sleep well for weeks, i scared i pengsan and tend not to do such vigrous activities because i do feel pain in my heart
4. Keep counting 0-100 inside my brain - Not working

What natural methods do you guys do to make yourself go to sleep? Mind to share sifus? I cannot always rely on sleeping meds to make myself asleep man!

essential oil.. lavender works for me.

also work, preferably physical work that tires me out.

Alcohol can ? Or haram ? Red wine helps for me or a little whiskey.

Massage

Continue your walking. Walk for one hour or so. If you are scared, just walk at a slower pace, but walk longer. Good workout and also will help you to build a stronger heart.

Nothing helps you to sleep like any forms of physical exercises.

And stop taking those caffeines after 3PM.

Perhaps you might need to take medication?

erm, not intending to troll, but I heard fapping can help...

Lie inside bath tub.

what changed in your life in the recent 2 weeks?

You might want to see a psychiatrist to see if you have anxiety disorder. You can Google more to see if you have such symptoms.

If you're muslim, try listen to surah you're familiar with at really low volume (still can hear but not really).

When you try to sleep, close all the source of light, even charger, extension. Then try all the methods.

For point 4, count 0-100 but no movement at all. Not even a slightest one. Not even a smile, or a hard on.



I did try some meds before, anti depressant (at low dose) but somehow my body get used to it and it didnt work at low dose already so I stopped taking. And that gummies thing didnt help much.

I think it might be related to stress. Have you seen a psychiatrist?

I have the same issue as u and it could be anxiety. do ur hand feeling numb after 9pm or 10pm? or u got the feeling of dead if u fall to sleep? if yes then definitely is anxiety

Did you check your heart beat rate? If heart beat higher than usual during your sleeping time mean either too stress or sick.

TS im guessing your not regulary exercising.
short term, sleep medication.
long term, exercise more with healthy diet would be better.

if scared of incident during exercise go out with a group of friends for safety.

do not exercise late at night

Foot massage helps in my case

With essential oil

Many do not notice is that maybe is your mattress. You might try with other mattress and see did you fall asleep easier

try take more deep breaths

u like fans? aircond + fans

Melatonin supplement.

Oh yaya heard a lot about origin mattress, they been featured on the news in The Star and Malaysiakini. Also many other popular recommended site like Trusted Malaysia, Techrakyat

What is the price range like?

yogurt or milk small portion

Main issue with sleeping is gut health.
90% of serotonin is from EDC cells from the gut, which is then converted to melatonin, the sleep hormon.

You have gut issue, you will reduce your sleep hormon level.

If you have alllergy, food intolerance or immune issue, this will add up to your sleep problem.

Allergy and food intolerance. will increase your sleep problem because histamine is a potent sleep inhibitor. So as with stress hormon (cortisol).

You need to solve the root of your sleep problem first. Then only take all the supps.. melatonin, magnesium, GABA etc2.

Dont bother medication. Its short term okay, long term KO.
Most if not all sleep medication causes dependancy. Nanti jadi drug addict lo.

You are right but please, be careful with your statement. Sleep medication, when taken along with psychological/psychiatric therapy, does NOT cause dependancy.

Not all patients took sleeping pill with antipsychotic ya. I talk based on my experience. Dependancy to sleeping pill is so rampat even in the old days. Im not talking about hospital setting only. Need to see the whole picture.

Thanks for the heads up though i am carefull with my statement hence i give some room for doubt since i dont know all of the new generation sleeping pills. 😊

I'm so sorry about your experience.

But yeah, sleeping pills should be prescribed by a psychiatrist only, someone that really is able to see the whole situation according to each patient.

I can tell you, also by my own experience, that I had to take sleeping pills (with other anti-depressant and anxiety pills), and thankfully I did not developed any dependancy, but that was because I also had psychotherapy altogether.

I hope you're doing well now.

It a modern problem lah i believe even doctor themselves due to oncall work.

i found just let it be work the best i actually sleep better when i stop caring 'how many hours i slept' 'i need to sleep 8 hours'

pills short term fix only
exercise help somehow because u got exhausted

I had sleep disorder for few years due to almost 1 decade of night shift job. I have much better sleep quality now after drinking a glass or 2 of Chamomile flower tea before bed. It does help a lot. U can google for scientific research papers about the effect of Chamomile flower tea. U can buy from Lazada/Shopee.

try drinking chamomile tea before sleep
