Why can't I clear my mind at night when I am trying to go to bed??

I wake up during the middle of the night and try to fall right back asleep, but my mind just keeps racing with different thoughts. I don't have a good sleep unless I take Bendryl or Nyquil. Do I need to talk to a doctor about taking a sleep aid?Why can't I clear my mind at night when I am trying to go to bed??
just close your eyes eventually you'll fall a sleep Why can't I clear my mind at night when I am trying to go to bed??
Try to stop yourself from taking Benadryl or Nyquil because I feel that it makes it harder to fall asleep once your body is used to those kinds of meds and you stop using them. I have been having the same type of trouble and my doc prescribed something to help me sleep. I do not take it every night though because, like I mentioned, it makes it harder for me to fall asleep once I don't take the meds.








Make sure to have no caffeine or sweets before a certain time because that can interfer with your ability to sleep. Instead of tossing and turning try to pick up a book and read, sometimes that helps me. Good luck!



I'm not sure about the middle of the night, but when you go to bed you're slowing down and your mind starts to work even more, now that you have nothing to think about. You could try meditation or I always listen to music before I go to bed. It can be soothing music or I just listen to 98PXY and they play songs that are NOT soothing.


but you could always talk to your doctor.
I'm not sure how old you are, but it is a known fact that as we age we sleep less. Another thing that I think may be going on is that you have what's called a busy mind, always thinking about issues that are interrupting your sleep cycle. Have you ever tried melatonin? It's a natrual vitamin that has helped me sleep when I was having problems, also you can find it in target or wallgreens, etc. I wish you the best!
Do you watch tv before you sleep? If so, try to keep the tv watching to a minimum because it can affect the way you get to bed. Sometimes just meditating can help clear your mind, or even try reading a ';boring'; book. Another good way to clear your mind is to write your thoughts down before you go to bed. If none of these ideas work, then try talking to your doctor. Good Luck and hope this helps!
Well not being able to fall to sleep is because when ur lying down with nothing else to distract u every other thing comes into ur head its natural, but try meditation cds and calming fragrances or a nice aromaherapy bath
you are addicted to sleep meds.


why don't you watch tv until you get tired.
You may be lacking an adequate supply of whiskey in your diet.
