Anyway to get rid of Insomnia?

[Danher525]

I have nightmares every night and wake up go back to sleep and then can't go back to sleep and I looked on the internet, but not a lot of help I've tried yoga, thinking happy thoughts, and a few others but no luck. Do any of you have any suggestions?

There is no way to "get rid" of insomnia since it is a genetic thing, however there are ways to curb it to where you do feel like it is gone.

1.) Keep yourself busy during the day ( Dont take naps) and stay active.
2.) Give yourself a time every night in which you are to be in bed. This includes putting away all white light emitting devices (i. e cellphones, laptops, television)
The reason for this is because white light can trick your brain and make you think its still daytime, therefore making you feel not sleepy.
3.) About an hour or two before bedtime, do activities to help you relax, such as taking a hot shower, reading, or doing your yoga. This will bring your body to a calm state, making it easier to fall asleep.
4.(Note: this is only as a last resort) Take a little bit of sleep medicine

Insomnia, although it takes some practice, can be basically conquered by a little bit of routine. My Dad has insomnia (I actually have a little myself) and I've seen some of these methods actually work for the both of us. It would also help to take to your doctor so they can give you some more tips and advice.
