do any of you have trouble falling asleep? I usually don't fall asleep until around 3 in the morning and my kids wake me up at 7. So every night I only get like 4 hours of sleep. When i get in bed i just lay there. I cant just close my eyes and fall asleep. It sound weird and is hard to explain, but i cant just close my eyes and fall asleep. My eyes have to close on their own. If i close them myself it seems like my body wakes up even more. I just lay there and think about random things until my eyes close. And once I fall asleep i toss and turn and wake up multiple times a night. I am so exhausted all day but i still have to get things done and play with my kids and it kills me. I have tried taking sleeping pills but they don't work.

I hear ya. Im in the same boat. Try some hot tea and a nice hot shower or bath. Something relaxing and maybe read a book. Im trying different stuff too. I have bad allergies and sinuses, so i have been taking benedryl at night and it kinda helps. GL

Veni and shini,

Start taking a good brand Green Tea after dinner. Take a hot shower, clean you feet and hands nicely and apply some good night cream. Keep the surrounding in bedroom neat and clean. If AC is not on, better some fresh air is always coming in. And during the day, do some meditation, all this will surely help. Let me know.
