recommended sleeping pills???? help
ive been having trouble sleeping for months now and its driving me crazy ;(
it takes me hours to fall asleep and ive tried EVERYTHING.
sometimes i dont even fall asleep and just end up tossing and turning until the morning or just getting out of bed and read a book or something.
and even when i do fall asleep it's only for like 2 hours then i wake up and im just unable to go back to sleep again which is super frustrating because i feel so drained in the day and cant do anything properly and constantly feeling groggy and hangover.
ive been doing some research on various sleeping pills but some of them have some really extreme side effects which is v scary so im just curious what works for you???
could you recommend me some "safe" but effective sleeping pills??? im so desperate pls
Hi! @kawaiikittenprincess! I'm so sorry to hear that you've been having trouble sleeping lately--that's such a horrible thing to deal with and can get so frustrating! Sometimes sleeping pills are the right option for someone, especially someone with a problem like yours that seems to have been going on for a while, but that's something that it would be best to speak to a professional about, as no one on 7 Cups of Tea can recommend medication to you, even those who may be qualified in the real world to do so. I really hope that you are able to speak to a doctor though to explore the option of sleeping medication soon! In the meantime, here and here are a few links to a few articles with advice about falling and staying asleep and dealing with insomnia that might help make things a little more manageable until you're able to get in touch with a doctor.
I've had the same problems you had. I hope they are over soon for you. I take mellatonine tablets. They are a very light sleeping pills. But they work very well. Its is the stuff the body makes when it is about to go to sleep. It has no side effects because its so light. I am not sure if they have them in your country, whichever country it is. I am dutch and here they have. You dont need prescription or something for them.
A little-known fact about sleep hides in the daylight hours: if you accumulate a lot of stress, it is harder to unwind at night and harder to sleep. The key to sleep is always physical relaxation and emotional calmness. Learning how to relax is the key skill to learn, plus it's a natural solution and has zero side effects. Once you develop relaxation as a skill, you'll be calmer and you'll also have something that will serve you the rest of your life.

@kawaiikittenprincess I take melatonin before i go to bed. Melatonin is a natural, non-habit forming pill that leaves you feeling refreshed in the morning. I Highly suggest it!
