QUESTION: Hi Bonni, I'm 27. I have trouble sleeping almost every night. I'm
not worrying, anxious or depressed, but start to feel frustrated as I toss and turn trying to fall asleep. My doctor did
blood tests/physical and says there's nothing wrong. He wants to prescribe medication, what do you think? "Mary"
ANSWER: Mary, I usually say "try skills before pills". Sleep problems
can be from depression, worry, or physical but you say that's not the issue. Here's some ideas to try to improve
your sleep before you try pills. It’s
called “sleep hygiene”:
- Keep your room dark (no night light!)
- Remember your bed is for sleeping, it’s not an entertainment center.
Take the T.V. out of the bedroom – teach your body to sleep in bed.
- Don’t eat in bed.
- Thirty minutes before bedtime, prepare for sleep with dim lights and a non-stimulating
exercise (like a cross word puzzle or light reading).
- Please try to exercise, eat heavy foods or shower at least two hours before
bedtime.
- No alcohol before bed .. yes you may fall asleep, but it won't allow restful
sleep.
Hope this works! Let me know how it goes.
