My friend suffers from a bad case of Insomnia, are them some easy ways to help him get a good nights sleep?

There are a couple of things you can try. The first is don't go to bed until you are tired. Don't watch tv in bed and if you can't sleep get up until you feel sleepy. If you want to take something to sleep, you can try Melatonin. It's would be in the vitamin section. It's totally natural as your body already produces some of you own, but it will help you sleep and won't make you feel groggy as other things do, such as Benedryl.

A good thing to start out doing is to turn his clock so that it doesn't face him or take it out of his room entirely so that he doesn't frustrate himself because of the time. Tell him to try not to watch a lot of tv after 8, and not to watch any at all after 9:30 if he can help it. He should start getting ready for bed (brushing his teeth, putting on pajamas) at 9 so that he has time to wind down. Tell him to sit in bed and read before he turns the lights out because it'll give him time to think before he's trying to sleep, not right in the middle of it. If he wakes up in the middle of the night, he should sit in bed with a dull lamp on and read or do homework until he feels drowsy, and if the feeling never comes, he should get out of bed and start his day. Hope this helps! :)

There are several techniques you can try as well as some sleep aids. Melatonin is one "natural" sleep aid that you can buy at a drug store but I would not just take it without knowing if he is allergic to any medications or not or if he is on any other medications. Try the following websites and its links. It is very informative. Good luck!

think happy thoughts while trying to sleep and not let his mind wander.... big field of flowers, a real pretty girl, whatever he likes or is calming,, oh and if he takes some sleeping aid like may spell wrong but you can get it at any drug store dramamine its also in Tylenol pmm you can take up to 50 mgs. at a dose

Smoke Pot look up the benefits of Marijuana use for insomnia on Wikipedia, a certain chemical found in pot helps with insomnia greatly. Drink a Warm glass of Milk with honey milk and honey makes you feel full and sleepy Cough Syrup I dont do it but Ive heard people use it Take 4 nutmegs and grind into powder and take before bedtime, an old insomnia remedy
