Question 1

how do i sleep better at night? how can i sleep better at night? i already take sleeping pills nightly but they don't help. i have trouble falling asleep and then waking up dozens of times through out the night.

Accepted Answer

Not : Not sleeping well is a very frustrating condition.  You may have already tried not drinking caffeine after noon, not exercising too close to bedtime, and not using your computer or tv within an hour of bedtime. Consider adding "white noise" such as a fan. Be sure that your room is cool and not overly warm. Eating light during the day, then having a larger meal at around 7 pm or so can be helpful. If these don't work, you may want to see your doctor or even a sleep specialist to discuss your situation.

Trouble sleeping: Restless leg syndrome is a cause of sleeping problems and there are medications for this. A neurologist could evaluate and advise you.

: Your description is consistent with sciatica, and this may well respond to physical therapy.  See your doctor and uncover whether this is secondary to a herniated disc.  Stretching and exercise may help.  But first confirm pain generator.

Question 8

i sleep at night under the air conditioner. i sweat but not drenched in a pool of sweat in the morning. what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Get checked if cont: This can relate to many things from stress to medication reaction, gastrointestinal disturbance, infection, menopause or other hormonal change, or malignancy.  The best thing would be to get checked to make sure nothing serious.  If not, then look at your stress level and diet.

Question 9

taurine has shown to be energizing for me bc when i took it at night i couldn't sleep the whole night. if i take in afternoon will i sleep at night?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: That is an unusual response. Taurine is calming to most, in fact it is included in many natural sleep aids. If you take it in the afternoon any stimulating effect will likely dissipate by bedtime, but the only way you will know for sure is to try it. To be extra safe try it in the early afternoon.

Question 10
