What advice can you give to someone who has trouble sleeping?

sleeping tablets, cut down on anything that contains caffeine, recite long surahs, you'll be alright, try to think about something else, it may be that you're awake longer because something is on your mind, divert your mind to something else if this is the case. Don't be sad.

I wouldnt go on sleeping tablets so fast dang.

Just try identify what keeps you awake first and then tackle it.

erm erm ermmm

set a alarm early in the mornin like 8/9 and wake up, then do your day to daay thins, and dont fall sleep, and then by the times its the evenin, you should be tireed, and you can tuck yourself in bed and have a good nights sleep and have a fun filled life

try not to think too much, seriously, ur probs awake/cant sleep coz ur putting strain on ur brain, stess related, or coz ur minds occupied with stuff that are happening. might be hard not to think about the things ur thinking about but clear ur mind from thoughts that make you think a way u could maybe do that is thru engaging in dhikr,reciting Qur'aan etc

what better way to lessen the strain u have on ur mind than to result in the purification and nuitrients for ur soul. remember Allah

sleeping probs may also be health related, maybe go see ur docter as well.

many times, like right now for example, i'm feeling tired and my eyes lids are feeling heavy and it happens so very often that i would lay down and my eyes are glued shut but i'm wide awake...i tried sleeping pills once, didn't really work until i took more then the amount recommended.

hhmm..

sleeping pills are nonsense that can have long term detrimental side affects which wont be detectable now but later it'll hurt ya when u could have easily prevented taking them

another thing you can help ur self sleep by is going for ghusl/bath, it usually does tire u out. if u can't have a bath now go and perform wudu, relax ur body this way so u feel like sleeping

umm maybe getting off the comp is also a good idea, make good use of ur time

Noo sleeping pills! Try warm milk before you sleep, avoid having naps during day time.

its been a long term problem. i've tried ghusl, wudhu, playing games (which actually keeps me awake for longer seeing as i get into it - not to mention i like strategic games - ), reading books, listening to talks, eating and drinking, contemplating, work...errmm i can't think of anything else at the mo.

nothing helps.......*sigh*

have u had any medical advice? maybe a good idea to go in for check up , coz it just aint normal. our bodies have been given to us as amanah from Allah, do itd our duty to take care of it. u've gotto keep trying nd get all the help u can get iA.

s *

see i'm sleep deprived atm

hmm....

i find it helpful to listen to lectures. in fact, sometimes it's so helpful that i never get to hear the lecture at all.

Asalmu Alaikum Brother,
For sleeping disorders my suggestion is take a cup of milk and when you lye down in your bed just watch your breathing in and out its a good practice for sleeping.May ALLAH help you out

Salaam

yeh milk's good, with honey! can't sleep without it also not sure bout what u may feel, but hot chocolate makes me sleepy try that also
