how active are you? maybe you need to make yourself more tired?


Try warm milk, I have horlicks sometimes.



.... I have experienced what you spoke of before... and I took it as a sign from Allaah that he doesnt want me to sleep so I got up and done what I thought I should. Then He granted me sleep when he willed.

Sleep is a gift from Allaah, dont forget that. Recite dua's too

Lol I teach 3 yr Olds I get really tired Wen I come home n I don't sleep so tht I cn sleep at nite .

Hmm warm milk will try tht

I do pray tahajjud sometimes Buh wht do u do Wen u wake up 2 or 3 times ? M just tired all the time just cuz I can't sleep properly

This mite sound crazy Buh I guess m scared of sleeping :p I Duno

N ur rite it is a gift from Allah n Alhumdulilah I do recite my morning n evening duas.
 
the most ive woken up is twice during a night.

you said you dont sleep till night. I think you have a lot of fervor inside you at the moment.


Those close to Allah sometimes burn with so much passion inside that sleep at night becomes difficult, Allah wants them to worship.

Perhaps this is your time to worship much. Do you perform Qaylulah (i hope i spelt that correctly) which is sleeping mid morning or a power nap?
 
I had same some years ago - I was awake a week with no sleep but was terrible tired. After week I started to hear voices and see things which weren´t real. After that I went to hospital and got medicine what really put me sleep (diapam).

:exhausted

Now I try to walk outside every day, make work what makes me tired and drink herb tea at evening.

No no i dont want to eat medicines :heated:
 
Me too don´t want to eat medicine; thats why I try to take fresh air and walking every day.

Chemical sleeping is not similar than natural.
 
Assalamu-alaikum ukthi,

The best advice that I can give you is: do not think/ worry too much about it.

The reason for this is that your sub-conscious mind starts to associate sleeping with a period of anxiety -- which results in you not being able to mentally relax at bed-time --> which results in even worse insomnia.
This can become a vicious cycle (which is why long-standing insomnia can be so difficult to treat).

Its amazing how powerful one's sub-conscious mind can be.

This is also the reason why sleeping pills are not a good idea: the mind associates the ability to sleep with a pill (i.e no pill means no sleep).
(Sleeping pills are only advisable for very short periods: e.g. insomnia in hospital/ during a long flight, etc).

Ukthi, just relax when bed-time is approaching.
- Switch off your TV (better still, get rid of it completely : ) ), laptops, etc and engage in zikr/ reciting quraan.
- Avoid caffeinated drinks in the eveings.
- And dont even THINK about the problems you had experienced in the previous nights.

Tell yourself that sleep is a natural process......and that you are about to enjoy a good nights rest, as a baby would : )

And if you do happen to wake up at night, dont stress about it - just relax, and let yourself drift into slumber again.

Ps. If you happen to be awake in the early hours of the morning, it would be a good idea to awaken and read tahajjud salaah.
Insha Allah, this may develop into a habit for you.....in which case, this may be a blessing in disguise : )

You're thinking too much and your heart is restless. Do the things that need to be done and seek the thing that which will remove the restlessness in your heart.
 
Had a bad nite :( couldn't sleep at all kept waking up after almost every hour I remember the timings too :s even though I recited all the duas. plz pray for me lots .

Mayb I am thinking too much I Duno feel so sick rite now I should hav stayed home :s
 
Guess I will. I how I sleep Wen I go home I Srsly need to. Remember me in ur duas jazakAllah everyone
 
Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi Sis,


I think Sis Zaria gave great advice masha Allah. The only other thing I can suggest is drinking enough water (you know what they say "deemagh mein khushki ho gai hai isi liye neend nahi aati!". Also ask someone to massage oil into your head. A dehydrated brain can prevent sleep. And if you eat too many sugary foods and simple carbohydrates then cut down on them. Bad, bad stuff. Limit tea to just one cup a day. Caffeine is bad for your adrenal glands.

Those measures will help insha Allah, but you can further calm your mind with voluntary nawafils such as Ishraq, Chast, Awabeen and keep repentance on your tongue as if your life depends on it (well it does in the religious sense). Repentance brings instant peace to the heart and mind.

Another thing you can try and this has been known to help in most cases of insomnia, is to try not to sleep for one night. keep yourself awake. Do some extra ibadah. Spend some time here and have a cup of tea if you must, but do not sleep - even during the day. By the time night rolls round again you'll be so sleep deprived you should be able to sleep insha Allah. : )
 
jazakillah khayrun sis someone has told me to recite ayat ul kursi n the last two surahs of the quran before gng to sleep n inshaAllah will try these things out.

n alhumdulillah i dont drink tea much n dont watch tv i guess bro abd al latif is rite mayb i hav alot on my mind i just need to relax.
 
Try to drink herb tea at evening. Some herbs are relaxing like chamomile, mints, thyme. And don´t use sugar but honey. If you can get them fresh thats better than dried.

I grew before chamomile in garden and when put half deciliter of flowers to one cup of hot water (yes it is a lot for using as tea) I really tumbled to bed and sleep. If you have only dried, use at least 5 tea bags to one cup.

But don´t use same herbs too many days - they too have medical effects.

Do you exercise sis? I know teaching 3 yrs olds is strenuous enough, but it doesn't have the benefits of exercise that gets the heart racing and feel good hormones being pumped out. And yes try to relax. Treat yourself. Go somewhere nice with family/friends so that you can unwind. May Allah bless you with peaceful sleep insha Allah. Ameen!!
 
i slept!!! for 49 mins :p buh alhumdulillah i did :)

aww sleep surely is a blessing srsly

ameen to the dua sis :) jazakillah
