- Difficulty falling asleep; tossing and turning; over-busy mind full of "chatter" and anxious thoughts
- Waking through the night
- Waking up too early in the morning; unable to fall back to sleep
- Tired throughout the day
- Incapacity to cope with every day tasks
- Difficulty concentrating
| - Try going to sleep at the same time every night
- Definitely go to sleep before midnight
- Try taking cat-naps during the day; even a 15-minute light doze can rejuvenate you
- Drink a glass of warm milk or herbal tea before going to bed ... there is now incontrovertible evidence that warm milk increases production of seratonin, the brain's feel-good chemical, making it easier for you to calm down
- Take a hot bath before going to sleep
- Keep a constant temperature in the room where you sleep and if possible leave a window open to admit fresh air
- Go for an evening walk
- Eat your evening meal at least two hours before you go to bed
- When you can't sleep ... do something constructive: read a book, listen to the radio, write in your journal
- Listen to relaxing Alphamusic while you lie in bed (use headphones if necessary).
