I have a big day tomorrow, and can't seem to get to sleep. Do you all have any tips?

    Awwww. That's the worst. I use melatonin to sleep during the day. I'm sure that doesn't help you right,now. Good luck :-(

    Benidryl, I will take 1 pill if I'm really tired but ill take 2 if I'm totally wired and just can't sleep! If your a coffee or any kind of caffeine drink I would try not drinking a few hours before bed also try not to workout before bed too that sometimes wires me more then coffee or pop does! Best of luck Doll!

    Midnight pills, hot bath, hot whole milk, Pandora classical stations or old reruns (Golden Girls, for example), and even candles. XD

    Listening to Dr. Jeffrey Thompson's music helps me get to sleep. I'd recommend popping his name in to Pandora, since his cds can be a little expensive.

    Oh boy little sister your screwed then:-( if benidryl knocks you out only take a half pill, it also depending on the time for me also it will knocks me out . I recommend you not taking melatonin, that will kick your azz, it knock me the hell out big time, then when I wake up it feels like I've been out drinking all night hang over feel, my husband is 6'5" 270lbs. he taes Melatonin and it knocks him out, hes extra groggy when he wakes up! Best wishes Doll!

    I read this tip somewhere and it works so well for me. Tense your whole body up and count to 10. Then slowly relax your muscles starting at your toes, going slowly up to your head. I'm not sure why but this really works for me.

    I'm glad you said that about melatonin. I use it, but I didn't realize it would have that effect. Some days when I get up I feel hung over. I always just thought that it was because I was so exhausted.
