Sleep Problems
Ihave areally hard time falling asleep at night night. Iget all nervous about murderer's breaking in, and it really scares me! I know thiz soundz childish, but does anyone have any advice on how to fall asleep quicker and it would help if you had advice on how to be calmer and not think every little noise in the night is someone breaking in.

hey! that used to happen to my friend and she like said that she started thinking about happy stuff and she would pray that nothing happened. Well i think that you should think of something funny and watch maybe a funny show and keep your mind set. Hope this helps!

for your first question. I feel the same way at night sometimes too. What gets me relaxed is to play fast, lively, music with good lyrics, quietly so I can sleep, but still feel relaxed because the music isnt naturally quiet (which makes you feel more creeped out due to the silence) but more relaxed and not having worries. Sometimes it helps to sleep with the TV on, even if it's an Infomercial, the sound of someones voice talking about something in the background is more relaxing than the tension of silence.
for your second question. I try to get my mind off of it, and think about other happier things, or things that happened during my day, and after a while I get tired and fall asleep and the bad dream is gone.

ok that stuff happens to me all the time, like last night . . .
listen to your favorite (quiet) cd or song even over and over and over again until you fall asleep. ok headbanger music will not work, and neither will anything with a lively beat. read for a while too, or watch tv when you get scared.

I have the same problem sometimes, but it's just that I can't fall asleep (no murderers or anything). But, what helps me to fall asleep, is to either watch tv and put the timer on so I can fall asleep with it, listen to the radio or cd player, or read a book. Reading a book really helps me because when you read late at night, your eyes begin to get tired and you'll fall asleep easier. Just make sure it's a happy book ;)

this may sound stupid but you should see a therapist. there is obviously something wrong consciously or subconsciously. you should go. and then after that then you should be able to sleep beter.

The TV works sometimes, but every once in a while there is a interesting show that I just HAVE to watch. My boyfriend uses his discman. Be sure that you haven't eaten too close to bed, and a nice hot bath helps to calm my nerves sometimes.
You could think of a phrase of music or spoken word that you can repeat over and over again until you fall asleep. I also like lighting some incense occasionally and smelling it helps you breathe deeper and more relaxing breaths.

haha thats not childish at all i feel that way all the time. Wut i do is i try to think of something good that happened during the day to get my mind off the noises which is usually just ur mind playing tricks on you. Just know that if you have an alarm? it would have gone off and that if everyone else is safely sleeping in their bed so shud u =) hope i helped

One thing my mom always told me when I was younger was, "think about happy things, like rainbows." Well, if I ever hav ea prob like that, I'm not thinkin about rainbows, but about something fun that happened that day or week, or sumtime in the past. Another thing u can try is falling asleep 2 music, that way u'll hear the music rather than all the house creaks and wut not. Try those, or even just get sumthin 2 hold on2 like a stuffed animal, that way 2 can squeeze it whenever u freak a lil bit. If u don't wanna seem childish, use sumthin like a pillow instead that u can just hug. Hope I helped!

i have the same problem lol i am 15 and still afraid of the dark! lol so what i like to do is when i go to sleep i put the cover over my head and that helps me relax i get scared because when i open my eyes in the dark i see dark figures that look like one thing but turn out to be a completely different things! lol i also leave the radio on low so i won't hear strange noises, i even sometimes leave the tv on for light and to block out the noises.
i hoped this helped you and i hope you can fix ur problem. o and to get the bad thoughts out of your head u can try and watch a funny show or movie right b4 bed that always helps me!

I use to have the same problem. What helps me is I would say to my self, ok my dogs will hear them and bark. or, my daddy will come to my rescue (lol). And then like i would try sleeping with my tv on but that doesnt help. i remember just thinking alright now i cant hear them when they break in. You just gotta trust that no one will do that (i know it seems pointless) but i dont think that theres anything that you could do. The only thing that helped me was my dogs lol.
[[hope i helped somewhat]]

Okay get a night light.. put a clock a digital one, by yer bed like on a table and try to count to sixty on time wit the clock =P lol or raise yer arms over your head for a while and you'll fall asleep.. haha its weird but it works!!

Turn on the radio quietly and it will drown out most noises and will give u sumthin' else 2 think about when ur in bed. I hope i helped!

Hey..maybe try listening to calm music or watching tv? Maybe you should consider talking to your doctor about it. He/She can give you medicine to help maybe.
Hope everything works out!
