sleeping problem?
Sometimes if I can't fall asleep at night- I'll drink one or two smirnoffs, or a mikes hard lemonade, and then I pass right out. I don't do this often and I know I don't have a problem. I'm most definitely not an alcholic- I know my limits and I'm not irresponsible. I was just wondering if anyone knows a better way to get some sleep without having to drink. I'm scared of sleeping pills, so those aren't an option. Thanks.

I suffered from this same problem. It is generally caused by your Brain refusing to switch off. If you find that you can not sleep because you are thinking of something like work or school or even a problem, then my advise to Read!! No matter how interesting the book, your eyes will start to droop and your Brain will think of something other than your problems. Wait until you find you are nodding off, then switch off the lights and close your eyes. Think about what you have been reading and you will find this helps you to nod off. Good luck. P.S Not horror books!!

Yeah.. Sleeping pills CAN seem scary sometimes. However, if you talk to your doctor, he/she could suggest a sleeping AID. Not a sleeping pill. They may suggest an over the counter one such as Tylenol PM, or they may prescribe something for you such as Lunesta. But you should talk to your doctor, tell them what's been going on (Except for the drinking part..) Tell him/her you can't sleep at night, how hard it is for you to fall asleep, times you'll go to bed, how long you'll lay in bed before finally dozing off, etc. But definately try to talk to your doctor. If not, I suggest Tylenol PM. I use it alot because I the same trouble you do. It puts me out in about 20-30 minutes. And it isn't as harsh as an actual sleeping pill. That's why it's O-T-C. (over the counter).

This will sound totally stupid but it does work. Try sleeping at the opposit end of the bed. :)
