New to Sleeping Pills?!
Question: New to Sleeping Pills.?
I have had trouble sleeping since before I was in school. It takes me hours to get to sleep and I'd only be able to stay asleep for 2 or 3 hours.
Now I'm 21 and sick of this vicious cycle. I work third shift 5 nights a week now so I have to force myself to sleep during the day. I wanted to know what is the best sleeping pill that will get me to sleep fast but won't make me unable to work for 8 hours after taking it.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
You can try chamomile tea, which is a mild relaxant. If that isn't strong enough, you can use valerian tea. Valerian is an herb that is similar to valium. However, you should not use it long term.
I am sure that you know this, but working third shift can cause diseases [such as diabetes, for one] because your metabolism naturally needs to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Your body is just not meant to be awake and working all night. If you already have sleep problems the shift you work is just going to make them worse. Maybe you can change shifts to second shift if not day shift eventually.Health Question & Answer

any thing that happened during the day/night. Lay down

be careful with sleeping pills, most cause dependence and do not give you as restful a sleep as you would get without a pill. try breathing exercises or drinking some warm milk before bed.
