quite likely anxiety related

even if you dont conciously know about a problem or thing that is bothering you, your body sometimes forces you to deal with things in other ways.

which sucks. the only way to deal with that is to deal with the thing thats making you anxious, which is easier said than done

You could also visit the doctor, i know it sounds a bit drastic but they might be able to tell you the root of your problem and presribe you some mild/strong sleeping pills, alternatively you could just get them from your chemist. I'm not saying this is the solution and you might not be comfortable taking medicine or whatever but it will help in the short term. In the long term you need to find out what could be making this happen and sort it out, I hope it works xxx

Yeah, that's cool. You can buy a version of Nytol (a sleep tablet) that's herbal called Nytol Herbal, quite ironically :rolleyes:

It's available from a normal chemist. Herbal treatments do tend to be weaker though, that's the only thing. And the doctor might be able to give you better advice or a better product. You could always tell the doctor you want something herbal, they'd be able to give you something i'm sure! Talking of sleep, i'm off. I hope you get it sorted, PM me if you need any help xxx

I take Herbal Nytol for problems like these. I checked it out with my GP, and she said it's harmless and it's better to use that than have to be prescribed anything stronger. Give it a try. :smile:

That'll be your conscience which is keeping you awake.
