Increasing your metabolism sub

[Jackie]

I've tried relaxation techniques in the form of small meditation exercises (lying still, sensing your body and becoming quiet inside), relaxation music, hypnosis tapes. And as I was doing that I was starting to think "is this working for me?", and started analyzing from there

I've tried clearing my bed room from anything that's not sleep related, tried to have some background feedback (in the form of audio of shows that I liked) to have a different narrative than my own going on, this last one kind of helped until I got sick of playing the same shows over and over again, after that I switched to audiobooks which I still use as a sleeping aid from time to time. Reading in bed also helped somewhat, but I don't have the tendency to read every night.

A temporary solution was eating raddish, I read somewhere that it was good for keeping your kidneys healthy, and that in effect improved the quality of your sleep. Along with diminishing having bags under the eyes. I hadn't eaten it for years, and for two glorious weeks I slept like clockwork. In the end I started gaming in the late hours and I was back at square one, and it didn't matter anymore how much raddish I still ate after that. It lost it's pizzaz, apparently.

Same thing happened when I tried the Absolute Self Confidence subliminal, after using it for three weeks, I slept like clockwork again. Then I started using Alpha Male, and yet again ended back to square one.

I have taken Melatonin from time to time in capsule form, but I didn't noticed that much of a difference, I am noticing that I'm feeling more drowsy, and a little bit more susceptible as to fall asleep. But I had my nights where I took it, and I still couldn't sleep. Also whenever I took it, I felt kind of out of myself the day after, not that centered throughout the day.

I'm glad that you at least have found something that is working for you, gives me hope

Jay, if you are anything like me, I tend to have some bad night time habits that probably contribute to not sleeping well too. I have read that being on the internet at night keeps your mind too active, as well as the light from the screen can send "wake up" messages to your brain. Also, if you're gaming at night, same thing. That kind of stimulation definitely affects me, but yet I also find that it helps me wind down and it's a hard routine to break.

I honestly slept better when I would take a bath every night. It forces you to sit there and just relax. I'm going to go back to that. A book is ok. Also, instead of an audio tape, try playing classical or something soothing in the background.
