Those are great suggestions @Audrey12345 . I think with how hard it can be to turn off our minds, these suggestions can for sure help.

Great topic @Audrey12345! 

I've been thinking about this recently, I just feel it's becoming harder for me to just turn off my mind, like @emili mentioned. I always go to bed thinking about many different things and sometimes can't seem to find the way to relax enough, or I even wake up in the middle of the night and immediately start thinking about the same things! 

Thank you for sharing all those suggestions, I find that getting a good pillow and the relaxing music are particularly effective with me. I'll definitely be trying other things to get a better sleep. 

It'd be great to hear from other members of the Community, to see what other people are doing to get a better sleep. 😁

Reasons why I can’t sleep are stress, anxiety and really turning my brain off - too much to do.  

I have a high stress/high demand job - sometimes working from 7am to 2am (on a bad day) and the only thing that works for me is CBD with a lavender scented eye mask.  

if I can get some exercise that day, that’s helpful too.

Hey there. I just joined. I usually drink some melatonin pills when I have problems sleeping and also eat cbd gummies. I have been using melatonin pills because I have been traveling a lot and my sleeping schedule has been really wonky the past couple of years. But it was not the best decision medically as I later found out from my doctor. He suggested some alternatives one of which was CBD infused products since in some people they helped with sleeping issues. I agreed to give it a go and started using CBD gummies. I switched many different brands before setting for one called Koality Medicinals. I liked them the most because they very accessible I was able to order them online whenever I wanted and they were very chewy in comparison to some other brand that I tried. I have been using them for the past few months and they did help with my sleeping patterns. I am really happy and I hope my story will be of some us to you guys.

 I have sleeping troubles.  After hearing more and more about adding terpenes, I started to wonder if there could be some value to beat insomnia. Any experiences?

@RonaldShow It's great to see you around. 

Here are some tips for beating insomnia. 

1. Exercise regularly: moderate exercise on a regular basis, such as swimming or walking, can help relieve some of the tension built up over the day. But make sure you do not do vigorous exercise, such as running or the gym, too close to bedtime, as it may keep you awake.

2. Create a restful sleeping environment: your bedroom should be a peaceful place for rest and sleep. Temperature, lighting and noise should be controlled so that your bedroom environment helps you to fall (and stay) asleep. If you have a pet that sleeps in the room with you, consider moving it somewhere else if it often disturbs you in the night.

3. Do not over-indulge: too much food or alcohol, especially late at night, can interrupt your sleep patterns. Alcohol may help you to fall asleep initially, but it will disrupt your sleep later on in the night.

See you around.
