Sleeping problems

Sleeping difficulties are usually just temporary reactions to stress in our lives and pass within a short period of time. However, stressing out from not being able to sleep, and even worse - trying to force yourself to sleep - is a good way to develop a long-term sleeping disorder. Let yourself relax, if you can't sleep, get up, have a glass of milk, take a short break, then try again. The best thing you CAN do is maintain a little structure in your sleepstyle - don't associate your bedroom with anything other than sleep (and lovemaking); keep it dark and quiet; don't let yourself sleep late; don't take naps until you have resolved your sleeping problems; try relaxation techniques before going to sleep. But ultimately, remember: Sleeping is like feeling, it's not under your control, so don't try to control it, or you'll dig yourself deeper.
