As a Chronic Insomnia, I can honestly say I know how you must feel. You're not on any sleeping meds? And, are you experiancing such high levels of stress that you cannot stand to sleep??

When it comes to stress levels preventing your sleep then you should probably try to take just a small ammount of time each day where you can meditate. Even if only for 10 minutes. Once you practice some breathing excersizes you'll be sitting there (laying down, whatever) and feel as if you have a new calm you've never felt before, it does take awhile to get the hang of meditating when first starting though. So be patient.

And, I suggest looking into some relaxing herbs to start taking as well. Such as Kava Kava, (sp?), St. John's Wart....and about three hours before you want to be sleeping take some Velarium Root. You can find these at most health food stores.....-Kava kava really helps take the edge off of BPD mood swings & symptoms for alot of people, and over all is just makes you feel like you're totally cool with almost everything going on, well not like you're drugged out or anything, but in control.

If you choose to take these things, you'll probably have to keep it up steadily for about two or three weeks before actually noticing much of a difference, then you lower your dosage to the minimum ammount.
I've taken Kava Kava & St. John's Wart in the same time-span before, but I don't reccoment combining more than two of any herb..

Also, if you drink alot of caffiene every day that really doesn't help anything on the subject of sleep.

That's all of the advice I wanted to give you.

Hey,

I just want to say one more thing on the subject of meditating.

Since you mentioned that you don't feel totally comfortable while meditating, if you haven't already, vizualizing a golden glow surrounding you while thinking positivities would be good. It's meant to make one feel secure.

Anyway, if you've already tried that then please just ignore this.

Thanks
