A personal problem

[fpb]

I have a growing problem with sleeplessness at night. I tend to wake up at about two, and, in the last few weeks, I have had serious problems with going to sleep again. That is no damn good, because it tends to make me fatigued and useless the whole day long. And then the cycle begins again.

If you're not allergic to any of the ingredients try this:
a cup of warm milk mixed with half a mashed banana and honey to taste. I make it in the blender just to give it a smoother consistency.

The milk and honey contain tryptophan which helps with seretonin production which helps you sleep. The milk also contains magnesium with helps with sleep and the banana vitamins B6 and B12. And the mere fact that the milk is warm really helps also of people calm back to sleep in and of itself.

It really works for my husband (who also has recurring bouts of insomnia).

Of course, I agree with sanscouronne and wouldn't rule out the possibility of sleep apnea. It might be worth having yourself checked out if it's really a serious problem and you haven't done so already.
