I see that monster every morning when i look in the mirror, regardless of how much i sleep. I did some skim readin for ya, and stats show that these are the best alternatives when you don't wanna pop 15 pills a night,
-No god damn naps during the day.
-Avoid caffeine 4 hours before 'bedtime'.
-Get as much exercise as you can during the day, at least 15 minutes. Or try an exercise before bed, almost anything (walking, yoga, etc).
-Concentrate on your internal clock: if you go to bed a week straight at 4:00AM, then go to bed another week at 9:00P.M, then you'll completely screw it up! schedule a bedtime and wake-up time, and try your best to stick with it. Then eventually, your body will tell you when you want to sleep and will even begin to wake you up by the time of your alarm.
-No large meals before bed.
-Warm drinks actually help.
-Depression and stress can be the main causes, so try and dull them before bedtime if you can't get rid of them.
If they don't help, talk to a doctor. Hope I was some aid to ya Gunter.
