I’ve just entered middle school, and I go to sleep at about 10 or 11. (Late I know.) I try to wake up at about 5 or 6, but end up waking up at about 6:30. How many hours of sleep should I get? I’ve been falling asleep at lunch lately…

10pm should be the latest try earlier like about 9pm,

At what age and how did u wean baby off pacifier?

My baby is 10 mnths old. Uses his pacifier ONLY for sleeping. At what age did u wean ur baby off and at what age? Thx in advance!

My daughter was 2 when we weaned her. At 10 months the baby only knows that a comfort has been taken away, if the child is older you can reason with them (to a certain extent). We told my daughter that her pacifier had been given to the baby bunny rabbits and sent her a letter from Mummy Bunny Rabbit saying thank you the baby bunnies loved it. My daughter never asked for it again.

Are babies allowed to sleep on their front?

My baby is 7 months old and I always put her to sleep on her back. But she prefers to sleep on her front. Sometimes she turns all the way round, so her head is where her feet would normally go. If I turn her over she wakes up crying and then it takes forever to settle her down again. My health visitor said it’s ok for her to sleep that way.

Is it safe for babies of this age to sleep to their front? Or should I keep turning her onto her back?

Provided you put your baby down on her back, it’s safe for her to sleep any way up she wants.

Once your baby can roll over, the risk of SIDS is a) massively reduced, and b) exactly the same whichever way up she sleeps.

Is it odd for me to wanna sleep naked, being a 15 year old girl?

I watched a movie once and a girl around my age was sleeping naked everynight, so once I tried it. I really enjoyed it, but I opened up and told my friend and she said that was just plain wierd and disgusting…

Sleeping nude is both normal and natural, besides more comfortable.
People have a hang up with nudity and just think it is wrong. If God want us to be naked we would have been made that way.

sleep thing and enjoy the relaxing freedom.

I don’t know why I can’t sleep because I got up at 10am (as usual) and I usually can’t get to sleep in the hot weather but I sleep in my underwear. I am the kind of person who will sleep for ages and I can usually get to sleep. I don’t know if this will affect things but I am thirteen. (Don’t know if you need that info XD). I am very calm too so it can’t be stress and I haven’t had a hot drink like coffee in about nine hours. Can someone help me with ways I can sleep??
Thanks :D xx

try unisom sleep melts or benadryl. that will help make you drowsy.

How to Sleep Longer?

I want to catch up on lost sleep over the ages and sleep more hours every night, but no matter what time I go to bed, I can’t stay asleep for longer than eight hours.

Top 7 Tips To Get A Good Night’s Sleep
Most people think insomnia means chronic sleeplessness that keeps you up all night. Actually, insomnia means any sleep problem. Occasional late-night wake-ups with trouble going back to sleep are not as trying as chronic insomnia, but they are still a threat to well-being. About 65 million American adults have trouble sleeping. For one-quarter of them, the problem is chronic and costly. Americans spend about $15 billion a year on sleeping pills and physician care for insomnia. When people do mention sleep problems to their doctors, two-thirds of physicians prescribe sleeping pills. Sleep medications can relieve occasional insomnia, and sleeping pills are not the best way to go. Natural approaches work better over the long haul. Here are some tips to consider your better, more restful sleeps.

1.Get Regular

Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Many people need regular sleep/wake cycles and find their sleep seriously disturbed if they don’t stick to them. Sleep/wake regularity is especially helpful for what is known as Sunday night insomnia – a surprisingly common inability to fall asleep as the work week is about to begin. Most people assume they are simply anxious about returning to work on Monday. In fact, Sunday night insomnia typically strikes those who stay up unusually late on Friday and Saturday nights and get up late Saturday and Sunday mornings. By Sunday night, they set their internal clock to a later hour and in a phenomenon similar to jet lag, they can’t fall asleep Sunday night until way past their weekday bedtime. Retiring and rising earlier on weekends usually resolves the problem.

2.Pamper Yourself

You spend one-third of your life in bed. Invest in that time and you will probably sleep better. Get comfortable pillows and sheets. Test different types of mattresses. If you have arthritis or a bad back, try extra pillows or specially shaped therapeutic pillows. If heartburn is a problem, elevate the head of your bed a few inches.

3.Reduce Stimulant Consumption

Caffeine and other stimulants cause more sleep problems than most people realize. Many insomnias are exceptionally sensitive to caffeine and have trouble sleeping after one cup of tea or a chocolate bar in the afternoon. Caffeine is an ingredient in many drugs and soft drinks in addition to coffee, tea, and chocolate. Drugs may also contain non-caffeine stimulants. Ask your physician or pharmacist about the possible stimulant effects of every medication you take.

4.Adopt Bedtime Rituals

Bedtime rituals are a way to wind down and mark the boundary between waking and sleeping. Most people change into pajamas and brush their teeth. If you have trouble sleeping, add a few more rituals to your transition period: Take a hot bath, drink a cup of herb tea or do some light reading. But steer clear of the late TV news. It is usually filled with disturbing images that might keep you awake.

5.Limit Alcohol

Many doctors used to advise people who could not sleep to drink a cocktail or glass of wine before bedtime. But many people find that drinking within a few hours of retiring keeps them from sleeping and in nearly everyone, drinking late in the evening produces troubled, fragmented sleep.

6.Try Deep Relaxation

In addition to their ritual value, relaxation techniques also help minimizes the stress that contributes to sleep problems. Aromatherapy, biofeedback, deep breathing exercise, listening to music, massage, meditation, and yoga can all help in overcoming insomnia. Just don’t do any kind of strenuous exercise within a few hours of bedtime. It has a short-term stimulant effect.

7.Get Out Of Bed

This sounds ridiculous, but many people with insomnia believe that the longer they stay in bed, the more they will sleep. Not so. If a person who needs seven hours a night stays in bed for nine, the seven hours get spread thinly over the nine and sleep becomes more troubled and less restful.

My pet had to be put to sleep today and im mourning.. help please!?

We had to put my cat to be put to sleep today because of old age. (Ya happy Micheal?!) She was very sick, and now i’m mourning. I really need help to somehow get her out of my mind, because every time i think about her, i start to cry. I don’t want to be a mess the rest of the summer..(: Thanks so much. No RUDE OR MEAN comments please. Im so serious about this.

Don’t try to put her out of your mind. She was important to you, and allowing yourself to feel the grief of losing her is the healthiest way to accept her death and handle the pain.

You will always miss her. What will happen, over time, is that you’ll find more room for the good memories of having her in your life, and little by little less room for the pain of losing her.
