Try writing then all down, sometimes there is actually less than you think
Getting them on paper, subconsciously may help at that moment to get them out of your mind, helping you to sleep at that moment
Seeing them as a list, will help you categorise them in priority and then help you tackle each issue one by one
Also try some exercise to tire yourself out, running or just walking outdoors, get some fresh air, exercising will help story sleep |

No caffeine before you go to bed, go for a run or walk should help and maybe a massage before bed to try relax. Or there may be something medical underneath it so a visit to the GP might be worth a go. Hope this helps and it gets better soon. J x |

A walk is a good idea. Try and notice something that you've never seen before. Exercise is good for your brain as well as your body. Lists are also good, pros and cons, make a goal and do a plan to get it, organize your house and get rid of junk, redecorate, redesign, do something different. If you keep busy during the day, you may sleep better and feel better. |

Do you have much time for 'you' at all. Not being on 'Mummy' duty or any other type of 'duty'?
Are you eating healthy?
Have you got a support network of family or friends who can help at all?
It's good that you recognise you are having problems but I do think you definitely should visit your GP asap. This could be the start of more serious problems and if professional advice is sought as early as possible the better the outcome generally.
Hopefully you feel better soon. Take care of yourself because your child needs you and needs you happy and healthy.  |

This is gonna sound stupid. But if your bodys tired but your brain is keeping you awake you need to tire out your brain. Try something like reading.
Something to engage your brain but not to the extent that you have yo think about it. Ficyion is good because u will mentally image the story without needing to actively think about it |

routine is very important for maintaining mood, at the very least regarding sleep.
otherwise exercise is a very good way to quickly bring your mood and energy back to normal/above normal. but 99% of people never take that advice. |

try keeping a notepad beside your bed. Jot down everything that you are thinking about, whether it is rambles, things you need to do, things you need to say or ideas you may have.
It'll hep you get them out of your mind, tire you out and be able to return to them should you wish |

Learn to meditate there's lots of info on the web. It works wonders for me as I used to go nights without sleep from not switching off from a highly stressful job. Also looking at the stuff you put about your background maybe some counselling might be worth a try? Good luck xx |

Awful when your minds racing and you're shattered ! Try things like no TV or laptops or mobiles etc hour before bed .Even better if you ensure nothing like that in your bedroom when your going to bed too. Some great books about relation and mediation techniques. My father swears by yoga for not only helping physical but for training the mind to slow down and switch off .so maybe try that as well as the other great suggestions on the thread . Hope you get find what works for you x |

go for a run. the human body is not meant to be idle, if it is the brain thinks theres something wrong. its why pretty much the first line treatment for most depression is exercise.
a nice big shot of natural antidepressants, mood enhancers and sets you up with a good appetite and a spike in melanin to help you sleep after.

Night Time is the worse time for your mind to start thinking. It is worth seeing your gp to make sure there are no underlined problems
Im a very bad sleeper so if Im having problems I try not to use the Internet or watch tv. Then over a course of a week I will use nytol. They are only for short term use. Also a nice bath with lavender in it. X |

Fill a glass with water and take an effervescent vitamin c tablet. Hold the tablet while you think of what's on your mind. When you've done that, drop the tablet in the glass and watch your worries dissolve in front of your eyes. I know it sounds crazy....it might help |

I suffer with depression and it has effect my sleep in the past why not try bit of sleep hygiene hot milky drink and bath before bed at the same time of night if you can. Hopefully in time your brain will get used to sleep at that time also try some relaxation apps or deep sleep apps on your phone.
With the tablets I have had sleepers before they do work but after so long they stop so you need a higher dose and so on my advice would be only take 1 if you really need it if you go a night or 2 with no sleep at all. As for the side effects I experienced bad taste in the mouth and felt quite groggy the day after.
If you do have 1 go to bed straight away as they are only designed to get you to sleep not stay asleep so if your not asleep after 2 to 4 hours then they will ware off also you may feel slightly dizzy and sick when you 1st take them.
Sorry for the long post feel free to message of you need anymore advice on anything.
Hope you get sorted and chin up xx |

I happen to know the practices in your area. I hope you are at a 'good practice' rather than at the top of the hill!
If you understand what I am saying without me being too obvious , if at the top of the hill I suggest you change ASAP.  |
