Not that I am positing a relationship between those two things.<BR/><BR/>But maybe there is a relationship between drinking coffee and sleeping. Even if you drink it in the AM? I don't know.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes worry causes insomnia. The best cure for worry is to do your best and give the rest to God to worry about. That is a whole lot easier to talk about than it is to do. But it is still a habit worth cultivating. It will help in the long run if not so much immediately.<BR/><BR/>The worst cures for insomnia are the chemical ones. They only work for a while and sometimes have side effects. <BR/><BR/>The second best cure (that I know about) for insomnia is to practice relaxation techniques. (deep breathing patterns, ... - I can give you the details if you are interested. But there are lots of places to find info about the techniques.) I have done this for years (off & on) and can feel (a little) rested after relaxing for 10 minutes even without sleeping. And sometimes it helps me go to sleep. Even when it doesn't (help me go to sleep) it gives my mind something to chew on instead of worrying about not sleeping on top of worrying about whatever I am worrying about.Doing Better Than I Deservehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066265992775679929noreply@blogger.com
