How do i get more sleep at night?
Q. I'm 16 years old, on average i get 6 hours of sleep per night and that's not enough. I always feel tired, and I'm a fit kid. I exercise 1-2 a day, but they are not near bed time. Suggestions?
A. i have 3 suggestions................they all work
1.............go to walmart get a package called.........levity. Its yellow pills and about 80 of them per package. it costs about 4-5$. take one pill about an hour before going to bed..it will make you very low and slow.
2..................at walmart there is another product called...meltonin. you take about 1/3 of a pill about 1 hour before going to bed......putter around, take a bath.....make sure you bedding is clean....sit up in your bed and read for a few mintues and you will begin to get drowsy.......dont shut the light off until your eyes begin to close on you......then turn the light off and lay back on your side.
we sleep better on our side.
if you need music make sure its real.....slow music. like classical...to keep your emotions down and easy.heavy kid music will just keep your senses on high gear...for sleep you dont want this
in any event, give yourself about 8-9 hours of time for melitonin to work...take it about 8 pm.....or 7.....take everynight for a while and get back into routine.....this product will never hurt you.its natural...your brain produces melitonin.....but sometimes it doesnt produce well enough...so you are merely replacing it...
once you take it, dont go out.............just get ready for bed and begin to calm down and move toward the bedroom in what ever your doing.....try to be in bed within an hour of taking it.
now if you wake up in the night and cannot back to sleep..........
there is a product they sell for children who have alergies, so its soft and safe, just dont take everyday..it may not react well with your kidneys and liver.....its good for 2 days or so in a row.
its called...........equate, children alergy medicine.............it cost about 3$ for a bottle.....if you wake up in the night, take 1 tlb spoon......and lay back with soft music or low tv.....you will be to sleep in about an hour.
good luck

How can I get my 2 year old to sleep in his own bed?
Q. My 2 year old usd to sleep fine in his own bed and room alone until he was 18 months old. In fact he wouldnt fall asleep anywhere else. One night he woke up crying and refused to sleep in his room and never did after that. I think it may have been emotional stress because his father and I had been going through a hard time and his father was no longer living with us. He will be 3 in January and he still has to sleep with me. I dont mind him sleeping in my bed, but I know if I dont get him to sleep in his own bed, it will trun out that he'll want to sleep with me till he is 9 or something ridiculous. Is it healthy for a child to sleep with their parents? Over all how can I get him to sleep in his own room?
A. When the timing seems right, start with a few small changes. The idea is to gradually wean your child from the family bed, so he doesn't feel as if he's being abruptly kicked out (and by the people he loves most in the world!). If he still naps, have his nap in his own room, to give him practice sleeping solo there during the less-intimidating daylight hours. For nights, you can put a futon or a mattress on the floor at the foot of your bed. Tell your child that someday he'll spend the night in his big-kid bed in his own room, but that for now this is his special bed � giving him the security of being close to you while also getting him accustomed to independent sleeping.
If your child doesn't have a comfort object, like a teddy bear, blanket, or baby doll, try offering him one now and encouraging her to sleep with it. At this age, he may not take to a comfort object if he's never used one before. But if he does, it'll help him make the final move to his own bed � after all, he may be forced to leave you behind, but no one can stop him from taking his "Beary" with her. After a few weeks, explain to your child that it's time for him to sleep in his room at night, and remind him that you'll be right next door (or down the hall) if he needs you.
Another alternative, , is to move your child straight into his own room but to sleep with him there for the first week or two while he gets adjusted. "Once he's sleeping well in his new space, move yourself out very gradually,. Go from lying down with him to sitting next to him as he falls asleep, then from sitting on the bed to sitting on the floor, and finally move from the floor to the door.
What should I do if my child resists moving to his own bed?
Over the next few months, you may wear out the carpet between your room and your child's. But you have to expect protests and middle-of-the-night visits � it's only natural for him to continue to seek comfort from you at night, especially if he's had the security of sleeping with you since birth. So decide what your priority is. If your priority is to not be woken, keep the extra mattress on your bedroom floor for a while, so that your child can wander in and go back to sleep there if he wants. If your priority is to get your child to remain in her room through the night � and if you're willing to lose some sleep to accomplish this � then do away with the extra mattress. When your child comes into your room, calmly lead him back to his bed and sit with him for a few minutes. (Repeat as often as necessary.)
You can also encourage an upbeat attitude about his new sleeping quarters by letting your child decorate his room with favorite stuffed animals and toys, his own drawings on the walls, and a night light (or two). Talk up and celebrate this transition as the big graduation that it really is, complete with balloons, cake, and gifts of new bedding featuring her favorite characters. Then inaugurate opening night with a peaceful-but-simple bedtime ritual that you'll be able to stick with (for example, a bath, a story, a song, and a few minutes of cuddling).

How can I make a small home look and feel larger on a small budget?
Q. I am moving to a 3 bedroom with a dining area, kitchen, and 2 full baths... It sounds okay but the rooms are small... How can I make them appear bigger and not feel cluttered???
A. If you have a garage or storage area, build shelves and store items that are not used everyday out of vision. Likewise, I suggest that you remove closet poles and put shelves in the all closets. If you do not want to do that, try putting dressers in the closets. You can also paint the trim a lighter color than the walls. If you use a very light (white is great) high gloss paint for the trim and a cream or very light beige satin for the walls, you will also make the walls seems bigger and stand out. Don't use coffee tables. If you need a table by your couch, try one that is tall and not very deep. Place that behind the couch and angle the back of the couch so that it faces an open area. If you need night stands, get ones with drawers in them to utilize the space you have with more storage opportunities. Placing things on counter tops and table tops will make the room look smaller. Hidding as much as possible will give the illusion that you have more space to put your stuff. Therefore, try to illiminate the furniture you do not need will using the extra spaces that your furniture provides. Plastic storage boxes that stack are great; you can fit lots of things in them and they can even be used as tables. If you have an older child who needs a desk, try finding a loft bed that has a desk beneath it. Older kids seem to love these kinds of beds and they are truly space-saving! You could also put your own bed on bricks or bed stilts. A long bed ruffle will cover the storage boxes that fit under your slightly elevated bed. If you are very short of storage spaces, cut a piece of plyboard a little larger than the lid of a storage box full of things you do not regularly need (like Christmas decorations). Put the board on top of the box and put a long decorative cloth over the board. Use two as lamp tables beside your couch. If you still have extra money to spare after the move, you might invest in a TV that fits on the wall.
How can I get my daughters to go to bed?
Q. My daughters are 2 and 3 yrs old. They don't nap during the day so I put them to bed at 7 pm everynight. But they do not actually go to sleep until 11 pm. I am exhausted and rarely have time to shower anymore. How can I get my kids to listen to me and go to sleep at a decent hour?
A. Do they share a bedroom? If so, then separate them, if possible, even if that means one of them starts the night in your bed until she's asleep.
Get them up early. When are they usually up? My two boys go to bed around 8, but they've always been up between 6:30 and 7:30 in the morning. They're tired out by 8, 8:30 at the latest.
Try keeping them up a half hour longer, but use that half hour to read to them, not watch TV or let them horse around. It has to be quiet stuff. No stimulants or roughhousing a half hour before bed. That's calm-down time. Baths at that time can be helpful, too.
Make sure you have a routine, something like: book, bed, prayers (if you say them, if not, talk for a few minutes about the day or about people you love), lights out, hugs and kisses, good night song and door closed... all the way.
Make sure they get enough of a work-out through the day to tire them out.
Warm milk before bed? That is, if they are bed wetters.
You could also try very soft calming music to put them to sleep.
Good luck.
