Are there a CURE for INSOMNIA apart from prayer?

[María Gálvez-Villalobos]

Hello friends,

Well? Are there?

I'm tossing and turning up all nights recently.

I've try the prayer, I've try the sheeps, I've try the hot milk before bed (is impossible this opcion cos it's getting hot here and even whit the thinnest, lightest of silk pijama is still very hot in our flat cos it get the sun all the day) but nothings seem to work.

I've try getting up and have shower but it just wake me more:

I've try showering whit my thin, flimsy pijama on and go back to bed all wet and hope this cool me down but I catched the cold and was in the bed for a week whit esneezes and yuck in general.

I've try my sister Paqui give me a massage (she's very fantastic whit the hands) before bed but to no available - it no works.

So I don't know - I notice myselve more tense than usual - is it cos I lose my job and need something to fill me the time? - and I have frictions a bit whit my sisters (although I love them much much much - but we're still sisters so we gonna argue sometimes, yeah? Ok)

I EVEN try whit put a pillow between my knees for see if that relaxe me by keep my legs apart a little - is what the doctor say me - so I supose she know what she are talk about.

But in the end - nothing of nothing - !! Here I am at 3.20 am on the intrenets and I can no sleep.

Please help!

Any advisies?

This is why you need a True Christian™ husband to plan and make the most of your days. No Christian wife ever suffers insomnia.

Instead of spending your idle days here prattling on and on with meaningless nonsense, you would be up before the sun and at least have the toilets gleaming before your husband awakes. The lawn mowed and the base boards scrubbed by 7, laundry, ironing and folding done by 8 when you make his breakfast.

Your days should be a whirlwind of nonstop service to your husband and the home, praise Jesus. Not wasting God's bandwidth with irrelevant twaddle and self-pity.

In Christ

God has blessed you with the abilty to clean for that many hours and you waste them. If you want to go to sleep just clean until you pass out. Thats gods way of telling you that you can take a break. If you are not doing this and slaving after your man, then you are abusing a gift from God.

well, daddy (RIP) never had much trouble gettin his Zs after sipping on the floor wax most evenings? He would snore like the dickens, and wouldn't wake up for nothin! I can't fully recommend daddy's remedy, as floor wax is certainly an acquired taste.

Sheriff Jergensens had to keep comin out to make sure nobody got blowed up. it annoyed daddy somethin fierce! so, instead he just took to imbibing them household chemicals.

If you lazy bums weren't taking siestas all the time you wouldn't be having this insomnia problem.

We girls aren't have time whit the cleaning etc etc after the meals.

Dear Mari,

Usually a cup of hot chocolate milk makes wonders to me!

But it´s true that some physical exercises help a lot! So if you don´t get enough physical exercises during the day with your chores, try to run for an hour, at the least three times a week. It´s good for you heart and it will make you sleep as a baby!

I hope I´ve helped!

People say a cup of wine daily keeps your heart strong! Unless, just one doens´t help, of course. I wouldn´t suggest you to ger drunk every night, but if it´s just a little I don´t see why not.

Oh but we have to be clear that your sister is over 18. In Portugal that´s the age to be allowed to drink. How do old you have to be to drink in Spain?

Re: Are there a CURE for INSOMNIA apart from prayer?

For a Pastor, who is required to know these thing, this is a fascinating area of study; for a young woman like yourself, it is non-salvific and therefore simple, Holy Reading, which you will find most restful.

I suggest that you read and try to learn the entire genealogy of Jesus from Adam. I'll start you off from the part following Seth:
