When you wake up if you have a shower then put some pure Rosemary oil in your shower gel, or burn some in an oil burner, even have some on a Kleenex to have a sniff at.\nRosemary is know as the Physical/Spiritual Awakener, although you shouldn't use it if you suffer from epilepsy, as it 'freshens' the brain rather too much for those that do suffer.

About water, \nyou probably need to eat a LOT LESS SALT.  Be more careful about what you eat.  Almost everything that you don't make yourself has a lot of salt in it.  Salt makes your body hold on to more water, so you feel swolen.  Too much salt is bad for you.  \nDrink more water.  Drinking more water, helps you eliminate extra water.  It doesn't seem to make sense, but it works that way.\nVitamin B6 and B12 also help you lose extra water in your body.\nEat lots of fruits, vegetables and fiber (beans have lots of fiber).  \nDrinking a little bit of wine (half a glass or a glass before bed), helps you eliminate excess water.  Red wine is better for your heart.\nDon't try to diet.  Diets are stupid.  You need to change your life forever if you want to be healthy.  DO NOT DIET.

My husband & I work 12 hour swing shifts (on a 2-2-3 rapid rotation). Nightshifts I take an herbal sleep aid called melatonin before I go to sleep for the day. When you work dayshift then nightshift & days again it messes w/ your bodies natural production of seratonin which is needed for normal healthy sleep patterns. Melatonin helps to restore some of this balance. It has also been shown to help w/ migraine headaches. It promotes deeper sleep and/or REM sleep. It is non-addicting. You can buy it at any healthfood stores, drugstore, even walmart. NOTE: recommended dose is 3 mcg(micrograms). Some makers will sell it at a dose as high as 3 mg! This is too much & will leave you feeling groggy.

first off breathe and second know that it is okay to indulge in those things from time to time, also after you drink soda because it is a dehydrator you need to re-hydrate your body so drink if I remember correctly it is twice the amount in water. Also water is a great way to flush your system out so it will help. Don't feel bad don't deny yourself everything or you will never lose any weight just compromise or you will just go right back to how you ate, don't go on a diet change your lifestyle and find a new way of life that works for you, one that keeps you happy but is better than it is now.

Ok...so...a multi vitamin for sure...is the first way to go.  If you don't like taking pills..there are some great liquid ones that you normally just mix with juice.  The liquid ones are actually easier for your body to absorb.  \nStretch in the morning.  \nDo a fully body stretch...don't even have to get out of bed for that..and then maybe do a few when you get out of bed.  Helps wake up your muscles.\nDrink real fruit juices.  Get a juicer.  Caffeine only helps you for a while...juice can help for so much longer.\nThat goes into the next thing...make sure to eat lots of the good things...your body will thank you in more ways then 1.\nListen to good upbeat music when you are getting ready in the morning. LOL.  Dance around while brushing your teeth.\nExercises...like yoga.  Brings more oxygen to your body.  We normally don't breathe deep enough to get the amount of oxygen to our bodies..and that can make you feel tired.\nOh..and if all else fails.  See if you have some sort of sleep apnea.  I know some people who don't dream..and so even though they are deep sleepers..they are never well rested..we need to dream to refresh ourselves. \n\nThat's all I can think of..hope at least one of them helps.\n:)

You can go to the doctor and they inject a saline solution right into the area where they occur.  It is a temporary measure but if you wish them hidden for the summer it may help.  ride a stationary bike, that helps circulation.  sitting with your legs up may feel good after a long day at work but you still need the blood pumping the blood a little more energetically after the abuse we put them through a long day.

Don't know where you are, but I certainly hope you are not trying to do your home work in my time zone right now (I'm in Texas).  Because if you are, I can tell you why you are feeling tired.  IT'S 5:00 AM!!!\n\nSeriously, try not snacking before or during studying. Or if you do, eat healthy snacks such as raw vegetables, nothing sugary or starchy.  Go to bed every night at the same time and get up every morning at the same time.  This will train your body and your mind when you should be awake and functioning and when you should be asleep and resting.\n\nThere is so much more.  I don't think I could list them all here.  Besides I'm at work and I have a job to do.

Drink lots of water.  Staying hydrated keeps you awake.

Try these if you want to fall asleep faster:\n\n1.  Exercise\nMake sure you exercise enough and stay physically active.  If you don't move a muscle all day long, you have too much energy left at the end of your day.  Do some aerobic sports at least every other day, each lasting 30 minutes or more.\n\n2.  Stress management\nToo much stress obviously help create insomnia.  Make sure you are not annoyed by or concerned with anything when you are in bed.  Relax yourself before going to bed.  If necessary, some "soft" relaxing exercise helps. (or even moderate stretching will do)\n\n3. Hot drink other than coffee\nIf possible, take a cup of hot or warm drink like skimmed milk.  Avoid drinking coffee starting from six hours (or more) before you go to bed.\n\n4. Body temperature\nI advise taking a warm shower before going to bed.  When you're sleeping your body temperature drops a little bit.  So the shower help create that "drop" because after the shower your body is slightly "hotter".  Make sure you feel a comfortable temperature at where you sleep. Too cold: add a blanket; too warm: show your bare feet or even your lower legs.

well, providing that I can keep stuff down, I eat chicken and stars soup with saltines and drink a ton of water, and sleep alot. if I cant keep anything down, then I just sleep alot and drink water even though it comes back up after a bit. better to be berely hydrated than totally dehydrated.

take a break every 20 minutes to give your eyes a rest and make sure there is enough light surrounding you in the room.  I used to have this problem and I used to get really drowsy.  I did what I've told you to do and I also turned down the brightness on the screen. Works a treat!

I take Valerian root supplements every night before bed.  They really knock me out, and I wake up feeling fine as long as I give myself at least 5 hours of rest after taking it.  It works best if you take it every night, one shots help, but regular use seems to make it work better.

Go to the healthfood store and buy echinacea (liquid works the best) and put it under your tongue a couple times a day and before you go to sleep.  And i swear by this... Eat 5 or 6 oranges in a row before you go to sleep and you'll wake up feeling fine.  Lots of water too and as much sleep as you can get.  Always works for me.

Take Echinea - liquid is best - every day.  Its a natural way to ward off colds etc.

I have had major sleep problems and here are some things that have helped me.  Mind racing at night is a sign of serotonin deficiency.  Serotonin is a chemical in the brain that makes us feel good and relaxed.  \n\nSerotonin is made from tryptophan, an amino acid component of protein.  There's a lot of tryptophan in turkey, which is why we do get sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner.  There's some in milk.  The trick is that tryptophan has to compete with other amino acids to cross what's called the "blood-brain barrier."  Other amino acids make other brain chemicals that make us feel alert and on edge (like epinephrine - similar to adrenalin).  \n\nSo, bottom line is, try eating more turkey.  Or have some milk with high carbs that increase your insulin and let tryptophan win the race to the blood-brain barrier and make serotonin.  Carbs can be things like a piece of fruit, or some bread.  My favorite is a "milk shake" with fruit.\n\nOther hints - keep the room dark.  Try to establish a routine for going to bed, to train your mind that it's getting time to get ready for sleep (like training Pavlov's dog).  A simple routine like - brush your teeth, get dressed for bed, write a few minutes in a journal, just long enough so your brain has time to adjust to the sleep that's coming.\n\nGood luck to you.

I just finished my 2nd semester of law school, and I am also sleeping in that much since last week. I assume that it is our body telling us that it is catching up on the sleep that we deprived it of for so many months. There has been research done on that; they refer to it as a sleep bank. So, as long as you are not emotionally unstable, there is nothing wrong with relaxing your body and busy mind with sleep. As you know, once school kicks in again, we will be sleep deprived again. Enjoy! :o)
