at night, exercise then take a nice warm shower. then u'll be exhausted and fall asleep. OR ummm, get out of ur bed and do as many pushups and situps as u can and then u'll get tired and fall asleep... hopefully

Happy Sleeping! :TH: :wub:

I used to have trouble falling asleep. A few things that helped me were listening to slow soft music (eg shabads are quite good for this, i like to listen to 'Calmness in the rush'), don't have caffeine after 6pm, lie down and relax every muscle in you body turn by turn (start from your head, shoulders and so on). If all that fails do simran, reciting 'waheguru' always works for me.

Sat Sri Akal:

Good stuff above...

1) A routine is key. Have a daily time to sleep and get up and be consistent with it. Otherwise, your body will be out of a rhythm and uncertain what time to sleep or get up.

2) Exercise about 1- 2 hours before sleep will tire you out enough to sleep too. A warm shower after exercise can help soothe the just worked out muscles and slow the body down to a paceful, restful state.

3) Get off the internet!!! Stop bombarding your brain with heavy new information. Soothing, slow Kirtan or Simran will help to calm the mind down and get it ready to sleep.

4) No coffee or soda or caffiene before sleeping or even anywhere near bedtime. If you have to drink something, drink warm (not boiling and with a minimum of sugar if any) milk, which helps to sleep.

5) Never force yourself to sleep. You end up lying there worried that you cannot sleep and increase worry...which in turn wakes you up further. Read, do some calculus equations, play back your professor's lectures on tape...you know, something that you know will make you sleep.

Hope some of this helps. Let us know of any progress for any further assistance.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
