How can I sleep alone?
Hey lucky man,Following points might help you:Dont switch off room light else you can switch it to some night lamp.Have a glass of water before 10 minute of sleep.Make habbit to read something before sleep. (My experience says reading helps a lot, really).Make habbit to exercise regularly, physically of course (it'll make you tired at EOD and will help you to sleep).Try some soothing music in low volume, obviously. (I'll help you to make your mind calm).Try to sleep naked. (Studies and my experience says naked sleep is the best sleep).Dont do any activity before bed which excites you. If it'll not finish your mind will not help you to sleep.Sleep is the best time of your day. Many people don't get it. Enjoy it completely.Dont waste it by thinking weird things.Good night, Sleep well \U0001f634\U0001f634
Have you had to learn to sleep alone again after a break-up?
I have had to find my own place and I am heartbroken. I have been sleeping next to the love of my life for the last few years and now have to live alone again and sleep alone again. Do you have any advice for how you handled this successfully? At first I was terrified to live alone again because it has been so long. Now, I have accepted it but still wonder about the transition to sleeping alone again. I do have dogs so that's a perk. Any advice?
I cant sleep alone and i'm 15.?
You may be able to try small steps to sleep on your own. Put a light on in your room, try with a small nap and build up to a long nap, writing down your feelings down on paper and review your feelings could help to determine where these feelings are coming from. You can desensitize your self to the fear and learn techniques to sooth yourself. If you are committed to make the effort and willing to do the work you can successfully get over your fear of sleeping alone. Also, speaking with a trained counselor can help to learn techniques that can work for you. Seek that help in your community with the help of your Mom. You are worth it and you can get success and hope getting over your fear. If you need a counselor to speak with and to get referrals in your area, you can call the Boys Town hotline at 1-800-448-3000 anytime. Take care, AM
How can I help my 4-month-old (lad) learn how to sleep alone during the day?
So this doesn't work for every baby but a large portion of little ones I've worked with have been “trained" this way. Lay baby down nearly asleep and touch them until asleep, then lay down not quite asleep and touch them, then dont touch the tummy/back but stand nearby, keep laying them down more and more awake. This does take 2-3 weeks but you will eventually be able to lay a tired but awake baby down and walk away.
At what age can a kitten sleep alone?
Hi, my kitten is 16 weeks old and currently he's an only child. ime during the day playing with him and making sure he knows he's loved. He seems fine sleeping on his own. He doesn't cry or scratch at my bedroom door. Is it okay to start training him at this age to continue sleeping on his own or is he too young? Thanks for your advice.
How can I sleep alone without being scared?
Breathe properly.I don’t know how to explain this, but when it’s the end of the day and time hit the bed, my neighbors can be extraordinarily creepy about being quiet. They also sometimes (read: constantly) disappear. Considering I’m epileptic, that’s a bit of a big deal, since I may need someone to call medics on me at night. With this in mind, I learned to breathe properly.Step 1) make sure it’s quiet. I would occasionally have a small cockroach infestation. One cockroach, but the bastard is LOUD. Getting rid of him would be the first priority. After it’s quiet, tuck yourself in, wrap yourself in blankets like a burrito and start breathing.Step 2) Get a loud fridge. My apartment is very small, and as a result, I sleep less than a meter away from my fridge. It can be pretty loud sometimes, that actually helps. I devote some of my concentration to listening to it. It’s somehow relaxing. Also, I make sure to breathe manually.Step 3) Breathe manually. When you breathe, “normal people” tend to raise and lower their rib cage. Instead, force yourself to raise and lower your stomach. Not sure why, but it helps.As some guy who’s name I cannot remember once said “If it’s stupid, but it works, it’s not stupid”.
Should babies learn to fall asleep on their own?
It's a tricky one... it depends which side of the debate you fall on. Side 1) If you rock your child to sleep or co-sleep, they'll never learn to sleep alone and you'll create problems for the future. Side 2) If you never rock your child, they'll never come to rely on you and you'll avoid problems in the future. I personally believe that children who are rocked or cuddled to sleep grow up to be more secure and independent as it's brilliant for their brain development and attachment. Children left to cry-it-out are learning that mummy isn't there when they want/need her and are more likely to grow up to be insecure adults with difficulties trusting others. I rocked and cuddled my son to sleep until he was almost 5 months. One night, he struggled and got more and more frustrated. After an hour of trying to calm him down, I laid him in his cot (for a bathroom break and to regain sanity). He didn't cry as I put him down and by the time I got back from the bathroom, he was asleep! I figured that was a big hint he didn't want me to cuddle him anymore. For the next 3 months, I still started out trying to cuddle/rock him to sleep, but many nights he'd fight to be put down. Since 7 months, I've put him to bed awake with his lullaby CD every night and he's gone straight to sleep with no fuss (odd bad night if he's ill or teething). If I ever stay to stroke his head or cuddle him, it keeps him awake and he gets overtired and grumpy with me. I miss those cuddles so much... but try as I might, he will not fall asleep on me and hasn't for months. I say make the most of it while it lasts! The worst that will happen is that as a young child, your daughter will (heaven forbid) rely on you to cuddle her. Is that really so bad? (Also remember, throughout history familes have shared a bed and in many countries, it's still completely normal. Some cultures are actually horrified to hear about us Western parents putting our babies in not only a separate bed, but a separate room! You're doing much more good than harm - promise!) ETA: I just read the previous answers. It is so sad how some parents fear their babies becoming "dependent". As far as I'm concerned, that's what babies are supposed to be with very good reason. If they have no one to protect them and depend on - they die.
