Recently, I just had a chronic malaria attack which rendered me weak and unable to feed properly. I have been on drugs and few days ago injections along side. Even though am fairly better, the snag is i cant sleep at night. Not with the tossing and turning every now and then on the bed and checking the time over and over again. I am thinking its the injections causing me to be hyperactive. Also, my muscles wont just relax; feel tensed on my bed...so annoying. I used a sleeping tablet yesterday: vocin but i dont want to continue. Prior to this illness, i use to go to sleep once my little head touches my pillow.
Please what should i do?
Thanks in anticipation.

pray when you lie down until you fall asleep.

Onyema1: pray when you lie down until you fall asleep.

Pray? Seriously? And what would she be praying about? For sleep or what? Its amusing how we link everything to prayer in Nigeria. Something needs fixing but all you do is bend down and pray.

Op. Please get back to whoever gave you the prescription or medication. They are in the best way to know the chemical composite of the drugs and know what to advise you to do to get your sleeping grove back.

Pray again....na wa oo.
I think you should just pick up something to read. Before you know it, you'll fall asleep. Don't know if it will work for you sha. Bt does magic for me. That's my sleeping tablet.

Do you have a lot of stuff on your mind you think about?

@op!pray,pray&pray!

Apart from reading, u may also play some cool music . It works for me .

Thanks to you all. I realised i missed fellowshipping. That was why i couldnt lay to rest. Now i sleep like a baby!

Onyema, thank you. I realised i missed fellowshipping, that was why i couldnt lay to sleep. Now i sleep like a baby!....best advice so far.

Victosin09: Onyema, thank you. I realised i missed fellowshipping, that was why i couldnt lay to sleep. Now i sleep like a baby!....best advice so far.

You sleep like a baby?

You are not yet sleeping

Na wa o!

Your post is confusing. If your sleeplessness was due to lack of fellowshipping, then why take us on a merry-go-round talking about Malaria, drugs, injections, low appetite and possible reactions to the prescribed drugs you were given?

smh

I guess she forgot babies are worse sleepers.

hmmm Prayers do work even when you think it not necessary... There was this day that i had a chronic stomach pain, my twin sis jos went to bring a cup of water and she prayed in it and read some psalms in it... she gave it to me and i slept off. even when she was praying in it i was like 'wetin dey do you now na prayer me need ni' not until i slept off peacefully... my dear don't underestimate prayers o.

Thanks ma'am. I am not disputing the fact that prayers work but in most cases you need to take physical action in combination with the prayers. Also in this case. The op clearly stated she was given some drugs. A critical look at those drugs would solve her insomnia problems. No one prays to fall ill but take action and pray along..
Don't have poison in your body and start tempting God with your prayers alone. He created those leaves and elements as a mercy so you could heal yourselves.

Lol
