Okay I'll try and make it snappy

So am into this new relationship with this beautiful girl, everyman's dream, fun and nice to be with, but the only issues i have is that she abuses sleeping pills
So she told me that before she met me earlier this year, she's been taking the sleeping pills so as to fall asleep. but then after we started dating she stopped taking it and she's now finding it hard to fall asleep naturally without the aid of the drugs.
please guru's in the house how do we handle this situation, am willing to help her find help.



Ps: she's been taking the drug for close to a year and it has been having advert effect on her, also note that she's been to the hospital before and the doctor warned her to stop and she refused to stop then.

One thing I have learned in my years of dating is to not deal with another person's problems, especially if its something you are really concerned about. It doesn't end well often.

However, in this case, im not sure what you can do. If she couldn't listen to a doctor, what can anyone else say or do? Except you want to take her to the Psychiatric center in Yaba, they have a sleep lab there. I hope they can help.

Please dont start a serious relationship nursing another person though.

She's addicted.
For someone to stop an addiction, you need to change an addiction with another addiction, just decide what you want to replace the sleeping pill addiction with in her life, maybe fruits, nuts, chewing gum, sweet, exercising etc.

Everyone is addicted to something, choose your addiction wisely.

Tell her to be OBIdient and you will be surprised how sleep will locate her and change her life and make her YUSful

When the urge comes, she may put a lollipop in her mouth.

According to what I noticed she sleep without the pills only when she’s happy and in love
One time we were doing video call she slept off just like that without the drugs

Addiction is very bad, she should engage herself in something boring whenever she’s about to go to bed, it will hasten her sleep

Op focus.

Tor dey make her happy la
Una two no serious
Tell her to leave that drug.
But who no sleep for night go sleep for morning or afternoon na

Implications of being addicted to drugs.

Therapist or rehab should help

you should both give it some time. The effects of the drugs will take some time to wear off. I was once in those shoes. Search for other healthier alternatives for supplements and aids in sleeping. Eat healthily

Your topic is different from the bodies

Tell her to de drink Odogwu Bitters every night.


my aunty use to take action bitter every night before she sleep.

Let’s see your pics fess so we can know how ruined you are.

Self therapy should also work only if the person can ask self the following questions with sincerity.

1. What led to the forcing sleep? Fears, worries, guilts, regrets?

2. Have those issue (s) been taking care of or currently working on to fix?

3. Is there any assurance to give to your subconscious mind in the name of promising not to do such thing again?

4. Are you ready to forgive yourself in the case of guilt and regret?

No be fu*k you wan fu*k??


Just do your thing and leave the problem for the next man to deal with..
















No vawulence intended

Let her try Alcohol nd diphenhydramine...she will be just fine
And please Run away from anything "sleeping pills"..
U can try opiods(Tramadol..codeine..etc)once in a while(as d spirit directs) but u see anything "sleeping pills" especially any drug in the benzodiazepine family(diazepam..etc)...don't go there ooo
Those shit wreck the brain... especially when u quit em...

Ok

Tell her to Stop taking the drugs.
Step by step wins the race.

Try finding out why she started taking sleeps, and from there you might find ways in helping her

I see nairalanders throwing funny comments up and down and at the end no answer to the question at hand...

The thing is, you don't know the opportunity all privilege you have when you are able to close your eyes and sleep easily...

A lot of people are going through difficulty in sleeping I inclusive sometimes.

You don't know what it means for you to lay down for hours trying to sleep but the sleep never comes...

If you have ever ever been in that shoes then you would understand the plight of the Op's girlfriend...

To the Op,

You need this 3 things to deal with this:

1. Reason for her sleep difficulty. ( May be nightmares, unhealthy sleeping habits, etc )
2. Patience during solution/healing process (it's going to take long to heal).
3. Your time and presence...

Natural healing who take longer time, the right food supplement would hasten natural healing by 50%.

For those who understands consistent profits...
