Camomile helps. And yes, many tea brands have camomile, including Twining Tea, Ahmad, Tetley and the rest of them. Go to any supermarket you'll find it for between 1200 -1700
Arelyn:
Having suffered from serious chronic insomnia due to work-time balance, I was reliant on sleeping pills to get 1-2 hours of decent sleep each night but the moment I discovered "Camomile Tea", I have been having decent 7-9 hours of sleep and my circadian rhythm returned to baseline after about a month

I don't know if you can get it in Nigeria but try to get her " Camomile Tea", and let her take 2bags each night. She may add honey or sweetener for taste.

It's a natural muscle relaxant so it has no side effects and it's very popular here for insomnia...

Listen Son, here's advice: THE 4-7-8 BREATHING METHOD
The 4-7-8 breathing technique requires a person to focus on taking a long, deep breath in and out. Rhythmic breathing is a core part of many meditation and yoga practices as it promotes relaxation.

the 4-7-8 breathing technique, can help with the following:
reducing anxiety
helping a person get to sleep
managing cravings
controlling or reducing anger responses

How to do it
Before starting the breathing pattern, adopt a comfortable sitting position and place the tip of the tongue on the tissue right behind the top front teeth.


To use the 4-7-8 technique, focus on the following breathing pattern:
empty the lungs of air
breathe in quietly through the nose for 4 seconds
hold the breath for a count of 7 seconds
exhale forcefully through the mouth, pursing the lips and making a “whoosh” sound, for 8 seconds
repeat the cycle up to 4 times


US Marines use this to fall asleep quickly even under pressure.

I use it too... It works...

Let her exercise if she can, it helps.
Alternatively, you can get her any video tutorial on programming (Java, Php, JavaScript etc), she must sleep as soon as she starts watching those videos.
Re: Help! Drug Is Ruining My Relationship by burgessdon(m): 11:19am On Jul 18, 2022

Re: Help! Drug Is Ruining My Relationship by Nobody: 11:31am On Jul 18, 2022
How to fall asleep fast, sleep deeper and for longer:
1. Working out daily, especially in the evening but not too late. Let her work herself till she is absolutely tired.
2. Always prepare for bedtime: shower before bed, make the bed and have a night routine
3. Avoid heavy meals at night or before bed
4. Drink teas, not beverages (I don't know if beverages work the same). Herb teas and green tea varieties like macha, raspberry, camomile, strawberry, lemon etc. Find the flavour you like but avoid the ones that have caffeine.
5. Make your bed smell nice
6. Pray before bed. Pray and hand over all worries to God ( or whatever you believe in). It helps a lot.
7. Reading novels, religious books, listening to soft music or audio books can also help, especially if you feel lonely at night.

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.
It is simple..

She should replace it with gbola addiction.

It will be a win win for both her and OP

Re: Help! Drug Is Ruining My Relationship by CaveAdullam: 12:03pm On Jul 18, 2022
1. Advise within and outside the intersexual dynamics (sexual relationship) always differs.

2. When it comes to sexual relationships women are blunt, smart, fast, and straightforward. They don't care if you are poor and broke. Or, a pedophile. Or, a rehab patient. In as much they are not getting what they want from you at the moment, they discard you. If you are not stable, they discard you. If you are not what they expect you to be, they don't blink their eyes twice, they discard you and fly away.

This is the reality. It is how women behave in sexual relationships. They won't come to your rescue or show great sympathy.

3. So, why should you care as a man? Why should you put yourself in a dilemma when it comes to women and their problems? Why should you bother yourself about the way she decides to live her life or the predicaments she's facing?

4. Men have that evolutionary instinct to help and rescue those that are weaker. Being the stronger sex with larger bones and muscles indicates dominance and protectiveness. Men protect women, children, and their territory. This is understandable from a biological point of view.

5. However, do these women worth it? Time and again, women have proven to be ingrates. They don't appreciate it. Even if they do, they are so grudgingly and quick about it. What you have done for them doesn't stay in their memory for long because they are far too emotional. They don't reciprocate. Your kindness aside from charity to them is a waste!

To clarify your mind properly there is a place called friendzone. Go there and see for yourself and you will understand better.

6. If what you are providing is not tangible and loud, forget it, you will constantly be denigrated. Ditto if you have challenges in providing.

7. Men are among ingrates. But they are far more appreciative than women. Better to help men than help women. It is gambling to help ingrates when they are in dire need, but a good stake is on men.

Help women through men connected to them.

You want to help a wife, help her husband. A girlfriend, help her boyfriend. Why? Because it is men's instinctual nature to help their own - women and kids. If you help a man, you have helped women and other men too.

8. If you deprive men of help, women will look for it themselves, and since they are independent in the search for help, they get consumed in the process.

The proliferation and avalanche of hook-up culture, prostitution, sexual depravity, and sexual liberation of women in search of money and a better life is a result of fathers, husbands, brothers, and uncles being deprived of help coupled with the poor economic and political situation on the ground.

When men are deprived of help, hope, and authority, everyone suffers. Women and children hardly passed this stage successfully. And even if they do, it is with painful and unnecessary scars.

Sorry, I digress.

9. This is the intersexual dynamics, and to be blunt, sincere, and truthful, you need to dump her. You cannot manage her long-term especially if she decides to veer off towards other drugs that can remedy her ailment. What you're experiencing now is but a trailer; the real movie has not started yet.

10. Dear friend, dump her and have peace of mind. That's what she will do if the case was reversed.

Ok.

What if she's my sister, mother, niece, cousin, or friend?

11. When adults decide to perform any action or behavior, it is difficult to change their minds especially if that behavior or action appeals to their senses and is deeply rooted.

Adults only change of their own volition with time or when they suffer greater harm or consequences. They can change too if there is a quid pro quo of incentives.

12. She must be shown the consequences of her actions through a medical report, maybe it will help her change her mind. She needs to know what's going on inside of her body.

13. The cause of her insomnia must be traced to the root and apprehended.

14. Visit a psychiatrist or neuroscientist for further and lasting help.

15. Search for an alternative help that's less or not harmful.

16. Tell her to choose between her pills and her relationship. If she fails, at least you know you have done your best and can end the relationship on a good note.

Thanks.

If someone is having sleepless nights and all, something is triggering her minds which makes her to bother her minds so much and be having sleepless nights, if that reason is still in the picture, nothing can stop the sleepless night, so she has to open up on what's really bothering her minds and try eliminate then she will have no reason to have sleepless nights over it.

It can be Depression
Anxiety disorder
Medical conditions or anything she's keeping to herself that she doesn't want to let out.

She needs just social help to return her sleeping system back

She may have passed through emotional issues that made her to loose sleep

Bad life experience that made her switch to drugs and other related issues

You attention and affection will bring out sleep naturally with love and care from you

That's a big lie, we all have addictions and its something we often do when idle to pass time, unless you don't get the meaning of addiction...

this is not just the normal addiction you know. She has terrible insomnia. She can't sleep without sleeping pills. If you deprive her of that and she fails to sleep for 3 straight days, she will have a severe form of withdrawal symptom like psychosis. Let her visit a psychiatrist. She has an organic issue depriving her of sleep.
Re: Help! Drug Is Ruining My Relationship by Healer007: 12:53pm On Jul 18, 2022
Probably she's frustrated by her sleep deficit and wants more sleep so she turns to drugs. Many people suffer from this too but I'd advise she turn instead to behavioural practices instead of taking medications. She can tune down the medications she takes and eventually stop taking them because sleep induced by sleeping pills do not have the quality as normal sleep.

Behavioural practices like:
1. Waking up and sleeping at roughly the same time everyday
2. 30mins+ morning sunlight viewing (any 30-40mins in the morning between 7am and 10am)
3. Turning off all lights after 10am (dark room triggers natural release of melatonin to aid better falling asleep)
4. Warm bath and cool room (temperature of the room should be generally low)
5. Avoiding caffeine and naps late in the day
and some others...

Here are major science proven ways to help get better sleep...

Awwn. How romantic. Marry her and be her sleeping pill. She can use your c** as her new addiction.

Don't listen to me oo. Bad advice cheesy
But seriously though, try and tackle the reason she started having insomnia. Its probably psychological. I think that can make things better.

Benzodiazepines AKA Sleeping tabs are tapered off. You don’t just stop taking them just like that, you gradually cut the drug over a length of time so as to give your body time to make adjustments. What she is having are withdrawal symptoms and they aren’t good for her. Look up tapering guides for the one she’s taking, the manufacturer should have one on their website.

When my blood pressure shot through the roof that was the symptom that triggered panic. Mehn! I almost ran mad. Me that will sleep within 5 mins of hitting the bed I turned to nightwatch man.
I have my BP under control and I have regained my ability to sleep without sedatives.
