When studying at Jacobs, this is rarely the case…or it is even “desired”, but there are also people that get insomnia from staying up too many nights in a row or a mixed up biorhythm.

Germany:

A glass of warm milk, warm water with sugar

Milk contains Tryptophan and after some chemical reactions this turns into

melatonin which is a sleep-inducing chemical

Other Cures:

Avoid working in bed, the work and sleeping space needs to be separate

A warm/hot shower

Breathing techniques – breathe deeply in and out to divert your mind from stress

and problems

If all of the above do not work, try counting sheep or whatever your favorite animal may be…and if that does not suffice either, see a doctor or the counselor to deal with your continuous unrest.
