I go on holiday on the 16th July and always have dreadful trouble sleeping in strange places (i take things like my own pillow to try to help, but it doesn’t).
Could i get away with drinking alcohol during the day (up to 2 hours before bed) then drink at least a pint of water and take a herbal sleeping aid? would it be safe?
Plus i can’t swallow tablets (i even struggle with really tiny ones. i normally crush them, i noticed you can’t do this to kalms) is there any herbal sleeping tablets i CAN crush? plus what about tea’s or syrup? are there any and are they any good? help!
This depends on a lot of factors.
You need to look at the ingredients in the sleeping aid and check them for reactions with alcohol or any other medication you might be taking. One excellent site is www.healthyhealing.com.
I would recommend refraining from much alcohol use as it can contribute to your feelings of anxiety and agitation.
Many herbs can be obtained in an extract (liquid) form either with alcohol as the agent or glycerine. You might want to investigate that option as well. I used CalmChild by Planetary Formulas when my children used to have trouble because they would get wound up once in a while.
Other suggestions:
Try and set as much of a routine as you can … even if you travel on your holidays … get up at the same time eat at the same time, go to sleep… try and stay as close to normal home as possible.
Maybe incorporate a nighttime tea time into your routine. There are many herbal teas which can be calming. (stay away from black teas which contain caffeine if you have issues with caffeine). A nice cup of tea and a book or magazine can help relax your mind to let you drift away.
Look into the possibility of a relaxation tape or CD you could bring with you. Test it out before you go.
Investigate whether you MIGHT (keyword might) be able to use melatonin or 5-HTP to help. Lack of Serotonin can cause sleep issues.
Get alot of physical movement — walk, ride a bike, etc and be outside.
Get sun (but stay protected).
hope this helps.

Your problem is experienced by many and you need not afraid of.
Nobody should drink alcohol during the day. You can have it with or before dinner. Two hours after dinner you can have a glass of milk with some good dry fruits.
You should avoid too much water. It can spoil your sleep.

Tea helps me fall asleep faster so you should try it but make sure it’s a kind of tea with no cafeine in it. I suggest you make your own tea with herbs such as mint and others.

One thought though …
Many herbs are prepared as a tincture … which is the herb soaked in alcohol!!!!!
Enjoy your holiday,

yeah you can because as long as it is a herbal tablet it is ok because it is made out of natural ingredients, so you should be ok.

Alcohol is no help anyway, so I would not drink any.
It could also interact with your remedy and cause you serious side effects.

i am all for alternative medicine. but, on this one i would skip the herbs ( unless it was cannabis ), take a good shot of everclear and lay down. sweet dreams.

I can’t swallow tablets either. Try chewing up a cracker and putting the pill in your mouth with the food. This fools your throat because you cannot feel the pill even when it is whole.

Experience.
alcohol and any kind of med whether it be perscribed or over the counter should not i repeat not taken with alcohol. even drinking a pint of water is still going to leave the alcohol in your system.

There is not enough evidence to support the consumption of alcohol with herbal medications to be safe.using the same routine you use at home may help. Take 25-50mg of liquid benadryl without alcohol may help. Eating a high carbohydrate supper or food rich in tryptophan help some(like tuna or turkey). Read a book prior to sleeping. Regular exercise helps. Use your good judgment

maybe if you drink enough beer you don’t need the pills

True it's a lot of work. Don't really get rich doing it but the money is good I suppose. If you like to chase women even in a "balanced" fashion probably not the right attitude to have. Alcohol, really getting frowned upon more and more by the military period let alone the Army. That's my take on it and as a Sergeant I hope he isn't teaching his soldiers this kind of attitude either, a good work ethic and live within your means and let it go at that by leaving your personal vices out of it.

That was really very helpful. You're good at explaining science. I think you should do one about the sun. Or stars in general
I’m not a Christian, but I am a conductor, I’ve done many a ‘songs of praise’ in many places…this great hymn has been consistently included in the repertoire, not by my choice but in every community I have been to. Clearly it is testimony to CW for the greatness of not only his music but also of his devotion.

"¿Algo para tomar?" would be super colloquial
If you want something more formal "¿Que querría tomar usted?"
Do you spend a lot of time with your left elbow propped up on a desk, for example? Like, is your keyboard up higher than your desk level, causing you to rest your elbows on something, or do you prop your chin up with your hand while the arm rests on a table? If so, you're experiencing something called pressure neuropathy, which sounds really scary, but is actually just the pressure on the ulnar nerve (outer edge of the arm, stretching from the elbow) causing the sensation. It's normal and not a sign of anything bad.
I had this earlier this summer and was very concerned, but I consulted a doctor and that was the answer he gave me. Once I became conscious of what was causing the problem, I stopped putting pressure on my elbow and it stopped. Hope this helps. =)
