Cannot sleep in one particular room but other rooms are fine. Why?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I need help or advice. Recently I have moved to a new room and since then I suffer from insomnia. It takes me around 3 or 4 hours to fall asleep, and usually I manage to get a deep sleep only around 4 am (I go to sleep at 12 in the night and should wake up to go to work at 8 am). Sometimes I'm in a half sleep until 4 am. 

Before this, I slept in another room and even different flats and everything was perfectly fine. Whenever I go home for the weekend I sleep perfectly fine. I took a night bus and no problem. It seems the problem is only specific to this room. I had a similar problem a year ago in another flat I used to live, but I thought it was too loud and moved out. 

I drunk chamomile tea, I don’t use computer or phones after 7 pm, I took sleeping pills with Valerian or Melanin (nothing) and stronger (they work if I take two, but I feel terrible the day after). And, I tried going to sleep earlier (9 or 10 pm) and this doesn't change anything. I do a lot of sports (running twice a week, yoga three times and cycle every day to work around 10km). I eat very healthy (home-cooked meals, no coffee, tea, sugar or cheese). I am not stressed or in any way agitated. I air and clean my room regularly, it is quiet and dark. I tried to sleep with earplugs and face mask to no relief. My friends have no problems sleeping in my room. 

The doctor cannot find the reason behind it and I have a contract signed for another 6 months and cannot exit it without paying a high fee sad

    Hi Marta, when you are in this room which way does your bed face? Is it the same way round as places where you can sleep. It might be worth just moving it around, if possible, to see if this changes things for you. I have heard about this before, and notice when I am away, some hotel rooms are difficult to sleep in.

      I already thought about it and moved the bed around my room, as well as tried all 4 directions (North, South, West, East). Nothing changed. Thank you for advice though!
