Do visualization. Focus all your attention on your toes or visualize walking down an endless stairwell. Thinking about repetitive or mindless things will help your brain to shut down and adjust to sleep.
Get out of bed if unable to sleep. Don’t lie in bed awake. Go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel sleepy. Worrying about falling asleep actually keeps many people awake.
Don't do anything stimulating. Don't read anything job related or watch a stimulating TV program (commercials and news shows tend to be alerting). Don't expose yourself to bright light. The light gives cues to your brain that it is time to wake up.
Get up and eat some turkey. Turkey contains tryptophan, a major building block for making serotonin, a neurotransmitter, which sends messages between nerve cells and causes feelings of sleepiness. Eating foods containing tryptophan raise the levels of serotonin produced in the body, which in turn increase a person's feeling of sleepiness. It is best to eat tryptophan on an empty stomach. Other foods, besides turkey, that contain a notable amount of tryptophan are: milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, ice cream, chicken, cashews, soy beans and tuna.
Consider changing your bedtime. If you are experiencing sleeplessness or insomnia consistently, think about going to bed later so that the time you spend in bed is spent sleeping. If you are only getting five hours of sleep at night, figure out what time you need to get up and subtract five hours (for example, if you want to get up at 6:00 am, go to bed at 1:00 am). This may seem counterproductive and, at first, you may be depriving yourself of some sleep, but it can help train your body to sleep consistently while in bed. When you are spending all of your time in bed sleeping, you can gradually sleep more, by adding 15 minutes at a time.
Thanks Noah.

Yeah, me too. Hm. What to share? nicely, my boyfriend and that i are not doing so nicely :( we've been jointly for almost 10 months, and issues are immediately falling aside. i'm very unhappy, and that's probable why i won't have the ability to sleep. some thing a sprint lighter, on the information the different day, the site visitors reporter became into like, "there is an twist of fate on ninety 5, delays on 288, and on o.ok.highway, there's a back up via fact...um...a poultry is making an attempt to circulate the line." The reporter could no longer say it with a immediately face. It became into humorous :)

Try counting backwards,slowly, from 100 (99,98,etc)--clears the brain....also for future sleepness nights, buy some Valerian Root
(herbal) available at most pharmacies.....the Rx Drug Valium
is based from this compound--safe to use as directed, and U will wake up feeling rested.

You could:
1)open the yellow pages and read the numbers and try to learn 200 numbers, address and name...
2) read the encyclopedia or a dictionary
It worked for me...

You're going to have to take emergency measures. Warm milk and a couple of sleeping pills. Knock you right out.
Night-night.

Imagine with your eyes closed the one thing which you had always wanted to do-perhaps proposing your dream man (in case you are not married) or going out for that dream vacation or getting success in your dream job. You will soon find that you have actually passed into dreams.
