Answer 1

...lol...

Organizing your life so you get the highest quality sleep possible is well worth the effort. And quantity doesn't necessarily equal quality: You may sleep for many hours, but if your sleep isn't deep enough, or if your sleep cycle is disturbed, you may still be at greater risk for illness. A simple way to gauge the quality of your sleep is to see how refreshed you feel when you wake up.

Five Keys to Optimal Sleep

* Rise and shine. Spending a few minutes in the early morning sun helps your biological clock align itself with the cycles of nature. Bright morning light stimulates the release of serotonin, the hormone of wakefulness, and helps the brain reduce levels of melatonin, the sleep hormone.
* Have your evening meal early. Finish your evening meal by 6 or 6:30 p.m. so your body's digestive processes can be at rest when you go to bed. If you need to change your meal times earlier in the day to do this, then work backward accordingly.
* Go to bed at 10 p.m. Your body was designed to sync with the cycles of nature -- including daylight and darkness -- with the optimal time for sleep falling between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. If you're in the habit of staying up much later than 10 p.m., begin getting up progressively earlier by a few minutes each morning, over several days. This will make it easier to go to bed earlier in the evening until you reach your target.
* Reduce stimulants. If you find it difficult to get to sleep around 10 p.m., try cutting stimulants out of your diet - particularly caffeine products like coffee, chocolate and black tea - even in the morning. These take a long time to be eliminated from your body, and their effects can linger into the evening.
* Quiet your mind. If your body is tired but your mind is active, try meditation or prayer. But don't make it hard work -- use a simple and gentle form, such as repetition of a thought or phrase, or just focus on following your breath in and out. Relaxation music is another excellent way to soothe an anxious or active mind.

.....good night. i hope you'll be able to sleep soon and get your rest :)

Answer 3

Tylenol PM if you want some Acetaminophen in your diet. Other wise, just take 2 benadryl, or the generic equivalent (diphenahydramine HCL). Guaranteed that the benadryl will knock you out. Otherwise, run a mile and then take a shower and then sleep will come really easy.
