Having a warm shower help some people.
Go to bed regularly.

Answer 2

I feel for you, I really do. I've been there! I've done all everyone here has suggested, no caffeine, set a routine, all that other good stuff but none of it worked. Every time I would lie down, my mind would switch on and I just couldn't sleep, no matter how exhausted I was.

Then I found the greatest! thing ever! Melatonin. This one is in pill form (as opposed to the guy who did the liquid), and it works so fast and it leaves you waking up feeling not that drowsey if you've had enough sleep.

The best part about this is it's natural and it's safe. Go to your local health food store and check it out. (Wow, I sound like a salesman.) But seriously, I swear by this stuff. I'm using the 3 mg tablets at the moment, and if I don't want to be knocked out for 8+ hrs, just want to go to sleep, I take half a pill.

As I said, I swear by it. Good luck!

Answer 3

I prefer the exhaustion method because not only do you fall asleep extremely quickly you also stay asleep, deeply asleep for a long time.

All you do is stay up until you are too tired to move and all you can think about is sleep. It doesn't matter what you do, TV, video games, AIM, reading, HW, etc. all that matters is you do it until the wee hours of the morning and when you do go to bed you'll sleep great.

People initially think that they'll just be tired the next day, which probably will happen, but then you'll be exhausted that much earlier the next day and you'll sleep well again. This puts your body back on the right schedule.

Answer 4

Are you having sleeping problems tonight or always? As far as tonight is concern, a full stomack and a dark room with classical style music generally works.
If it is a nightly problem then there are other alternatives. do not drink cafeine 8 hours before bedtime. Do not eat anything with sugar 4 hours before bed and 4-6 hours before bed exercise for atleast 25 minutes. This seems like a lot but it becomes routine and trains your body to want sleep at a certain time.
If this doesn't work talk to your healthcare provider, it could be due to a medication you are taking or you could have a sleep disorder. Anxiety can also cause this to happen.
Good luck.

Answer 5

The quick and dirty way:
Buy some liquid melatonin at a health food store. Take the suggested amount...maybe a few drops...about thirty minutes before you go to bed. It has to be pretty well absorbed into your bloodstream before you lay down. In general, it will now take approximately 20 minutes tops to fall asleep. (This works GREAT for eastbound jet lag)

The save money way:
The whole idea behind "counting sheep" is to actually VISUALIZE the sheep (or whatever you choose to go past you...) and also COUNT them. The visualizing stimulates one part of your brain, the counting stimulates another, and it is the double effort that will cause you to lose focus and fall asleep. I rarely do it since I don't have problems falling asleep but I swear to God, I can NEVER get past the 14th sheep or whatever before I'm like dizzy and losing my train of thought...and I just fall asleep.

Answer 6

1. No caffeine after lunch.
2. Check your bed. Is it really comfortable?
3. Don't exercise within 2 hours of going to bed.
4. Don't read in bed. Just sleep and sex.
5. Get a routine for going to bed and follow it each night.
6. Do some deep breathing/exhaling exercises before going to sleep.
7. No light sources in your bedroom. Keep it dark.

Good luck.

Answer 7

Get into a routine, such as
Have somthing to eat 2 hours before bed,
Have a bath before bed
go to bed at the same time every night.
Importantly, GET UP out of bed the same time every day, however much sleep you have had as this will set you body clock into realising that say between 11pm and 8am its time to sleep. the first few days may be tough but keep trying

Answer 8

OK, on the serious side..try the stretch and relax method.
Start with your neck and work your way down to your toes. 1.Turn your neck back and forth,up and down,relax. ( on following use 2 count.) 2.roll your shoulders forward and back,relax. 3.hold your arms out straight and tight, drop gently by your side, relax. 4.tighten your stomach muscles and release,relax. 5.hold your legs straight and tight,gently release, relax. 6.move ankles side to side,relax. 7.stretch your feet up and down,relax. 8.take a deep breath, release,relax. 9.close your eyes,think about nothing but the last 8 steps you've just taken, feel,and enjoy all of your relaxed muscles. This may not allow you to go to sleep the first time try again, make this a routine every night. It works.

Answer 9

I find 20ml of night nurse really does the trick if I cannot get off but normally going to bed in a dark cool room and think of nothing usually gets me to sleep in about 1 minute.

Answer 10

well you could get off the computer shut off the t.v. maybe keep one little light on so you could see a little bit and then just keep your eyes closed and dont krink coffee or anything with cafine or a lot of sugar and you should most likely fall asleep any time!!!!so go try and if it dont work then just find somthing to do till you get tired
