come up with a nightime routine and stick with it...
take a hot shower or bath and lie down. watch tv or read a book.
avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine an hour before bed and don't do anything strenous or overly active-it will increase your heartrate and blood pressure which can cause you to stay awake longer
if you have to-take tylenol pm or 1-2 25mg tablets of benadryl-these are non habit forming and will help you sleep

Sleep Tips
- Because so many people get insomnia, there has been a lot of research done on how to beat it. Lucky for you, right? Not all of these tips work for everyone, but one or two might help you.
- Write in a journal before you go to bed. This practice clears your mind so you won't have all those thoughts crowding your brain when you're trying to sleep.
- Sleep in a dark, comfortable room. Light signals your body that it's time to be awake, so you want to avoid it at night. But if you are really afraid of the dark, it's OK to try a dim night-light. And being hot and sweaty or shivering from the cold can easily keep you up.
- Don't sleep with a pet. This can be a tough habit to break, but your lovable dog or cat could be keeping you awake. As your pet cozies up to you or makes noise, it could wake you from a peaceful sleep. Try sleeping without your pet for a couple nights to see if you sleep better that way.
- Don't drink any caffeinated beverages (like soda or iced tea) after about 3:00 in the afternoon. Caffeine is a stimulant and might keep you awake.
- Don't exercise at night. Keep your exercise to earlier in the day - never within a couple hours of when you go to sleep.
- Once you're lying in bed, try a peaceful mind exercise. For instance, count backward from 100 with your eyes closed. By the time you get to 10 (yawn) we hope you'll feel very sleepy. And by 5, we hope you'll feel yourself drifting off ... 3, 2, 1, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

when you sleep, make sure the light is switched off.
do not think. try to close yor mind and just dream lightly and you will automatically go to sleep.
try to recollect some pleasant past memories lightly. you will not only get sleep properly but also get a dream on the same theme. or you can put light pleasant music which you can listen to and sleep automatically. if you dont feel to close your eyes even, then open your eyes wide and focus on something and donot close your eyes. wait untill water comes in your eyes. then you will be forced to close your eyes for atleast 5 minutes which can be used for getting sleep. just dont think. if you think your conscious mind would be kept active. so try to avoid thinking.

Don’t do mentally/ physically too taxing activities before you sleep. Just relax and you will find yourself sleeping in a twinkling of an eye =)

Take the TV out of the bedroom, and don't crawl in bed until you're dead tired.
