It's 12:22 and I have to get up early tomorrow to do my friend's hair for a wedding and then work for 5 hours. I just can't fall asleep! I am looking for tips to fall asleep that I can do right here in my bedroom so as not to disturb my family. Are there any things I can do while lying in bed to fall asleep? Ex. Counting sheep? I will be choosing a best answer based on how quick I fall asleep! Thanks all! Any tips are appreciated!

You have to stop worrying yourself with tomorrow's plans. If you don't, your mind won't stop wondering. Think of yourself in the most beautiful place in the world. Imagine yourself there and let your body relax completely. Relaxation will make your body tired and calm your mind. You can turn up the AC or open a window. When your body temperature decreases or increases, you will definately fall asleep. Good night

First of all.....never take a nap during the day....im just saying, it will confused your sleeping system, if you really have to, take a max. of 1 1/2 hours, no more.
Second, if you cant sleep and you dont want to wake your family up, i suggest doing something very boring, it actually does help.
Counting Sheep is a possible thing that is very boring.......very, very,very,......boring. Anyway,
If you are very good at not waking your family up, i suggest drinking a nice cup of warm herbal tea w/ honey. That is what i do if i have trouble.

repeat a religious mantra over and over.
Here's one:
Ya-Raheeemmmm Ya-Raheeemmmm Ya-Raheeemmmm
It means (O Most Mericful Lord) in Arabic
Do it in your mind, not with your tongue.
It's done as a meditation and usually knocks the person out. It must be done for at least 20 minutes.
good luck

first thing is get off the computer.
turn off anything that is stimulating, ie, tv, radio, bright lights from alarm clocks...
then turn a fan on low... the hum will break any silence that sometimes makes it too hard to sleep thru.
Just clear ur mind and close ur eyes.
i sometimes think how great it feels to be in my comfy bed and how tired i am... thinking about sleeping makes me sleepy! lol
i hope u get the rest u need!

U could try a warm face towel over your eyes and breathe deep...and try and relax. If you haven't already, turn the tv and the lights off as well. You're probably just anxious.

read something boring that you're supposed to, but don't want to; works every time. many of the other answers are good, as well (warm milk, one glass or shot of alcohol - not necessarily mixed, but whatever - the gentle noise of a fan, if it won't disturb anyone, finally, progressive relaxation: http://www.guidetopsychology.com/pmr.htm).

You have your mind on too many other things. Try relaxing by taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly.
