First go to your doctor to be certain there is not a medical reason why this is happening. Also, depression can cause this. Sometimes I take Tylenol PM and it really helps. I would not turn to prescription medication unless nothing else works. Also, try not to eat for two to three hours before going to bed. Don't consume anything that has caffeine in it.

There are a number of types of things you could do.
1) Take a hot bath with 2 cups of Epsom salts added and soak for twenty minutes.
2)Drink a strong cup of passionflower, hops, or chamomile tea 30 minutes before bed.These types of teas need to be steeped for at least ten minutes. preferably covered and don't skimp on the amount of herb.
3)Use Valerian root extract, available in health food stores, 2 droppersful before bedtime.
of these 3 choices I would first choose 1...2...3
Sweet Dreams!!

This may sound strange, but close your eyes and get your self breathing at a steady pace. Now while your eyes are closed, inhale and think of one side of a triangle...as you exhale think of the second side and when you inhale again...close the triangle. You will be sleeping by the time you are done....just make sure your body is relaxed and really think about breathing steady.
