How can I fall asleep faster without taking any medications?

Question

I can't fall asleep sometime because I wake up late and I'm not ready to sleep.

Answer 1

Here's a few tips. Set a rigid sleep schedule seven days a week. If that's not possible then go to bed only when you're sleepy. Try & set aside some "quiet time" before bed. Don't turn your bed into an office or a den. Create a comfortable sleep setting. Avoid stimulants after twilight. Coffee, colas, and even chocolate contain caffeine. Say no to the nightcap. Question your medication. Examine your work schedule. Eat a light snack before bedtime. Bread and fruit will do nicely an hour or two before you hit the hay. So will a glass of warm milk. Avoid sugary snacks that can excite your system or heavy meals that can stress your body. Learn and practice relaxation techniques. Get some exercise late in the afternoon or early in the evening - a walk around the block is fine. Take a warm bath.

Answer 2

Drink a small glass of warm milk. Lay down on your bed get comfortable, close your eyes and take a really deep breath in then let it out slowly, repeat about 5 times. As you breath out say to your self over and over "I am sooo Tired"
