I can't just lie there when I go to bed and wait to fall asleep. I am in the habit of reading any old rubbish I can find until I drop the book with tiredness. What do you do. Nothing rude please.

Unless I've been up late struggling to keep my eyes open then I too have to read for a while before getting to sleep.
Always like to take a nice cup of tea to bed too!

I cant go to sleep until I read a book...Find some good books rather than 'old rubbish'. And dont eat an apple (it can wake u more than caffeine) or drink coffee before bed....

Reading can make me sleepy, but I normally manage to fall asleep within 20 minutes without having to read.

Reading the Bible would be good too. Most of the time I just say a little prayer for you, for me and the whole humanity.
Secondly, I read some gardening books. It's refreshing.

I seem to be one of those lucky people who get to count the sheep before dropping off....and sometimes the cows, horses and other farm animals too!
I spent years doing a job requiring odd work patterns, frequently with 24hr call out, up 2 or 3 times a night every night for days or weeks!
basically it screwed me up and now i sleep when i need to and the normal 8 hours at night becomes 3, 5,12,4,5,9........catching up with the occasional 'crash'. i sleep when i'm tired, at normal nights i stare at the darkness! Its Fun..........try it sometime

Nobody falls asleep immediately. Try listening to some relaxing music or drinking some warm milk.

I sleep like a log..... as soon as my head touches the pillow I'm in another world! ( No i'm not on anything at all !! ) I just think tht if you try & keep your stress levels down & get done anything that has to be done before bedtime then you will be able to sleep soundly & wake up refreshed. Nite nite I'm off now

Depends on what i've been up to for the hour before bedtime... usually hit the pillow and i'm out for the count in 5 mins or less!

I suffer from insomnia and find it real hard to drop off , i have lost count of all the books that i have read thro this !! I find that reading something gives me time to unwind somewhat .....then hopefully i do drop off !
