Maintaining a sleep-conducive environment (quiet, cool, dark) can also help. the bedroom should be for sleep and sexual activities. Those who do not fall asleep within 15 minutes should get up leave the bedroom to engage in relaxing activities elsewhere and return to bed when drowsy. regular sleep schedule should be maintained.
How much sleep we need is very much an individual matter. 8 hours of sleep is good. if you sleep less than well, as long as you wake up without the feeling of irritability, my doctor said..its just alright.
the vast majority of cases which seems to be insomnia are benign and will yield to simple home remedies like the following:

a. milk before bedtime
b. a warm relaxing bath
c. a soothing cup of chamomile tea
d. no caffeine after 12 noon
e. good mattress
f. don't go to bed early. if you are one of the people need less sleep as you grow older, enjoy the extra time bonus
g. exercise but not close to bedtime
h. do not go to bed angry
i.learn to sleep without the radio and television on







TRY THIS ITS VERY EFFECTIVE

Deep physical relaxation can greatly enhance your ability to fall asleep when you want and to stay asleep once you are there. Follow these directions and you will become deeply relaxed. Lie down and get comfortable. Close your eyes and do some deep breathing to get rid of your surface tension. Next, visualize or imagine that you have tiny faucets at the end of each finger and at the end of each toe. The faucets are all turned on and all the stress and tension in your body is draining out through these faucets. Feel it happening as you watch the stress and tension running out of the faucets. Now, concentrate on your feet and imagine that the muscles of your feet are becoming as loose and limp as a cooked piece of spaghetti. Spend a few minutes focusing on your feet and let them relax. Don't try to make it happen. Focus on that cooked piece of spaghetti and just let your muscles go. They will relax. Next, concentrate on the muscles of your calves. Spend a few minutes there and let them relax. Then focus on your thighs and let them relax. Work up your body letting each part relax. Relax your buttocks, stomach, chest, back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, head and face. As you relax each successive part of your body, the next part will become easier to relax. Don't rush yourself. Focus on your muscles becoming just as loose and limp as that cooked piece of spaghetti. As you do, your body will drift into a deep state of physical relaxation. If you are not already asleep, you will be able to drift asleep at this point.

hope this will help you.

Changes in your sleep habits are a possible symptom of depression. You should get yourself checked out by a psychiatrist if this persists for a couple of weeks or more.

What helps me is making sure the temperature of the room is not too hot or too cold. You can also listen to relaxing music or simply think relaxing thoughts. I also find it helpful to write down things that I am thinking about so I won't have to worry about whether I'll remember them in the morning.

I hope you figure it out soon. Sweet dreams!

My husband hates the fact that I can just lay my head down and fall instantly to sleep. But it wasn't always that way...
Years ago I had an interest to learn about Astrial Projection.
The beginning of the book spoke about rythmic breathing. I found that this was an easy way to fall asleep fast.
Starting out,
Take in a deep breath, slowly. Count as you fill your lungs full of air. Then breath out slowly; counting double the amount it took you to breath in. Do this at a comfortable pace. You don't want to pass out.
The astrial projection never worked for me. but it did solve my problem with falling asleep.

Try reading a good book that takes you to a place you have never been. Read a book that you know will have a calming effect on you.

I could recommend some books if I knew your gender.

Check out a book from your local library. Ask the Librarian to recommend a good book.

Lavendar oils in an oil burner...it promotes relaxation. A hot bath and reading or watching a movie in bed always helps me.Also, invest in one of those foam underlays for your bed in case your mattress is a bit uncomfortable.....they are wonderful and cool in summer
