I have no problem falling asleep, or staying asleep. This is just some, "tips" to make sleeping more comfortable and whatnot.
Just little things like someone told me to use a pillow under my feet aswell and that was pretty cool. So if you have anything else plz share.

Buy some good quality lavender oil, sprinkle some on your pillow. Smells wonderful and lavender is known to relax you. Also, make sure you wash your bedding weekly in hot water, this cuts down on dust mites which can cause problems. A bedroom should not be warm, but a little bit cool for optimal sleep. If you have the heater going during the night, make sure you have some humidity too so the air won't be really dry and dry out your sinuses (making way for germs and illness). Spend a little extra when you need bedding, get good quality sheets (look for the thread count). Make sure your room is clean; dusting, airing out whenever possible, cleaning up clutter, is very important. It should be just for sleep, not for working. Sweet dreams...zzzzzzz

Are you drinking coffee or sodas? Cut it out. Drink plenty of water. If you are above 35 you might be low in progesterone see source. Do you watch TV at night? Cut it out...to much negativity and action. Raises your adrenaline levels...Do EFT see source.
Is something bothering you...Write and see if your conscience is of? Correct it... If you can not seep do something fun and the next night you will be so tired that you will sleep better. See if you have a negative attitude about “I can not sleep”…It is called self full- filling prophecies....Exercise...take a walk enjoy your life. Visualize yourself sleeping and do deep slow breath and count to 20. You can do it. Good luck.
