What are some helpful ways to get yourself to fall asleep?

Question

I can't sleep. I've laid in bed for couple of hours staying still, then tossing and turning. What makes you sleepy? It's 1:07 a.m., and I couldn't sleep.

Answer 1

Reading. Go over to project Gutenberg if you don't have anything appropriate handy and get one of those wordy old classics by Charles Dickens or Jane Austen.

Answer 2

Buy a pair of bar magnets. Say 2 or 3 inches in length.
The material should preferebly be 'alnico' steel. If you do
not get it, any strong magnets will do.

Put one magnet on your bed one foot (12 inches) away
from your feet. Put the other one foot away from your
head. Keep rotating these magnets by 90 degrees every
three minutes.

If you do not have the above specified space on your bed,
you can put the magnets on some tables.

This works on most of the days when your mind is normal.
If you are very worried on some day, use this technique only
on such a day.

Put a few grains of white rice under the magnets.

Answer 3

Philosophical? You need to not associate your bedroom with anything other than sleep and sex.
1. Don't eat in your bedroom
2. Don't watch TV in your bedroom.
3. Try perhaps ambient sounds or music to help drown out the outside or hourly noises. This creates your own world as your mind dozes off.
4. No booze.
5. Allow yourself at least two hours to relax. Today's issues are done. Tomorrow is along way away now...
And for gods sake exercise. Play golf... Tennis... Play...

Answer 5

If you have unresolved problems you may have difficulty sleeping so learn to separate problems into 2 categories things you can change and things you cannot then dismiss those you cant change and form a plan to resolve the ones you can. If you do not have any problems then I suggest exercise and avoiding food before bed.
