Answer 1

pretend it's morning and the alarm just went off and you just hit the snooze button. i never fall asleep faster than when i'm looking forward to those extra 10 minutes of sleep!

Answer 2

completely stop drinking cafiene and stop taking naps. drink lots of water and eat a healthy diet. the food you eat can really effect your sleeping patterns. f you eat a lot of junk food, sleeping can become difficult. When you take hour naps during the day, you may be confusing your body. Go to bed and stay in bed, wether you fall asleep or not, keep a sleeping schedule. Also, try and wake up at the same time. If you give your body what it needs during the day and a schedule to follow, sleeping may become easier. If not, talk to your doctor. I wouldn't try sleeping drugs though, becuase they have a high risk of dependeny.

Answer 3

Well, keep up with a regular sleeping cycle for one thing, do regular work out is another. When you can not fall asleep, do not force yourself. Even get out of the bed until you can fall asleep. Also, you can do a same regular routine before bed time such as read a novel, brush teeth, something to let your body know (condition) for sleep time. Oh, one more thing, what works good for me is drink herb tea at bed time.

Answer 4

Try not to eat anything sweet before bed, also try a hot bath before bed or and reading a book. If that doesn't help, try some over the counter sleep aids. I just bought my insomniac husband Uni-som extra strenght and that seems to work right now. If problem persists, see your doc. there may be a problem or at least you'll get an rx of like lunesta or something.

Answer 5

Sleep for 30-45 minutes. It could be that your body thinks your having to much rest. Limit the amount of caffeine you consume. Cause if you drink too much, even if it is before 4pm, you can still have the stuff in your system and it will cause you to stay up all night.

Answer 6

Know the problem well, dude.

The best help I have had came from the book called: The Hibernation Diet. Check out the link below.

Although this book is aimed at the weight management problem, what I learned about "recovery mode" and all the hormones associated with getting out of 'fight and flight' mode is helping me turn my life around.

Answer 7

Take some over the counter Melatonin 1-3 MG...it is very safe...a natural supplement. Or take Sleep N' Restore another natural sleeping aid.

Answer 8

watching tv before i go to bed makes it hard for me to fall asleep. turn all the lights out except for 1 or 2 so that it is dim at least for 30 min before you go to bed--this kinda calms you down. also, chamomile tea helps some people fall asleep--might help you.

Answer 9

I would suggest that you dont take naps. I would also suggest that you start writing down the times that you start to feel your sleepiest. I find that I get my best sleep from 1am to 6am.
