Reduce the Worry Factor.
We have to convince ourselves that, unless we are able and willing to get up and fix the problem at 2 o'clock in the morning, we should probably just try to get enough rest to attack the problem with energy the following day. If you fit this category, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and focus your thoughts on something pleasant.

Try Some Tryptophan. You know how easy it is to fall asleep after that big meal on Thanksgiving? The turkey you ate contains a naturally-occurring chemical called tryptophan, which triggers the brain to crave sleep. Try keeping some turkey lunchmeat in the refrigerator, and nibble on a slice or two about an hour before bed time. Another great pre-bedtime snack is a glass of warm milk that has been sweetened with honey. If you try these two foods, make sure they are reasonably small portions. Going to bed immediately after eating a large meal or a lot of snack foods can be another reason you aren't falling to sleep right away. This rule also applies to beverages, since having to get out of bed and relieve a full bladder at 3:30 AM obviously interrupts the sleep you are working so hard to get.

3. Time Your Work-Out.
If you have trouble getting to sleep, try exercising in the morning before leaving the house. Even if that is not possible, it would be better to conduct your work-out at least a few hours prior to bedtime.

4. Avoid Evening Caffeine.

5. Avoid Daytime Naps. There are many who believe that a "power nap" in the middle of the day helps keep you fresh for late-day activities. But when falling asleep at bedtime is your problem, being tired late in the day is a real blessing. Daytime naps might be enjoyable, but if they are only 10 or 15 minutes long, it is not likely that they are providing the deep sleep that your body really needs the most.

These home-spun methods can be very effective when the lack of sleep is an occasional problem. If insomnia is a continuous problem, however, you should definitely consult your primary care medical physician. Trouble falling asleep and the weary days that follow may be the symptoms of some greater health issue, including such problems as sleep apnea. Your doctor may prescribe a short-term trial of medication, or may suggest an evaluation at a clinic where your sleep patterns can be thoroughly assessed.

Answer 2

the most important thing to do in order to help you sleep is to calm down. about an hour before your bedtime (and keep the same bedtime each night), turn off the tv, the computer, radio etc and turn down the lights. take a warm bath or shower, have a cup of tea or warm milk, and cuddle up in bed with a book. if your mind is racing or your upset about something, choose a calming word to say over and over in your head, like 'rest' or 'calm' or whatever works for you. no matter what is upsetting you, it won't get better unless you get a good night's sleep.

another thing that might help: as you go through your day and encounter problems, ask yourself, "is this a problem i can solve? is it my responsibility to solve it?" if the answer is no, drop it. mulling over a problem that is not your business just adds stress which decreases sleep quality.

good luck!

Answer 3

No-one teaches us to sleep properly when we are young and thats the problem. Modern society seems to push pills as the answer..when its often not the case at all.

Sleeping is all to do with the brain, and sometimes people brains need retraining to go into "deep sleep" so you feel like you haven't been awake all night.

Loads of info about can be found at the website below and they also sell a guide on it. No hypnosis, no drugs or herbs, it really quite amazing and it works.

Answer 4

Why do you think you can't sleep? Are you taking any stimulants shortly before going to bed - e.g. caffeine in tea/ coffee

Are you stressed out?

Drink a warm milky drink and eat 2 bananas at night. They both contain tryptophan with is converted into serotonin. It should help to make you sleep more easily.

Answer 5

use any of the aspirin that end in PM that pm is an aid to make you sleep.
like Tylenol pm Excedrin pm (my favorite because it has a little more sleep aid then the Tylenol. i take two every night and have had no aftereffects in the morning.
don't know if you consider that a drug or not it's not a prescription.
take them several hours before you plan to retire.
happy dreams.

Answer 6

There are great over the counter products that will do the trick. One I find to be very good is Tylenol PM however most any brand has PM versions. A sure fire remedy is a session of hot n heavy sex just before you want to sleep. Believe me it works!

Answer 7

Sleeplessness is often the result of unnecessary stress. A great solution to solving stress is to simply write out your problems along with possible solutions. Also, forgive everyone that's wronged you that day before you try to sleep, and make it a point to never go to bed angry.

Answer 8

Dont think about it too much, or it will just keep you awake.
find something to distract yourself, start reading a book or anything.

But make sure youre laying down, so when you get tired
just close your eyes and sleep!

Answer 9

They are normally very effective and not as bad as DIAZEPAM which made me feel groggy for the rest of the day. What you need to ask yourself is if you are prepared to take these for a long time otherwise you may just fall back into your irregular pattern.

Answer 10

try laying flat on your back, with your hand on your stomach, and concentrate on the movement of your hand...up with each inhale and down with each exhale. breathe deeply and slowly. try to imagine you're in the most peaceful place on earth. walking through the woods, sitting at a lake, staring at a campfire...just whatever relaxes you. keep your breathing deep and slow. if you get dizzy, breathe into your hands to restore the right carbon dioxide/oxygen ratio. try to keep focused on your breathing without obsessing. (that defeats the purpose) also, chamomile tea is very relaxing. i don't like to drink it, but just brewing some is enough to relax me.

good luck, and sweet dreams.
