Last night, I've been awake for 2 hours even though I;m already lying in my bed. I keep on changing position just to let my self be drowned in sleepiness but unfortunately I didn't. My eyes are so tired but my mind keep on working. This is not my usual way of sleeping. Most of the time, when I lay down on my bed, i immediately fallen asleep but last night, I really can't. I think I have an insomnia last night. For those of you who experienced what i feel last night, what did you guys do to easily fall asleep?

I seem to have insomnia a lot. I never fall asleep fast. It usually takes me between 1 and 2 hours to fall asleep. Sometimes I can't fall asleep at all and my mom makes me take a sleeping pill and that usually works. But the other night that didn't even work. Sometimes I wake up only and I only have gotten an hour of sleep. I hate it and I really don't have a method for getting to sleep either. I have tried counting sheep, noise machines, and focusing on my breathing. Nothing seems to work.

Sometimes it is hard for me to fall asleep if i am depressed. What i did is drink milk,half bath with lukewarm water and take vitamins before going to bed. Doing this helps us to feel comfortable and relaxed. In addition,it's better to think positive, and do not think of your problem and the things that bothering your mind if you are in bed.

I tried reading a book, especially the novels that's not really interesting for me. I get bored and dizzy after wards.

I think of positive experiences or funny incidents that happened that day or flattering memories with the family, that makes me smile. After a while I pray that makes me close my eyes and fall asleep.

there are really times when I have trouble sleeping. Most of these times, I have something bothering me or something that made me excited...I turn off the lights to keep the room dark.
