Oh well, I toss and turn last night for while, until 12:30 A.M. in the morning I guess, I don't even know when I fall asleep though. I just remember that I go to bed around 10:00 P.M. but I couldn't fall asleep instantly, so I just get up and pick a book randomly from the bookcase, and sit on my bed read for while. I was yawning for while, a bit cold, after 2 hours of reading, I actually turn off the light, and try to get myself asleep. Well, it actually works. All I have to do just make my brain exhausted, and my eyes tired of reading.

I could testify to that when I am facing with too much things worry me and my mind keep wondering. It really worry me, when i try hard to think to sleep and forget all the person or things which bother me.But they still could find a place in my mind, occupying and so i waste precious hours trying to get rid of them such as changing sleeping position or tiring my eyes watching movies of television series non-stop. Still, I could not sleep. Some home treatment work for me and in some cases it may be depending on the kind of situation which gives a lot of stress.Some is just mild so they are eventually curable. Some tricks or remedy work depending on each person needs while some fail. then a lot of try, until one could find the best remedy.

Hi. kingparker. Sometimes, I find it hard to sleep at times too. I bought this Sentry radio. When I can't go back to sleep once I wake up, I will turn my radio on so that I can sleep. It works too.

Hey king parker, Good seeing you making discussions well yeah my sleepless nights are like 4-5 times worst then your sometimes i fig myself trying to go to sleep. Just seems like my brain or my mind is just thinking about everything. I end up staying up till 4-5 in the morning when I am on MYLOT daily sometimes on a normal basis I fall asleep around 2-2:30am that's normal for me but yeah I wake up at 10am every day around that time just noraml for me haha. I have very bad sleepless nights and wish i could fix it sometimes but yeah nothing i can do. Right now I'm working out and bought me some weights and so that might help me get my body tired and go to sleep at night.

Reading does work for me too but sometimes after being on the computer for the whole day, i would not want another strain on my eyes so i just keep closing my eyes until i fall asleep.
