Help!!! how to fall asleep???

My best way is to say to myself it´s not insomnia. Then I choose a rather bad movie at the TV and cuddle in the bed. Many times I have waken up with the TV on and the lights on my eyes. .
How about talking to a doctor? There are pills for that.

Or you could try a glass of orange juice warmed in the microwave with one tea spoon of honey stirred in after. Drink and you should nod off fairly fast.

I used to have trouble falling asleep which isn't a good thing because I'm a student. What I do is take a hot shower. I lie down on my stomach and read or study for school. I end up falling asleep. Sometimes I don't need to do that anymore because with my schedule right now, I use up much energy during the day. So my secret is kind of being active, using up energy. So that when I come home feeling tired, sleeping for me isn't a problem.

Besides those, I just lie down and close my eyes. Sometimes I'd cover my face with a pillow, hehe. I think maybe being active during the day will help you. Getting tired is the only way I can think of. Maybe exercise, physically and mentally. Or get a massage. What makes you sleepy anyway?:)

You can visit your doctor and ask for good sleeping pills if all else fails..

There are a couple of things that you can do to help you to fall asleep. First of all, you need to keep the same schedule every day...go to bed at the same time and get up at around the same time. Some light exercise in the early evening will leave you feeling relaxed and taking a hot shower will also help. Drinking warm milk helps but make sure that you don't eat or drink anything with caffine in it after dinner. When you do go to bed don't worry about falling asleep because that will stress you out. Close your eyes and imagine a relaxing place that you enjoy...picture it in your mind. Let your mind wander around this place and you should fall asleep. Everyone has trouble sleeping from time to time but, if your problem continues for a long period of time, you should see a doctor. Michael Jackson was an extreme case. There is medication that is safe.

NyQuil works pretty well..

Falling asleep can be hard to do especially if you are very stressed out. Somethign that you can do to calm down is the have a break for half an hour right before you go to bed. You can read a book or have a shower. Just don't go on the computer or watch television. When you are lying in bed shut your eyes and count down from one hundred. Once you get to zero count back up to one hundred. The point is to keep you mind blank and only focus on the numbers. If you think about anything else other then the nubmers then go back to one hundred and count down. Good luck.

Also, try not to eat too much before you go to bed. If you eat lots of food before going to bed then you will get an energy rush.

I don't have insomnia but I am a night owl. Normally I don't sleep early at night. But if I need to lay down my head after that, I can sleep with ease. I think a glass of cold water before bed can help. I always feel sleepy after drinking one. They it also help if you meditate and clear you mind. That way you'll feel more relax and able to sleep well.

You can listen to the radio and music,or read a book before going to bed.Yes, I have been doing so,It is not half bad! After that, you can also take exercise .

dont skip ur mind to several directions. try to focus ur concentration at one point wether at work or studies. dont take some hard food 2 hours before going to bed.try to sleep very early. i hope this may bring some improvement to you.
