If you are drinking anything with caffine or sugar in it after dinner you need to stop. Milk is a good choice to make you sleepy. Reading for a little while before you try to go to sleep can help you to relax and don't try to force yourself to go to bed too early because not being able to fall asleep can make you tense and that makes falling asleep harder. I hope this helps. I've had sleep problems for years and finally had to resort to prescription medication but that should only be a last resort.

Spalladino was right. I experienced it many times. Everytime I'm preparing my lesson plan , I always drink coffee just to stay my eyes open until I finish my work. Afte finishing all my work, the problem is my eyes are still wide awake. So, it's better to drink milk. Let's change our sleeping habit Leng. I read from Long's blog that one of the cause of liver failure is by sleeping late.

I generally have a very erratic sleep patterns, I tend to wake up at about the same time even without an alarm clock no matter time I go to bed, but when I am stressed or worried it takes longer so fall asleep even though I am tired and I do wake up several times during the night. When it gets too much that I really can't sleep, if I have a day off or on the weekend what I do is not to sleep unless I get sleepy and thus stay awake all night and not to sleep/nap during the day and then go to bed really early and normally I am so tired I fall asleep right away. THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. It works for me, if your sleep becomes really complicated and difficult the best advice is to go to a doctor. Simple things to help make a person sleep, are warm milk like has been mentioned - add a little honey if you like it it helps. Camomile tea is very relaxing, it's a natural sedative. A nice warm relaxing bath/shower before going to bed also helps.

Maybe u need a bottle of milk before you go to bed. Meanwhile, you can give your feet a massage, what my teacher told me once, and I find it works for me.

Leng I have that problem right now, I just post a discussion about my insomnia, last night I finally sleep at around 5:00am. I'm so sleepy but when I close my eyes I can't sleep. I dont know why, I don't drink coffee or anything has caffien in it! maybe I have health problems waaa, what I do is, I buy this spray pain reliever, I spray it on my head coz it gives a cooling sensation then mawala imo headache or I used salonpas, sometimes I have "kabuhi" naa sad ka ana? lol!

It usually happens to me after exams as during exams I dont sleep on time and thus everything changes in my nature and after the exams I dont feel asleep and when i go to sleep i wake up everytime, this happens to my frineds also. I think its because we have been adapted for some days to the other routine.
