What do you do when you can't fall asleep? Today is one of those days when I'm just so excited!! That I can't get to sleep. So, I want to know what you do when you can't fall asleep? Or, how do you make yourself fall asleep?

What are you so excited about?Can you share here or that is more personal?Back to your question,Just remain awake and concentrate on any subject you are interested.If that too don't help,then make a call to your best friend and share your feelings and hope you will get a good sleep after a nice chat.Sweet dreams!

I was actually excited cos I'm helping with an event and I can't wait to see how it turns out, cos it's basically just set on ideas right now, so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out yet...So yeah. Thanks for the advice!

Breathe. It's a trick I learned many years ago and it really works. Just close your eyes and breathe evenly. It doesn't have to be deep breaths: just evenly. Count, say, five seconds in, five seconds out (doesn't matter exactly, as long as it's breathing evenly and gently). This causes the body to increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood by a little, which in turn puts everything to sleep, naturally. Works every time.

Get up and just watch TV in my bedroom...making sure that dark except for the light coming from the TV. That ususally does it...

When i cant sleep i usually will take Benedryl and sleep medicine to fall asleep. I most of the time take medicine to fall asleep because i used to sit in bed never falling asleep and it would just bug me, so i had to do something about it.

Usually I listen to music, especially if it's something like Enya. Sometimes I'll watch tv and fall asleep before I even have the chance to turn the radio on. If all that fails, I'll take something like Tylenol Simply Sleep. I needed that the other night because I had been sick and had no sleep at all but unfortunately, the pills had expired.

I usually get up, go out on the balcony and cool down myself. You cant mostly sleep becouse you are to hot. Then I go out in the kitchen and take a glass of milk. Then I go back to bed and efter max. 10 minutes I have fall asleep. So this is working very well for me.

When I can't fall asleep, I listen to music. If that doesn't work, I sing (with a pillow over my head so I don't unintentionally wake anyone up) and hopefully, that will tire me out. That has actually worked for me which is very interesting if you think about it. :D

I think the quickest way is that you do not think anything but you must have a potential sense of a certain object such as one person or an environment associated with you.It's very useful to me.

When I can't get to sleep, I read or watch something boring on TV. My 3 kids really wear me out, so I usually don't have problems in the sleep department.
