Yup listening to music will help you calm yourself and then after sometimes makes you feel sleepy too. Sometimes i also try something like reading books makes me feel so relaxed and before you know it your feeling so sleepy already and then after sometime you will be sleeping soundly already too.You can also try drinking a glass of water before sleeping it will help for you to sleep nice and sound as well

Actually, sleeping pills aren't really recommended 'cause they may have bad side effects. And most sleeping pills are only on prescription basis.

I am most definitely an insomniac and because of that I have an entire list of things that I will do if I am not able to sleep at night. First of all I spend a lot of time in the evening on mylot. Then I also watch television, scrapbook and also read. If none of those things, I would just lay in the bed and spend some time in my own little imaginary world. After that, I am normally able to fall asleep in some sort of way.

Howdy Typically I put on some meditative style music and hope it helps, other times i end up on the tv or internet losing all sorts of time that way.

I only sleep in short bursts during the night. Sometimes I will wake up and be unable to drop back into sleep, so in those circumstances I will get up and meditate. Meditation is said to be as refreshing as natural sleep. _Derek

Reading can also make me nice and sleepy. But if I have real problems I do tai chi or chi kung exercises in my sleep, it really helps to relax me enough to sleep. I've researched this subject a lot as I've never been a great sleeper. Here's what I came up with. http://hubpages.com/_x8qozdkx59zj/hub/A-Few-Tips-on-How-to-Get-a-Good-Nights-Sleep

I turn off the tv so I can get some quiet time and start to read a book or go thru the mail that was on my to-do list, grab a cup of tea and sip it. When I get simmered down, I can fall asleep because that chore has been done already. I figure that must have been what was on my mind and the reason I didn't fall asleep. Then I fall off to sleep without a problem.

Hey oahcnehs! I am always having a hard time falling asleep at night so I have a variety of things that I do to help keep me occupied! I sometimes will turn the computer back on and mylot for awhile! That is my usual first thing that I do when I am finished watching tv for awhile! Then I will go back to bed and read! That is my last thing and most favorite thing to help me unwind and really try to get to sleep! I love to read and have gotten myself back into reading seriuosly now! I keep buying new books to keep myself going! I read about 10 books since last summer and just keep going! I keep lookinging for new books to buy all the time! I am expanding my library all the time and I love it!

If I can't sleep at night, I will watch TV or DVD or surf the Internet. At times, I will go out and buy something to eat at home like instant chicken noodles, fried rice and a toast. In my country, those type of meals are usually for breakfast but will do for supper or late night meals too.

I don't often have a problem falling asleep. If I do then I try to shut my brain down and just think of nonsense things. I try to relax my body, starting at the toes and moving up. I also try and concentrate on my breathing, that helps in not thinking of things. If all else fails, I get up and read for awhile and then try again.

I will drink hot milk, I usually hard to sleep with empty stomach, after a glass of hot milk I usually can sleep easily. Its usually happen when my bed time more than five hour from my diner. If I can sleep usually book can help especially the bored one. Don't read new and interesting book when you can not sleep because if I read it I will stay awake until morning come.

I hate lying down on my bed for hours, trying to sleep but I just can't! hmp... maybe I drink too much coffee today!

Sometimes I watch tv. Sometimes I just think of what happen during the day and I get to sleep in time. sometimes I do myself. You know :). It really depends on what is bugging me. One time I can't sleep because of extreme pain in my shoulders. I sleep sitted. Like a ball.

If I couldn't sleep at night, like tonight, I would play some games, or do something in the computer until I feel tired and sleepy, and since I joined here I would spend posting/responding discussions here to not waste the time.

I usually listen to jazz music and it really helps put me to sleep like a baby. It also helps if you pray before you sleep so all your worries will be taken away. It works for me :)

If I can't go to sleep, I try to read something. Reading usually makes our eyes feel tired, thus allowing us to rest it and eventually fall asleep. Music is also good as it can relax our brain. And around 1 hour before you sleep, you have to make sure that you stop using the computer. The glare or brightness of the computer screen can somehow influence our body and make our body think that it's daytime, so it'll be harder for us to fall asleep. So make sure that you stop myLotting 1 hour before going to bed. Lol
