I can't sleep. Anyone got any good natural methods to get to sleep?

Question:

Answers:
read some sort of boring book, do the alphabet backwards, glass of milk, listen to some really chilled music, try to relax/clear your mind, thinking too much, worry, anxiety might be the cause, i usually take a warm, relaxing bath before bed. If none of those don't work.....geez....i don't know, but i'm certain one of those will work. Sweet dreams!!!!!

Masturbation and lots of turkey.

or you can try hot chocolate

All the above and some hot chocolate.

Drink heavily.

warm milk

Masturbate
Read a BORING BOOK
Have a white noise you can concentrate on (Fan)
Breathe deeply in thru the nose and out thru the mouth
If you have a clock that ticks, count each tick until you fall asleep

someone once told me to think of white things...like snow, paper...it did not work....I had to get some over the couter sleep aids.

personally, i listen to my ipod with my eyes closed while lying on my bed and i gradually get tired. try it and see if it works for you.

hot bath and a org.asm...

dont do chores it will just stimulate the mind! masturbations a good one its guaranteed youll fall asleep straight after you.......lol! try smoking a wee funny cigarrete! lol x sweet dreams when u get there x

Try burning some lavender candles in your house. A cup of 'Sleepy Time' tea might also help. You can find it in most grocery stores with the other teas.

Have a Hot Tea Then Go Lay In Bed And Just Try Not To Think About Things Like How Busy Your Day Is Gunna Be Tomrow And Stuff Just Relax And Soon Youll Fall Asleep.

good screw

I have the same problem and it sucks. I don't fall asleep till an hour before my alarm goes off. If you know the cure let me know please

Vitamin B complex

Chamomile tea

Valerian supplements

Tension Tamer or Sleepytime tea (made by Celestial Seasonings)

canibus...roll one...smoke one

Lavender Baby Bath, and Bedtime Lotion. I know you may be grown, but i read on the interent where that really helps the body relize that its time for rest. (sounds strange, but hope it works!)

Yeah...get off that bloody computer!!!

melatonin works, but it gave me a headache sometimes. my doctor recommended benadryl. it works pretty good.

Get up earlier.

Try and get more exercise early in the day , don't drink any caffine after noon. (this includes cola & tea) Go to bed 30 min to an hour before you plan to sleep get up earlier in the day. Don't nap. In bed read or watch something really boring/familiar(this helps alot if you cant stop thinking/worrying long enough to fall asleep. Count backwards from 100. Also if you drink it, milk has tryotophan in it which aids in sleep.

Deep breathing , as my physiologist said, will do it unless you can't concentrate on it. Breathe in as deep as you can and exhale as far as you can 16 times. It works for me before I get to 9. We also have a tape to listen to that does the same thing that came from him. In an attempt to use it to lower blood pressure and relax at the same time, I sometimes fall asleep.

How about a relaxing meditive cd, learn to relax the body completely, and you just drift of to a lovely slumber.

Hop downstairs to get some cheese, not only will this wear you out but it will give you some funky dreams

count sheep!

Lavender bath oil and body lotion.
Also try a lettuce sandwich.....it sounds daft, but i have bouts of insomnia and i tried it, it worked for me! Don't drink too much coffee before going to bed either, cos its got caffiene in which stimulates the mind.

deep breathing.

First find a good position. Inhale through the nose slowly for 5 counts, hold for 3 counts, then exhale through the mouth slowly for 5 counts. Repeat this process counting backwards from 50.

Be sure to inhale and exhale slowly to avoid hyperventilation.

eat lots of lettuce about 30 minuets before you go to bed it works for me and staring at a computer screen helps because your eyes get tired and haveto shut

masturbate, duh
