I used to suffer from chronic insomnia and I found the best thing is to get a strict bedtime routine and stick to it. Don't lie in bed for more than half an hour. If you can't get to sleep, get up, take a walk, or do something non exerting for about ten minutes, then go back to bed. And don't use your bed for anything during the day. It just reinforces the idea that your bed is something to stay awake on.

I sleep better if my room is nice and cool.

well hun if ur havin trouble sleeping try layin in dark dark room, no annoying clocks ticking or anything, maybe low slow music if ur use to it, and close ur eyes and think sweet thoughts, like ur favourite place, or ppl or what u like doing, like fishing or mountain climbing, and breath slow, and deep, let the stress just flow outta ur body, soon u will be so relaxed u will fall off to sleep, if all else fails hun, have good sex and thatll exhaust u enough to drift off...lol... hope it helps... tc : )

Nitey nite, now.

Some people say if you keep your hands and feet warm it is easier to sleep. I found I do not rest well if my television is on all night so I set the sleep for one hour. If it becomes bothersome seek a doctors advice snoring can be a sign of health issues. Ambien and even Tylenol PM or benadryl can help you sleep but not a long term use thing. Good lucky

use lunesta or get a new matteress
