read before you go to bed it helps get you tired and takes your mind off of the stressful things during the day

Count imaginary sheep in your head.. it really works! get off youqa.com and close your eyes lol

Lunesta. Or you could do exercise or read or something that makes you tired. Don't think a lot.just take deep breaths and focus on sleeping. It's hard to explain but if you think about stuff and look at the clock you will become worried and unable to fall asleep.

I like to listen to a comedian on cd. It's something light that you can easily drift off to sleep listening to.

Work out, i.e., get some exercise, man. Don't hit the rack until you're about to fall in it. You should make sure you're tired before you even try. drink warm milk

take a soak in a warm bubble bath to relax

avoid caffeine before bedtime

listen to soothing music

Be sure the room is dark, quiet, and cool

Ya, the best one I know of .. don't think about it .since you should be somewhat tired if you just rest it will hopefully come naturally. Skip one night of sleep. Always works.

I did too, and a Chiropractor suggested something that may sound strange, but it works. After you lay down, concentrate on centering you tongue in your mouth so that it doesn't touch anything. It causes your tongue to relax, and for some reason causes the rest of you to relax. I don't know how it works, but it does. I was shocked, and it works every time. It will work for you.

1. Natural remedies (tea or pill) with:
Standardized Valerian ( Valeriana officinalis ) extract, a safe and effective natural sedative, calms both mind and body. It has been used since ancient Greek times as a sleep aid
2. Over the counter sleeping pill
3. See doctor for temazapan.. (generic name), or lunexa (brand name) prescription..

There are none habit forming sleep aids,made by Tylenol.You can get them from any drug store.I don't take them anymore,because i can fall a sleep on my own now.But there was a time when i took them and they helped. Yes reading is a good idea.any book will do, something interesting may keep you up a little longer, but reading does tire the mind on a subconscious level. From personal experience, pick up any chemistry text and read it.even if your a chemist like me, you'll still be asleep in no time!! ;-)

Also you can try white noise. Basically any soft noise you find non-annoying will work. I personally love the sound of a ceiling fan or a small table fan nearby. There are alot of white-noise machines out there from wave sounds, to rain sounds or whatever else. This helps to unfocus your mind.

Another neat trick is to start at your feet and concentrate on relaxing them. Them move your way up your body, being sure to fully relax each part before moving on to the next. I never make it up to my head before I fall asleep.

If none of this helps it may be a chemical imbalance in your body or psychological stress, etc. If you still can't get to sleep, try seeing your doctor. There are alot of sleep aids and your doctor can help you find one that's right for you or refer you to a sleep specialist.

Hope this helps.good luck and sweet dreams!!

If you prefer a natural remedy - Meditation is the best way to keep your mind out from stress, tension, depression or any kind of things which cause sleepless nights.

Please meditate. If you cannot do it by yourself alone, go to a meditation class (religious one could be the best).

If not, go and see a doctor. But I do not recommend the medicine as it may cause you after effects.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

try this - put your feet up on the wall at about a 90 degree angle. All the blood drains out of your feet and legs. After 5 or 10 minutes you will be much more relaxed.

White noise, like a loud fan, helps.

One more point : remove all clocks from your sight, turn them around so you can't see them. Seeing what time it is keeps the mind stimulated, thinking about how much time you have, what has to be done, etc.

you want to enter into a relaxed state, the alpha state.z z z z z z z z z z z z
