perrinediane	Are you getting out and getting enough physical exercise during the day? This can help even if its taking a walk around the block. Not sure if this will help you, but for some reason eating a baked potato a couple hours before I need to fall to sleep helps me go to sleep. I put it in the microwave, put little butter & some Ranch dressing on it and sometimes drink a cup of milk with potato. Against what most people say, I find having a tv in my bedroom helps me to go to sleep. Sometimes, just getting up to empty your bladder will help one get back to sleep even if you don't feel you need to...for others I know it can keep them awake so you'll have to experiment with this one. A long warm bubblebath before going to bed helps me also. If you have a partner, see if you can get them to give you a massage. Even just a back & shoulder massage can do a world of good for relaxation. If they want you to return the favor, let them know you can do it during the daytime when you don't need the rest as much. Of course, also if you have a partner, the act of intimacy helps many relax and sleep. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Angela W	When trying to sleep think of a subject, say, animals, what is in your house, things that relate to holidays etc and think of the name of something that begins which each letter of the alphabet relating to the subject. You are then concentrating on this so much, your mind forgets to worry about day-to-day things of concern, relaxes and you fall asleep. Also, don't to go bed hungry and eat lots of fruit and veg. Really. After about 2 - 3 years of wandering around the house most nights, reading, watching tv etc. The diet particularly has given me good nights sleep for a few months now. Hope it all works. Take care. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

deb s	Try relaxation techniques, soft music, turn down the lights, do not read or watch television in be (should be used for sleeping), take a warm bath, keep a pad next to the bed to write down things that are keeping you up. Benadryl can also work (plain or in Tylenol pm) but make sure you have enough time to let it wear off before you need to drive or work. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lovesap18	How 'bout you try closing your eyes then count sheeps, dogs or whatever you like. But if you can't still sleep you can always try to close your eyes then think about your work or think about what happened today at you time, but remember you should do that while your eyes are closed. I sometimes do that. Remember set the alarm first before you do that!! Good luck. ;) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gagan	It's because of stress and what not. Don't think about work! stop telling yourself you have to go to work at 6 and you HAVE to wake up. Don't push yourself. Cool down pretend you dont' have work tomorrow!. Cool down. Drink some milk!Treat yourself to a spa. Meditate and just realise all thoughts. If you take your hands and your fingers and rub your nails together hand to hand for 10 minutes u'll fall asleep. Get some sleeping medicine maybe. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Timmy K	I have the same problem, am yet to try sleeping tablets. But what I find helps for a while, is to stay awake all night and day, then get an early night the next night early, hopefully this will reset your body clock. Also sometimes, I watch a movie I have already seen before and turn the volume quite low, this means that I know what happens and am not as interested, but it makes my eyes tired!

Isaac B	your body has a natural sleep cycle... If u interrupt the sleep cycle u can get start a second wind, and be up very late. its very easy for a focused person to interrupt their sleep natural sleep cycle. Its best to go to sleep (if u can) at the first signs of sleepiness at night. Over time, if the signals are ignored, they get weaker, and the lack of sleep wares on a person... one method for falling asleep: lay in bed in a position that completely comfortable. Mentally tell your toes to relax completely. then do the same for your feet. then do the same for your ankles, legs, torso, fingertips, fingers, hands, arms, shoulders, and then neck. then close ur eyes and drift into a peacful sleep another way you could try is to read a boring book. most sleep Aid drugs can be habbit forming, so i would avoid running to the doctor until you have exhausted all other options.
