Turn off the TV and read "War and Peace". I swear it will work. As long as you're not taking stims i.e. coffee or caffine or crank before bedtime.

I have the same problem. Periodically, no sleep.
Some herbal pills can help to tire you enough to drop off.
Or a good stiff drink(s).
Sometimes, lying in bed with a not-so-great book, can help. Your brain eventually shuts down due to boredom.
Are you worrying or stressing over something? Maybe finding the cause of the insomnia might resolve things.
Good luck.

Have you tried drinking herbal tea about one hour before you go to bed? The Celestial brands have different types of tea for whatever the ailment may be. Try it, it may just work :)

I studied alternative therapies for three years and was told that bananas help get you off to sleep at night also if you have someone who is nice enough to give you a massage try massaging your head and shoulders and feet this will relax you straight away. Also try Lavender pillows or air fresheners in your room to help you relax

Have a glass of warm milk, then do deep breathing exercises.
1) lie down on your back with your eyes closed and relax your face and your body.
2)begin by observing the natural inhalation and exhalation of your breath, if unwanted thoughts enter your mind just push them away.
3) Inhale deeply through your nostrils inflating your abdomen first like inflating a balloon.
4) On each exhale, push the air out of your body while pushing your navel towards your spine, do this for about 5 times.
5) On the next inhale fill the abdomen till full, then inhale a little more air into your ribcage and let that cause your ribcage to slightly widen apart.
6) On the next exhale let the air out of the ribcage, letting the ribs close together, then let the air out of the abdomen at the same time push your navel towards the spine.
7) Do this for about 15 -16 breaths concentrating on your breathing all the time, if it helps place your hand on your abdomen (belly).
You will feel calmer and more relaxed.
This has worked for me for about 15 years.
It is now working for my 12 year old as well (puberty, anxiety etc.,)
I would also recommend Yoga classes.

I suffer from insomnia too. Here are some things that make a big difference for me. Hope it helps!
1. Work out hard in the morning. Alternate between cardio and strength training every other day.
2. Cut out caffine, suger, over-processed foods and simple carbs. Don't eat meat within five hours of bedtime.
3. Just before you close yourself in your room for the night, drink Cinnamon tea. You can buy it at a health store, or just boil Cinnamon sticks and some Cocoa powder in a cup of water. This tastes realy good with cream or honey. DO NOT SWEETEN IT WITH SUGAR or you will be up all night.
4.Have a simple yoga routing to do just before bed. Do not try to "work out" here. Just do streatches and try to relax. Play Soft instumental music in the background. My favorite is the panpipe and Gentle drums. Dim the lights, maybe burn lavendar or cinnomon incense. The goal here is to have a soft, relaxing atmosphere.
5. Learn to meditate before bed. Sit in a chair or cross-legged on the floor. Keep your spine straight. Slowly relax your whole body. Concentrate on your own breathing. Follow your breath until you are compleately relaxed. Then repeat a one syllable word either aloud or in your mind. The classic is "Ommm" but do whatever has meaning for you. Maybe try "love" "joy" "peace" or "calm".
6. Keep a clean room. A messy room adds to the clutter your brain had to deal with. Always make your bed in the morning, and try leaving lavendar, either dried poporii in a pouch, of fresh sprigs on your pillow. Lavendar relaxes the body and calms the mind. Make sure to let pleanty freash air into your room.
7. Hot steamy showers or baths before bed can help you fall asleep fast and stay asleep.
Just try to controll stress and whatever is bothering you, do not let it in your room. Make your room a safe haven. Keep distractions to a minimum and practice "turning yourself off" to the world and whatever stresses you out. At night, it doesn't exist. Whatever it is can wait until morning.
Hope this is helpful to you!

Avoid stimulants. Don't exercise before bed. I talked to a Dr about this once and he told me to count my breaths. Breath deeply and slowly and count each one, If you lose you place because your mind wondered off then you have to start over. I have never made it past 300. It works for me when I can't sleep.

Good man Matt, DON'T take them. Few doctors appreciate the extent of their potential for addiction. A study carried out a few years back gave normal individuals a sleeping pill (It is doesn't matter which one) for 3 consecutive nights, then not on the fourth. The patients showed sleep disturbance and significant insomnia. This demonstrated that habituation could be created in only 3 DAYS!
What it also shows is that they actually make the sleep problem worse if you take them. A more recent study looked at patients who where taking sleeping pills chronically. This showed that the patients only slept for an average 30 minutes more than they did before medication was started, but they now took pill(s) every night.
Try a warm drink, NO reading or TV for at least 30 minutes before trying to sleep,(they keep the mind active!). Try either Lavender oil on the pillow, or in a warm bath before retiring, or both.

try breathing exercises, and more water during the day, also relaxing your thoughts by journaling before bed or reading a little- don't watch tv right before bed and don't listen to music with a high bass content-those things raise your stamina and can hinder sleeping ability!

Insomnia is not a disease but a symptom of some underlying problem like stress, anxiety, bad eating habits like eating just before going to bed.
Best cure for insomnia is to relax. If you learn to relax just at the right time you will fell asleep, it is as simple as that.
As far as prescribtion drugs are considered i won't recommend because of their side effects. You can try a harmless but effective herbal remedy.
For info on herbal remedies for insomnia visit the following source.

Try classical acupuncture. It's worked for me before.
"Acupuncture has been proven effective in relieving postoperative pain, nausea during pregnancy, nausea and vomiting resulting from chemotherapy, and dental pain with extremely low side effects. It can also alleviate anxiety, panic disorders and insomnia. "

I usualy suffer from Insomnia if I am stressed out.
What usualy helps me is trying to get up earlier in the morning and going to the gym in the evening and have a good long work out.
A glass or two of red wine will help as it contains something that helps the bodies Melatonin levels which control your sleep and wake cycles. Although I do find if I have two much it agravates the Insomnia. I hope that this helps, give it a try.

I heard of these two 'cures' a couple of years ago. one is sniffing your socks and the other is to put your pillow at the foot of the bed and sleep in that direction. Hope you find a cure. It sucks when you can't sleep
