Giovanni	Don't take an over-the-counter sleeping pill. It will make you groggy and lethargic. Try Melatonin or Valerian root. They're both natural, and work very well. You can probably find both at your local grocery. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kathryn	Take a Benadryl. It's the same ingredient as over the counter sleeping pills. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jay S	Try this 1. Eat a cracker and a slice of turkey. Turkey contains trytophan, which is a natural compound that makes us sleepy. It's the reason everyone gets sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. 2.

naturegirl68	I've had insomnia for years. The best thing to do is clear your mind. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself to falling asleep. That's the worst thing. Perhaps have some herbal tea, with no caffeine, right before bed. Or warm milk, I haven't tried that, but I heard that helps. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

catastrophedesign	you may think it's odd or the best idea but the best natural way is to orgasm, by yourself or not it works. when you orgasm the body releases chemicals that make you fall asleep. however you do it, it's the best way with no sleeping pills required. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kori	drinking a big glass of milk works every time Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pure Corrister	Reading at nite can put you out faster than Tylenol PM. Combine them and you'll be out really fast. Don't worry about not being able to sleep because sooner or later you fall asleep. Honey is also great for Insomnia. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sophia K	i used to be like that. Medication really doesnt do you any good but i guess it works. I would not reccomend it personally, its just not natural. I have a Lavender pillow that really helps. If you don't have one, have a nice long and hot bubble bath and light some candles. Honestly, it will relax you. Get out the bath into your p-j's and straight into bed. Put all your worrys out your mind and this sounds kinda crazy but......you know that game, my grandma went to market where you go through the alphabet thinking of things she bought? Eg: My grandma went to market and she bought an apple, my grandma went to market and bought an apple and a banana, my grandma went to market and bought an apple an banana and a cat, my grandma etc. all the way through the alphabet! It works for me! If that fails, deep breathe. Hope this helps! x Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Victoria	Work out a few hours before you go to sleep. That happens to me too sometimes b/c of inactivity during summer. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

oboemastah	Hah, calm down! This happens to us all from time to time. Only worry if it has been an on-going thing that you haven't been able to fall asleep... in that case see a doctor. If it was only one night, then simply try again. Take something to make you drowsy if you need it. Your body will make up for the sleep when it needs to. Try not to nap also, because that will keep you up. Listen to some music, watch a favorite movie of yours, relax in a pool if you have one... just calm down. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chito	READ............... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Allison	I saw on a pack of pills that eating a banana and drinking milk before you go to bed help you sleep. I have never tried this, I hate bananas and milk, but my friend swears it works. Taking a nice warm shower before bed also helps me, because the water soothes me. And don't do anything stressful before bed time. I hope this helps! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Collins K	We all have trouble sleeping from time to time. But you can make it easier to get a good night's sleep every night with these simple steps. 1. Cut caffeine. Simply put, caffeine can keep you awake. It can stay in your body longer than you might think – the effects of caffeine can take as long as eight hours to wear off. So if you drink a cup of coffee in the afternoon and are still tossing at night, caffeine might be the reason. Cutting out caffeine at least four to six hours before bedtime can help you fall asleep easier. 2. Avoid alcohol as a sleep Aid. Alcohol may initially help you fall asleep, but it also causes disturbances in sleep resulting in less restful sleep. An alcohol drink before bedtime may make it more likely that you will wake up during the night. 3. Relax before bedtime. Stress not only makes you miserable, it wreaks havoc on your sleep. Develop some kind of pre-sleep ritual to break the connection between all the day's stress and bedtime. These rituals can be as short as 10 minutes or as long as an hour. Some people find relief in making a list of all the stressors of the day, along with a plan to deal with them this can act as "closure" to the day. Combining this with a period of relaxation perhaps by reading something light, meditating, aromatherapy, light stretching, or taking a hot bath can also help you get better sleep. And don't look at the clock! That "tick-tock" will just tick you off. 4. Exercise at the right time for you. Regular exercise can help you get a good night's sleep. The timing and intensity of exercise seems to play a key role in its effects on sleep. If you are the type of person who gets energized or becomes more alert after exercise, it may be best not to exercise in the evening. Regular exercise in the morning even can help relieve insomnia, according to a study. 5. Keep your bedroom quiet, dark, and comfortable. For many people, even the slightest noise or light can disturb sleep like the purring of a cat or the light from your laptop or TV. Use earplugs, window blinds or curtains, and an electric blanket or air conditioner everything possible to create an ideal sleep environment. And don't use the overhead light if you need to get up at night; use a small night-light instead. Ideal room temperatures for sleeping are between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures above 75 or below about 54 can disrupt sleep. 6. Eat right, sleep tight. Try not to go to bed hungry, but avoid heavy meals before bedtime. An over-full belly can keep you up. Some foods can help, though. Milk contains Tryptophan, which is a sleep-promoting substance. Other foods that may help promote sleep include tuna, halibut, pumpkin, artichokes, avocados, almonds, eggs, bok choy, peaches, walnuts, apricots, oats, Asparagus, potatoes, buckwheat, and bananas. Also, try not to drink fluids after 8 p.m. This can keep you from having to get up to use the bathroom during the night. 7. Restrict Nicotine. Having a smoke before bed -- although it feels relaxing actually puts a stimulant into your bloodstream. The effects of Nicotine are similar to those of caffeine. Nicotine can keep you up and awaken you at night. It should be avoided particularly near bedtime and if you wake up in the middle of the night. 8. Avoid napping. Napping can only make matters worse if you usually have problems falling asleep. If you do nap, keep it short. A brief 15-20-minute snooze about eight hours after you get up in the morning can actually be rejuvenating. 9. Keep pets off the bed. Does your pet sleep with you? This, too, may cause you to awaken during the night, either from allergies or pet movements. Fido and Fluffy might be better off on the floor than on your sheets. 10. Avoid watching TV, eating, and discussing emotional issues in bed. The bed should be used for sleep and sex only. If not, you can end up associating the bed with distracting activities that could make it difficult for you to fall asleep. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jennifer Lynn	I use the aroma therapy stuff from Bath and Body Works. I just spray it on my sheets and my pillow and it makes me fall asleep. It's a very relaxing fragrance. You should get some. It's not expensive. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gf F/Mikaeellaa.	I'm not sure about you, but sleep is something I enjoy occassionally. Let's face it, we all have to sleep to rejuvenate our body and keep it working at the best of its ability. Not everyone can fall asleep quickly, so if you have troubles when your head hits the pillow at night, take a look at these steps and see if they can help! 1.Kick the Caffeine. It's not rocket science that caffeine keeps your body awake. It's a stimulant, which is why a lot of us use it to keep functioning throughout the day! In reality, it can stay in your body for up to 14 hours, so keep that in mind when you dive into your cup of coffee or can of Coke before hitting the sack. Try to take your last caffeinated drink at least 4 to 6 hours before bedtime. 2.Don't Drink Alcohol. At first, it might seem like an easy way for you to knock yourself out at night, but it actually causes disturbances in your sleep, therefore leading to a restless sleep which will leave you feeling tired the next morning. 3.Try to Relax! Stress is part of everyday life, but it can make you miserable and leave you up at night. Try to develop a "system" to break the connection between the day's stresses and bedtime. It can be as short as 10 minutes, or as long as an hour to disconnect from your day. Read a book, meditate, take a hot bath! 4.Exercise! Regular exercise is not only good for you physcially, but studies have shown that people that exercise on a regular basis sleep better at night. Don't exercise in the evening though if you have trouble sleeping, it can make you more alert so for those of us that can't sleep, it's best to do it in the morning. 5.Keep your bedroom quiet and dark. For a lot of people, even the slightest noises can keep them up at night. Use earplugs, dark windows and curtains, or even a fishtank for "relaxing" noise. Don't use the overhead light if you can help it, and keep the temperature at a comfortable level for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
