Answers:
INSOMNIA: Put your mind in a position where it wants to shut itself off, and sleep!. See insomnia treatments, in much more detail than can be included here, in section 3, at ezy build, below!. Use one of the relaxation methods, in bed, after lights out, on pages 2, 11, 2!.c, or 2!.i, but they can take some time to learn, (progressive muscular relaxation excepted) so learn and become proficient in their use during the day; an alternative is to use the EFT, in section 53, and pages 2!.q, and 2!.o, saying to yourself: "Even though I currently have a sleep disorder, I deeply and completely accept myself!." (or choose your own wording) while you use the acupressure tapping!. Some more; quick, and easy to learn, are at http://www!.umm!.edu/sleep/relax_tech!.htm I have not yet evaluated them, but they seem to be worthwhile trying, and I like to provide options!.
Find out which works best for you, in the daylight hours, so you will be prepared, come bedtime!. For many people, a good idea is to develop a set "wind down" routine for the last hour before bedtime, so your subconscious mind learns that it is time to put thinking aside, and prepare for mindfulness, (awareness, without cogitation/purposeful thought) or the EFT, in preparation for sleep, but the idea with mindfulness is to not even think about sleeping: just drift off, naturally, during exercising those techniques!. I suggest that you try using the EMDR variant, below, prior to the mindfulness, or the progressive muscular relaxation, but after the EFT, if that method is chosen!. Experiment, to find which combination works best!.
(The following is a variant of EMDR therapy, which has been used successfully for those people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, insomnia, and anxiety: it is easily learned, quick to use, yet can be very effective!. It is easy to be dismissive of such a seemingly unusual technique, but give it a good tryout, for at least a few weeks, to see if it is effective in your case)!.
Prior to using either of the methods in the above paragraph, first sit comfortably, and take a deep breath!. Then, without moving your head, move your eyes from the left, to the right, and back again, taking around a second to do so (say: "a thousand and one": this takes approximately a second)!.
Repeat this procedure (without the words, although you can count, subvocally, if you like) 20 times: "A thousand and one; a thousand and two!.!.!. " and so on, to a thousand and twenty!. Then close your eyes and relax!. Become aware of any tension or discomfort you feel!.
Then open your eyes, and take another deep breath, and repeat step one, closing your eyes, and relaxing afterwards, in the same manner!. Then, repeat the procedure one last time!. Some people may find that this is all they need do!. With experience, you may find that you can practise this in public, with your eyes closed, which greatly widens the window of opportunity for its use, and avoids attracting unwanted attention!. I have found that the 2 - 3 minutes spent using the EMDR markedly reduces distractions to the relaxation process, and is repaid many times over!.
I also use it prior to my chosen relaxation technique, after lights out, at night!. For more about Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing therapy, showing recommendations by those who have used it, including a professional psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience in that field, see sections 33 - 34, at ezy-build!.
Usually, I have a cup of chamomile herbal tea, an hour before bedtime, and employ the above techniques!. Others may prefer Sleepytime, by Celestial Seasonings, or valerian root, from supermarket tea, or health food aisles!. http://www!.ezy-build!.net!.nz/~shaneris
Move your bedtime back 30 - 60 mns, daily, until at a reasonable hour: MAINTAIN THERE!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try turning off the tv, computer, phone and anything else noisy and bright!. Just relax for 1 hour reading or drawing etc, before you go to bed, in a darkened room!. The dark increases the seratonin levels in your brain which make you sleepy!.
A glass of milk before bed can also help, as milk contains L-tryptophan, an amino acid that is a natural sleep inducer!.
Bananas may boast serotonin levels!. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter with sleep-promoting properties!.
Almonds are rich in magnesium!. Magnesium deficiencies can contribute to sleep troubles!. Stock up on magnesium-rich foods including pinto beans, navy beans, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ, and spinach!.
Try having a lavendar or soft-scented bath before bed also!.

I think you should try what i call banana theraphy!. Very effective! I hope it will help you too!. A friend of mine emailed me this:
Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting!.
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again!.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber!. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy!.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout!. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes!.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit!.
It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet!.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana!. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier!.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana!. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood!.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia!.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure!. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke!.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power!. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert!.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives!.
Hangovers: One of the quickest
ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey!. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system!.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief!.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness!.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin!. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation!.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system!.
Overweight and at work!? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps!. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs!. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady!.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness!. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases!. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach!.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers!. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature!.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan!.
Smoking & Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking!. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassiu! m and ma gnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal!.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance!. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels!. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack!.
Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, 'eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out!. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills!. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals!. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
