Exercise helps with sleep!. Also hormones (peri-menopause), vitamins ( taking B later in the day), and sunlight exposure can contribute to restlessness!. A late doctor friend of mine said that eating late at night can not only keep you up late, but also contribute to nightmares because of the digestion process!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Maybe you should a combo of exercise and a banana and warm milk!. Don't think of anything the momnet you close your eyes!. Don't go from a bright screen to your bed immeadiatley!.!.!.you'll think about what you just saw!. Try to close your eyes for at least 7minutes!. Maybe its the heat in the summer that's casuing you discomfort!? Maybe you should open a window, try cooling it down a bit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
OK, what you can do to try and help is read at least half an hour to an hour before you are wanting to sleep, no TV or computer!.!.!.and do not workout before bed, not only will it not help your body but then you will be more awake cause you got your heart rate up!. and a warm drink with no caffeine or too much sugar with some bread or something will help!.!.!. i suggest some warm vanilla tea!.!.!.decaf!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well what mite help is sleeping in new places like the couch or the floor you can drink some milk but what helps me is to go to eat in till im full and have a glass of warm tea if that dosn't help just fourse your eyes close and count to 2,00 if that dosnt work
im sorry because those are all the ways that help me good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Try doing some hard labor!. It feels good to go to bed physically tired rather than just mentally!. Also, try to take your shower in the AM!. Showers can wake you up instead of relaxing you sometimes!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well dont exercise or eat alot of food before you go to sleep, exercise will stimulate your brain and your whole body, well laborous excercise will, and eating will just go almost straight to fat if you go to sleep after!. Try taking a long walk, if you like peanut butter eat a teaspoon of that(my mom read that in a mag and swore by it, and she was an insomniac), then read something you have absolutely no interest in reading, like an owners manual or something, that should bore you into sleep!. Oh and the PB thing takes about 1/2 hr to get you tired!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
u should really try not to take sleeping pills, once u depend on them its really hard to get off of them!. try not to eat or drink any sort of cold or caffeinated foods or drinks during most of the day, especially near sleeping time!. sometimes nightmares r caused by uneasy stomaches!. u can try eating things that r easy to digest and natural (no fried foods), and at night u can hold a hot water bottle to ur stomach, and keep ur sleeping time stable!. if u really can't sleep don't lay there cuase it can make it worse, do something and once u feel oozy go straight to bed!. drinking warm beverages help sleep like milk or water!. hope it gets better, if not u can try going to other kinds of doctors like the tradition ones or the therapy ones!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
