Answers:
If it is and has been a constant problem, you should go to your doctor, you may have insomnia!.
If not then you should follow these steps to a good nights sleep!.
If you don't already have them, buy blackout curtains!. They will make you room dark form the moment you close them!. When it is dark, you brain releases a chemical that makes you sleepy!. Since is summer, the nights draw in pretty late, and it can still be a bit light late at night, which means you body will think its only evening and not release as much of this chemical!.
Secondly, you should make sure you don't have to many carbohydrates, slow-energy releasing foods or sugary foods late at night!. Theese will give you energy which will keep you awake!. Try not to eat 1-2 hours before bed-time and eat food that wont gove you too much energy, for instance fruit, or you could alternatively have a smoothie, pure orange juice or water!.
Thirdly you should do plenty of exercise!. This will use up all the spare energy from meals so it won't keep you awake at night!. Even figgeting can be good for you!. Try and get into a habit of swinging you legs when sitting on a chair of something!. Figgeting can burn up to 200 calories a day and will use up the leftover energy!.
Also you should make sure you bedroom and bed are the right sort of environments to sleep in!. I have halogen ligths in my room, which made my room really warm, so i brough a bedside lamp that i could put on at night so my room was the right temperature to sleep in!. You should make sure that your bed is comfy, that you don't have too many soft toys on your bed, you don't have too many or too little pillows on your bed and that you have the right type of duvet for the season!. I have a thin duvet for summer and a thick one for winter so i don't overheat or freeze!. If you have an old matress (more than 5-10 years), consider changing it, especially if it is quite lumpy!. A bad matress can be bad for posture as well as sleep!. If you don't want to pay
