Are you someone whose mind is filled with thoughts of your family, your finances, your job and the future when you are trying to fall asleep!? Do you find it hard to stop thinking and /or worrying about things long enough to drift off!? If your mind is busy at bedtime, it can lead to constant tossing and turning and insomnia!.
If you worry about situations in life, there are a few techniques you can use to help put the worry out of your mind, and fall asleep!. First, realize that now is the time to sleep, and the situations and events that are causing you stress will be there tomorrow!. Try making a "Worry Notebook!." In a notebook designated for this purpose, create a list of what's causing you stress and anxiety before you go to bed!. Then go through the list and identify which items can be dealt with tomorrow!. The list of items on your list for tomorrow then becomes your to-do list for the next day!. This will help you feel more in control and positive about situation!. In separate section of your notebook, create a list of things that you worry about but are out of your control!. Reconfirm to yourself that you have no power to change these things!.
When you have finished your lists, put away the notebook and remind yourself that you have put these things out of your mind, and onto paper, and will not think about them again until tomorrow!. If you find yourself thinking about these stressors during the night, firmly remind yourself that you have put away the notebook until the morning and now is sleep time!.

I think it's normal because of the stress in your life!. I know when I am really stressed, I can't sleep much at night either but for some reason, during the day, it's much easier to take a nap or something!. I'm sure as the stress starts to subside more, you will be able to sleep better at night!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Lack of sleep may be due to dietary deficiencies like lack of melatonin or stress!.
Try drinking milk or eating rice before going to bed, both contain melatonin, a natural sleeping aid, which help you sleep better!. From http://nosleep!.in

Exercise, but not within 2 hours of bedtime!. Have a warm bath, or shower, an hour before bedtime, then a glass of very warm milk, possibly with Horlicks, or one of the herbal teas, below, and use dimmer lighting!. 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 The progressive muscle relaxation, (most easily learned) guided imagery, and mindfulness breathing are known to be effective!.
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!.
Avoid TV, computer, or anything exciting in this hour, although reading a BORING! book is a good idea!. 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 for you!.
In section 3 at ezy build: INSOMNIA: PAGE O - INSOMNIA: A COMPREHENSIVE POST a variant of Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing therapy is shown, which has been used successfully for those people suffering from insomnia, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and anxiety!. It is easily learned, quick to use, yet can be very effective; although it is easy to be dismissive of such a seemingly unusual technique, give it a good tryout, for at least a few weeks, to see if it is effective in your case!. I learned it from a book by a published clinical psychologist, on depression insomnia, and now use it every night, and find it works well!.
No coffee, tea, or other caffeine (see list in section 7) within 6 hrs of bedtime! Try a cup of chamomile herbal tea, an hour before bedtime, and employ many of the techniques in section 3!. Others may prefer Sleepytime, by Celestial Seasonings, Relax, Be Sleepy, or valerian root (valerian "hangovers" possible), from supermarket tea, or health food aisles!. Milk, or cream should not be used with herbal tea!. http://www!.ezy-build!.net!.nz/~shaneris and stress is addressed in section 42; see page i first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
