Well, I am not sure what your caffeine intake is but I suggest no caffeine after noon!. DO not eat two hours before bedtime as well as exercise too!. If those do not work you can take some benedryl, but it should be used as a last resort!. I hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
first thing: avoid vigorous exercise 3-5 hours prior to sleepy time!. watch your caffeine intake; robably dont want to eat/drink caffeine within 6-8 hours prior to sleep!. relax!. breathe slowly!. hold your breath for 10 seconds then exhale slowly!. this lowers your heartrate to sleeping mode!.
also note OTC stimulants or dietary aid effects on you, like sudafed for congestion!. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine that packs a walloping side effect of drowsiness!.!. so much so, that its used as a sleep aid itself as well!. have you tried benadryl!? if not!.!.!.
talk to your doctor or pharmacist about melatonin supplements or prescription sleep aids!. try to leave the Rx sleep aids as a last resort as most of them are habit forming and bloody expensive!.
hope this helps!. best of luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

i heard of this trick a few months ago and it has worked every time for me!. concentrate on relaxing your tongue, make it so that its completely loose and floppy inside your mouth
idk why but once i do this it only takes me 5-10 minutes to fall asleep
dont try music anymore, it destracts you from sleeping, i can never fall asleep listening to my ipod
one more idea is to tense small groups of muscles briefly then relax them starting at your head, this makes them feel more relaxed
good luck:)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to think I had insomnia - then I realized that I simply wasn't warm enough!. I need to be *really* warm!. I sleep on flannel sheets under a blanket and comforter in a fleece shirt, flannel pants and socks!. No kidding!. Now I fall asleep in a matter of minutes!.
Experiment with temperature, your bedding and what you are wearing!. You may be too warm or cold!. Use a soothing scent (I like lilac or vanilla) in your room!. Your bed should be your very own little piece of heaven, so when you crawl in your just drift away!.!.!.!.
