Answers:
Do not go on sleeping pills!. Addiction to them is extremely high right now and not worth it!.
Why can't you fall asleep!? Is it that you have too much on your mind!? if so, start an hour before you want to go to bed!. Grab a piece of paper and a pen (or pencil) and write down all the stuff you have in your mind!. Then rewrite it to find the priorities and what you need to do about them!. Take the paper and pen into the bedroom with you and if you have too, get up adn write on it some more to empty out your thoughts!.
If it's about the following day, start a journal!. Start writing down how you feel about the people you see on a daily basis, write about your day and get it all out of your system and mind!. Write about the following day and what you'd like to say about these people, but shouldn't!. Get it all out so your mind isn't bombarded with it the moment your head hits the pillow!.
Other things that can help are not playing any form of video game or being on the computer for one hour before you are going to go to bed! Your brain functions speed up while you are doing these things and it makes it harder for it to slow down and get into a restful state if you do it too near to bedtime!. Don't exercise before bed either, it gets your adrenaline up and can make it nearly impossible to sleep!. 3 hours before bed time is the latest you should do it!.
Try meditation 15 minutes before going to bed!. For many hot showers can wake a person up instead of relaxing!. Take any showers or baths one hour before bedtime and not at bedtime!. Make that last hour before you are going to go to bed a relaxing time!. Turn off the tv, the computer, the games and the phone!. Let your brain go to town so that by the time you get into bed, it's worn itself out and you'll sleep easily!.
Make your bedroom a place of quiet and peace!. No tv in there, no stereo, no wild pictures or posters!. Make it a very soothing and calm place!. This shouldn't be a room to play in, but a place to relax in!. This isn't as easily done if you are not an adult with your own place!. Keep the bedroom clean, a cluttered room makes for a cluttered mind!. hard to be a sanctuary if it's a pit!. Clean it up, wash your sheets (blankets too if possible)!. Vacuum your bed really well, put each pillow in the dryer with a dryer sheet for 15 minutes each!.
This is not going to become the room for relaxation and sleep!.
If you are younger, don't do home work in there!. Do it at the dining room table or in the living room!. Don't hang out in there, hang out in the living room!.
Good luck!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

try having a cup of warmed up milk, it has endorphins in there that are supposed to calm you down and make you sleepy!. then once you're in bed, either read a non-stressful book or listen to some relaxing music!. when you feel yourself starting to get tired, turn off your light!. close your eyes and whenever a thought comes to mind that will potentially keep you up, imagine yourself pushing it out of your mind!. trying couting up to 5 over and over again, because if you just keep counting (1,2,3,4,5,6,7!.!.!.etc) your mind drifts to other things because you dont have to make a conscious effort to go back to 1!. if you count to five over and over, you will be focused on going back to one!. and eventually you'll fall asleep!. hope some of these tips help you a little, it usually works for me :) xxWww@Answer-Health@Com
