You can pray, "empty your thoughts," make sure you have everything sorted out for the next day....\n\nAnd learn to include the word "get" in your question.  :D

Avoid TV/computer screens, as light breaks down the chemical we need for sleep. Also, try and get more excercise and improve the diet. Not to be raunchy, but a healthy sex life also helps one sleep better.\n\nGood Luck!

.Go to bed the same time every night\n.Read or take a warm bath before bedtime to tire you up\n.Have dinner so you're not hungry,because you can't sleep if you're hungry.But don't get too stuffed,because that can be bothersome too.\n.DON'T drink coffee or anything with caffeine at night\n.And most importantly,relax.Pretend to put all of your troubles in a bottle and keep your mind free of worry,or at least until morning.

It is very important to wind down and relax before going to sleep. You have to try to set aside a bit of time for this in the evening even if it is just 30/45mins before you go to bed. Have a warm bath before going to bed. Put in a few drops of lavender oil and this is very good for helping people to relax. You could even put a few drops of lavender oil on your pillow. Have a warm drink before you go to bed too. Perhaps a glass of warm milk. Make sure you have eaten your evening meal at least four hour before you go to bed as this may keep you awake. Reading before bed time might help also. If you have a book you really enjoy reading it can help to take your mind off any little problems or issues that might keep you awake at night. Hope this helps.

Drink milk at bedtime .   It contains L-Tryptophan which is good for enducing sleep.

Develop a routine each night while preparing to go to sleep. Your body will adjust to this routine and try to go to bed about the same time each night. Watching tv, reading a good book, a warm bath and milk are some things that help. If this fails, talk with your doctor about it since there could be medical reasons that you can't fall asleep, like depression. Other than this, Tylenol PM is a good over the counter drug that really works. Good night and sweet dreams.

"Anchor sleep" on the day before your night shift. Try to get 2-4 hours worth of nap in. The first night is the hardest. If you have only 1 or 2 days off in between night shifts, stay on a night schedule. \nTo sleep during the day, I turn off my phone and use a face mask, which alot of people don't like the feel of. Your other option is 'black-out blinds' or put aluminum foil up in your windows. You need it as dark in the room as possible. Also use ear plugs.

Make sure the bedroom you sleep in is cool and dark. You may want to listen to some tunes, if you happen to be on of those people that can't turn your brain off. This distracts your thinking process. A glass of milk, before you go to bed will actually help some. Cut caffeine drinks off at least 4 to 6 hours before you go to bed. If your bed is uncomfortable, you may need a new mattress, or at least add a egg crate mattress to the top. Your sheets should feel and smell good. They also have aroma therapy sprays, (you spray these on your pillow cases) that can relax you. Also try this, a hour before you go to bed, relax in your favorite chair, and start clearing your mind, and preparing it for sleep. Mind over matter! I hope you "sweet dreams"!

Top Ten Tips For Beating Insomnia\n\n1. If you have an alarm clock with a large bright display, place it out of sight. The last thing you need when trying to sleep is a constant reminder of how late it is - stressing over being awake will keep you awake!\n\n2. Eliminate as much light as possible, including light from alarm clocks and vcr panels. \n\n3. If your sleep is interrupted by outside sounds, try masking them with the sound of an air fan, a radio tuned to static or by using a white noise machine. \n\n4. Keep a moderate ambient temperature - if it's too hot or cold your body won't want to relax\n\n5. Avoid stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine or alcohol. It's best to abstain from these altogether but if you can't then try to avoid them before late afternoon/ early evening. \n\n6. Even if you're tired during the day don't take naps as this will it make it harder for you to get to sleep at night.\n\n7. Don't exercise too close to bedtime (at least 3 hours) as your body needs time to wind down and will keep your mind awake. \n\n8. Adopt a 'going to bed' routine, a ritual that signals your brain that the day is ending and it's time to shut down. Don't do any work or any puzzle-solving during this ritual.\n\n9. Only use your bed for sleep or sex. Don't fill your bedroom with computers, tvs or anything not to do with restful activities. \n\n10. If you haven't dropped off to sleep within half an hour, don't lay there stressing over it. Get up and do something relaxing until you feel sleepy.

Exercise regularly; start a consistent bedtime routine; avoid caffeine and nicotine before bedtime; try relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga; take a warm bath before bedtime; don't stress about not sleeping which can make you stay up even longer; and I like sleeping with the window open for fresh air.

Maybe you should try going to bed early. Do you exercise? Try exercising, not before you go to bed though it only keys you up and causes you not to go to bed early. Watch the foods you eat before you go to bed. Try not to eat anything later than 7 pm. How are the mattresses on your bed? That might be a factor in your not sleeping well at night. Sometimes, people think they get a good nights sleep when really they don't. They sleep but are restlesss.\n\nIf none of these things help maybe you have a sleep apnea problem that needs to be checked out by your doctor.

Try these if you want to fall asleep faster:\n\n1.  Exercise\nMake sure you exercise enough and stay physically active.  If you don't move a muscle all day long, you have too much energy left at the end of your day.  Do some aerobic sports at least every other day, each lasting 30 minutes or more.\n\n2.  Stress management\nToo much stress obviously help create insomnia.  Make sure you are not annoyed by or concerned with anything when you are in bed.  Relax yourself before going to bed.  If necessary, some "soft" relaxing exercise helps. (or even moderate stretching will do)\n\n3. Hot drink other than coffee\nIf possible, take a cup of hot or warm drink like skimmed milk.  Avoid drinking coffee starting from six hours (or more) before you go to bed.\n\n4. Body temperature\nI advise taking a warm shower before going to bed.  When you're sleeping your body temperature drops a little bit.  So the shower help create that "drop" because after the shower your body is slightly "hotter".  Make sure you feel a comfortable temperature at where you sleep. Too cold: add a blanket; too warm: show your bare feet or even your lower legs.

Well, if your an adult, 8-9 hours of sleep is healthy....its not good to under sleep or over sleep. One technique i was taught in my psych class was to lay down on your back, and concentrate on your beathing. You have to make sure your breathing in and out of your diaghram, then after your concentrated, you begin to mentally relax your muscles...and so forth...its really does relax you and helps you stay asleep. If your looking for pills or anything, you can buy melatonin. Melatonin is a chemical in your brain that helps you sleep, when you dont have enough chemical, you cant sleep. Taking melatonin pills helps enhance that chemical and helps you sleep, and the best part is that you can buy at a drugstore otc. Its totally natural. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me.
