LOVE the previous answer.\nAs for my experiences:\n1. get eight hours of sleep or at least try to wake up the same time everyday.\n2. try taking a 20 minute nap in the afternoon.\n3. Eat a light snack. Something with a bit of whole grains and some protein is best. \n4. Avoid heavy foods with lots of sugar and fat.\n5. Exercise.\n6. Take a break and do something that interests you.\n7. Aviod keeping the heat on too high. Warmth makes you drowsy.\n8. If you are at a desk for long periods of time, get up every hour to stretch and walk a bit.\n\nIf you are still having problems, see your physician as you may have sleep apnea or some sort of sleeping disorder.

try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day. your body gets use to this and its easier to sleep. also, exercise helps. Preferably cardio exercise. Helps you to relax at night. If you usually go to the gym in the early afternoon or morning. Try going later...closer to bedtime.

I had a bad problem with insomnia for many years, and did some research on it.  Here are the things I’ve found that help the most.\n\n1.  Don't take the sleeping pills.  Although they are not addictive in the way we tend to think (you won't jones for them if you miss taking them) they are addictive in the sense that once you have taken them for a while, you will have to take them to get to sleep, but they won't have the same effect they used too.   This is because you tend to not get the necessary REM sleep you need to be rested.  If you must take a sleeping pill, take it well before you go to sleep.  For instance, I prefer to take sleeping pills 2 hours before I go to sleep, so that the pill can get into my system and make me drowsy before I get into bed, then get out of my system (hopefully) early enough that I get some normal sleep.\n\n2.  Try to go to bed at about the same time every night.  You have some wiggle room on this, but if you stay out on Saturday night till 3, it'll be harder to go to sleep at 10PM Sunday.\n\n(Which somewhat contradicts:)\n\n3.  If possible, don't go to bed if you're not sleepy.  Note  - one thing I have read and found to be true is that you have to be awake for 12 hours before you can go back to sleep.  So if you sleep till noon, again, you won't be sleepy at 10PM.  \n\n4.  Don't spend more than 15-30 minutes trying to get to sleep.  If you notice that you've been in bed more than 15 minutes, get out of bed and do something for a while.  Make sure what you do isn't going to make you more hyper; e.g. no exercising or energetic music or writing posts to Great Debates (or reading GD for that matter ;) ). \n\n5.  When you go to bed, choose a chore or some other task that you do not want to do and tell yourself that if you are still awake in thirty minutes you will do that task.  Then, if you are still awake, get up and do your chosen task.  This is my favorite suggestion, as it has worked nearly every time I've used it. .\n\nThose are the most useful suggestions I have.  Other things you can try:\n\nBefore you start getting ready for sleep, turn off high energy music and turn the lights down.  I love R&R music, but I went through a period where I had to turn the radio off every night about an hour before I went to bed, or I would be to wired to sleep. And our bodies react to reduced light by producing melatonin which puts us to sleep.  \n\nGet plenty of exercise, but not right before bed.  (Unless you're weird like me - exercise right before bed just puts me to sleep)\n\nAnother suggestion that might work is to relax your body, consciously, one area at a time, starting from your feet. You think about the ball of your left foot and relax it, then the ball of your right foot, then the arch of your left foot, etc. You have to concentrate (pretty hard) on what you are doing.\n\nSex :D  by yourself or with an SO, it produces a nice soporific chemical, which does a nice job of putting you to sleep.

The world moves fast. I don't sleep myself. Try reading. Worse case there is always sleep meds. Sexxx also can work...

I can understand from the question that you are having difficulties sleeping, you may find these tips helpful for the sake of better sleep: \n\n1. Keep regular hours. The best way to ensure perfect nights is to stick to a regular schedule. If you sleep late one morning and rise before dawn the next, you can come down with a home-bound version of jet lag. To keep your biological clock in sync, get up at the same time, regardless of how much or how little you've slept. \nTry to stick close to your usual sleep schedule on weekends and holidays as well as workdays. If you stay up late on Friday and Saturday nights and sleep-in the following mornings you may give yourself a case of "Sunday-night insomnia": You get to bed early to be bright eyed on Monday morning and try to sleep, but you can't. The harder you try, the more wakeful you feel. When travel or work throws of your routine, try to maintain some semblance of regularity. Eat your meals at the same times you normally do. Try to get some sleep during your usual bedtime hours. And return to your normal schedule as soon as you can. \n\n2. Exercise regularly. Exercise enhances sleep by burning off the tensions that accumulate during the day, allowing both the body and mind to unwind. While the fit seem to sleep better and deeper than the flabby, you don't have to push to utter exhaustion. A 20 to 30 minute walk, jog, swim or bicycle ride at least three days a week--the minimum for cardiovascular benefits--should be your goal. \nBut don't wait too late in the day to exercise. In the evening, you should be concentrating on winding down rather than working up a sweat. And don't expect early-morning exercise to have any impact on the tensions that build up during the day. The ideal exercise time is late afternoon or early evening, when your workout can help you shift gears from daytime pressures to evening pleasures. \n3. Cut down on stimulants. North Americans drink 400 million cups of coffee a day and get extra doses in tea, cola drinks (including diet colas) and chocolate. Some people seem sensitive to even small amounts; others build up a tolerance. \nIf you're a coffee lover, have your last cup of the day no later than six to eight hours before your bedtime. Its stimulating effects will peak for two to four hours later, although they'll linger for several hours more. Late-evening caffeine can make it harder for you to fall asleep, diminish deep sleep and increase nighttime awakening. \n\nCaffeine isn't the only dietary sleep-robber. Tyrosine, a substance found in chocolate, Chianti and cheddar cheese can trigger heart palpitations in the night. Diet pills contain stimulants that can keep you awake. Other drugstore drug interactions can also disrupt you nights. If you're taking any prescription or over-the-counter drugs, ask your doctor whether they may affect your sleep. \n\n4. Sleep on a good bed. A good night's sleep starts from the bottom up. You're less likely to get deep, solid, restful sleep on a bed that's too small, too soft, too hard or just plain too old. Unfortunately, we tend to get used to our old mattresses and box springs--just like a broken-down pair of old running shoes--and may not realize they've gradually been losing their comfort and support. If your bed is older than eight to ten years, use our on-line bed check to determine if it is ready for retirement. In selecting a new sleep set, follow Goldilocks' rule: Try a variety of mattresses and choose the one that feels just right for you. \n5. Don't smoke. Nicotine is an even stronger stimulant than caffeine. According to several studies, heavy smokers take longer to fall asleep, awaken more often and spend less time in REM and deep NREM sleep. Because nicotine withdrawal can start two to three hours after their last puff, some smokers wake in the night craving a cigarette. When smokers break their nicotine habit, their sleep improves drama

You need to develop an understanding of why you suffer from insomnia. One of the best things to do is understand what professionals refer to as sleep hygiene. I've posted a helpful webpage below. If implementing these tips don't work and you continue to have difficulty sleeping you might want to consult an M.D. or Ph.D. who specializes in sleep disorders. They can conduct a sleep study to help determine why you struggle with sleeping.

What do you do all day? Cause one thing i notice about my life is that the days where i dont do anything.. i have trouble sleeping. Wear yourself out and set yourself up to sleep early.\n\nYou could also sacrifice a day. Just stay awake all thru the night, all the next day ( make sure you have nothing important to do) and then pass out at like 7-8 pm the next day.You'll wake up the next day early and well rested. Should be able to fall asleep the next night early too.\nEither way, youve just gotta teach your body when its time to sleep. Light effects sleep cycles, to make it dark in your bedroom. \nO, and if youve got a lot going on in your bedroom.. decorations etc. take it out, a simple room is easier to sleep in.\nand last but not least, Start at 10,000. Count backwards to 1. You'll never make it.

.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.

I have several suggestions.  If you have trouble falling asleep, you may need to set your body clock - you do that by getting bright sunshine (or bright light) when you wake up in the morning.  Later in the day, don't eat any heavy protein meals, try to just have fruit or carbs late in the afternoon.  Sleep in a room that's as dark as you can make it.  Do something relaxing before you go to sleep - journaling is good because it gives your brain a place to dump all your thoughts and anxieties so you don't have to keep mulling them over as you lay there.  If you wake up in the middle of the night, say to go to the bathroom, try not to turn the light on as it sends a message to your brain that it's time to wake up.  And try doing some deep breathing at night - through your stomach, emphasizing the exhale, which is the relaxing portion of your breath.  (Ever listen to someone sleeping, they breath in sharply and exhale slowly.)\n\nGood luck.
