Any sleep is better than no sleep.\nGive your brain a mental break and take a nap.

I was told by a doctor that not getting to sleep was anxiety and waking up in the night was depression.  You will know if this is an issue within your life or a sleep disorder.  I think that counselling or something of that nature could help. \n I would also look at sleep hygene such as going to bed and waking up at the same time.  Just use your bedroom for sleep no tv or computer.  Keep a sleep journal there might be a pattern to your sleep and an activity(also look at what your eating, could there be something stimulating you there ie food intolerance, cola or drinks that has caffine, some times medication has caffine).  Try and eat earlier you are doing something energy intensive when your body is winding down.  Make sure your room is dark.  Have you tried those hynotherapy cds.  I have found them very helpful.\nI think if this is a long term issue for you then sometimes a doctor maybe be a port of call but do not let them put you on tablets if that is not what you want

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.

I'm an insomniac so I can sympathize! There are all sorts of tricks to try, warm milk, a warm bath, mild exercise about 1 hour before bed. Try to read or do puzzles somewhere other than bed and have your room dark and on the cool side. try self relaxation when you lie down close your eyes and starting at your temples imagine each muscle slowly relaxing as you move down your body.  If all else fails a mild over the counter sleep aid may be needed on occassion or see a doctor. Good Luck and Sweet Dreams!

Sleep more, and try to figure out what you're stressed about and correct the problem that's causing it. Then it will go away.

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.

Perhaps you are undergoing too much stress. You can try yoga as it is relaxing. Drink milk before going to bed (that's what my doctor previously told me to do). Do not engage yourself in an activity that uses your brain (e.g. solving maths questions) a couple of hours before sleep. Always try to avoid sleeping at different times of the day.\n\nBefore sleeping, it's best to do the activities that relaxes your mind (e.g. reading). I find that when I exercise in the morning, I can sleep better. \n\nYou can also read this article:\nhttp://www.sleepfoundation.org/hottopics/index.php?secid=9\n\nHope it helps :)

Don't take any medicine to fall asleep.  Try reading a book or a magazine.  Don't get on the computer though.

How did you type if you are or were in sleep.\nSince your sleep is already disturbed so much going back appears to be remote unless you get fully tired again.\nMay be by tomorrow night you can go back to sleep since by then the YAHOO ANSWER QUOTA would not allow you to browse further and not knowing what to do next you may yawn and get a peaceful sleep. BUE PLEASE PLEASE BEFORE YOU FALL ASLEEP AGAIN RATE MY ANSWER AS BEST and LET ME EARN 10 Points so that I too can go back to my sleep peacefully.

First, you need to consult a doctor about this, he may help you with some tablets for sleep and for relaxing your brain, because when we sleep a part of our brain is "dead" but the other part is active (we breath even when we sleep, isn't?) and that might make your body move! I hope that I could help you, because I have the same problems, since two weeks, I cannot sleep properly, but I am not damaging anything in my room!\nBefore going to sleep, I take a glass of milk and little bit honey, that helps me a lot!

Hi!\nWhen you don't get good sleep,\n1) just lay on the bed,Keep your mind thoughtless and just close your eyes,have a deep breath,start counting reverse from 100 to 1 or\n2) if you sleep under sky, you can start counting number of stars in the sky, it will really help you in sleeping. You wouldn't be able to know when you fell asleep.

The story of my life!  I often have trouble sleeping and at times no matter what I do helps.  Somethings I have tried that do seem to help from time to time.  \n\nA good round of sex. \n\nA glass of milk.\n\nExercising about 1 hour before you go to bed.\n\nThen there are medications.  I use Ambien from time to time, but it is a prescription so probably no help for tonight.  If you do decide to go with Ambien, a word of caution.  I only use them in dire circumstances.  They make me totally goofy.  I do really silly things, and often have amnesia the next day. \n\nHope you have sweet dreams tonight.  Good Luck!

I am a chronic depression sufferer and sometimes have a hard time sleeping.  I would suggest maybe homeopathic remedies before I would go to sleeping pills.  A warm cup of Sleepy Time tea or warm milk.  I started doing 30 minutes of yoga (from a DVD) before I started my bed ritual, and will read until I feel tired.  I no longer allow myself to sleep in nor watch TV in bed.  If the problem presists... visit your doctor to get some ideas what to do.  If you must use a sleeping pill to get some well needed rest Unisom or Excedrin PM put me out like a light.
