Focus on your breathing.  Slow it down and take deep, rhythmic breaths in and out.  Just focus all your thoughts on the breathing and try to put all your other worries and thoughts out of your mind.\n\nYou can also try to mentally imagine each part of your body relaxing.  Relax your toes, then your calves, then your thighs, then your stomach...all the way up to your eyelids, ears, and forehead.  Just imagine each of those body parts relaxing, as you let go and let yourself get comfortable.\n\nAlso, I've found that if I am physically active and get exercise during the day, then I can sleep better at night.  You may also want to try drinking some herbal tea (Chamomile and Sleepytime work best at nighttime)

Rest in bed, if possible, and drink orange juice. Keep warm, curl up in your favorite chair in front of the TV, or with a good book, and just let yourself snooze if you like. Have a nice warm bath whenever you feel like it. Medicine? I don't usually rely on any, but I would never advise any one else to go without it if they need it.

One of my problems is that I'll be thinking about the things I need to do the next day or the week.  That makes me stay awake.  Get up drink some water and lay back down and try to just relax, don't think about going back to sleep - just relax.  If that don't work then count sheep, that does work.

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"!

Set a time you want to go to sleep and start a routine at least a half hour before that time.  Do something to help you wind down, like crossword puzzles, or reading a good book.  Get into your PJs and relax.

Realize that sleeping is not something that you have to try to achieve, its something natural that should occur on its own.\nTrying to go to sleep will only keep you more awake, just lay back, don't think too much and let sleep take over you.\n\nHere's some tips to help you ....\n- Ensure you do not eat anything at-least 2 to 3 hours before bed.\n- If you drink too much coffee or high energy caffine drinks during the day, reduce or try to eliminate them completely. Avoid coffee in the evenings, a cup of tea is better.\n- A cup of hot milk (unsweetened) before bed, should help.\n- A good shower before bed works just as fine.\n- Make sure your bed is comfortable, and the temperature in your room is set to a comfortable setting to your body.\n- If there are any external noises distracting you from sleeping, do something about it to ensure its quiet and peaceful.\n- When laying on your bed. Focus on your breathing. If you find your mind drifting to thoughts, slowly bring your attention back to your breathing.\n- Before bedtime, DO NOT engage yourself in an activity that may get you excited, such as reading a book or watching an engaging TV show, this will only make u more alert. However if it relaxes you, then its fine.\n\nHope these tips help.

Exercise could help, but don't do it later in the evening.  It will release endorphins that will keep you up.  Exercising in the morning or afternoon should do the trick.  If the above doesn't work, take some nyquil.  I had two different prescription medications as sleep aids that didn't work the way they should and gave me nightmares or left me foggy the next day, but the cheap old generic nightime cold/flu medicine similar to nyquil knocked me out like a light and didn't leave me feeling sleepy the next day.  If it's a chronic case of sleeplessness, perhaps you should make a visit to your doctor.  Don't use anything for extended periods of time to help you sleep, it can become a habit and those aids will eventually become less effective.
