Chamomile tea is a natural sedative, and the basic herbal answer for insomnia.  Drink one cup per hour for three hours before bed.\n\nIf that doesn't work quickly enough, add a couple of drops of valerian.  Valerian is a powerful natural tranquilizer, and became popular after widespread use in World War II.\n\nChamomile tea is, of course, available in any grocery store. (Although it may be called something cute like "Nighty Night" or "Sleepy Time.")\nValerian, in liquid form, can be found at any health food store.

Do not engage in any type of exercise 2 hrs prior to going to bed.  Try a glass of milk- it contains a protein that helps you sleep. Avoid caffeine:teas,coffee,sodas etc.. Comfortable pijamas,idealroom temp,reading a book,aviod a great movie or show it will keep u stimulated.  Good luck!

You sound exactly like me.  It is now 4:07 a.m. my local time, and I will probably be up another hour or so.  I just cannot get to sleep any earlier.  It stinks because I want to sleep past noon.  I have always been a night owl and not a morning person, but this is getting to be ridiculous.  I am also thinking of seeing a specialist.  I don't do well on 8 hours of sleep.  I also need about 10.  Good luck!

Cramming is self-defeating so prepre KEY questions and get 8 hours of sleep to have an alert mind.  \n\nListen to light classical music to stimulate your mind while sleeping.  \n\nRapid Eye Movement sleep is the best.\n\nEat oatmeal since it is healthy and not heavy as to make you sleepy.\n\nAvoid heavy meals.\n\nBuenas noches muchacho !

Get more sleep. But if that's not an option at the moment, use makeup.

You are probably not relaxed when you go to bed.  You will sleep better if you stop doing things about 30 minutes before bed and go through a quiet routine, like shower, brush your teeth, etc.\n\nDo you consume caffeine or smoke?  Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants that can keep you awake.\n\nI saw your question about the song that gets stuck in your head.  That is a sign of stress.  Your mind is running low on energy because of stressful thoughts.  It starts repeating the song to block out those thoughts.  Try relaxation when that happens.  Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine you are relaxing at a beautiful quiet place.\n\nHaving trouble getting to sleep can also be caused by stress.\n\nAt these web sites, experts give advice on how to sleep well.\n\nhttp://www.sleepfoundation.org/\nhttp://www.sleepnet.com/

If you do the following you'll sleep like a baby:\n\n1.  No eating late at night.  You want your body to sleep, not digest food.  A good rule of thumb is to not eat anything after 3 hours before bedtime.\n\n2.  No alcohol.  Alcohol may help you fall asleep faster, but it inhibits the deepest stages of sleep, which is where you get the greatest benefit.  Alcohol can also interrupt your sleep.\n\n3.  Give yourself wind-down time.  A quiet place with a good book, maybe.\n\nThat will usually do it.  If you still have trouble, then take 200mg of L-Theanine (you can buy it at a vitamin store), about a half hour before bedtime.  L-Theanine has relaxing qualities.  Another thing that's worked for me is to purchase one of those CDs designed to affect your brainwaves and put you to sleep.  THEY WORK!!  I bought one at Borders's Books.\n\nGood luck!

try drinking chamomile tea. it really relaxes you. i fall asleep late, too, but this tea really helps me to relax and feel sleepy.\n\nyou should make a doctor appointment and get their professional opinion very soon. gasping for air when you try to fall asleep is not a good sign. get help right away.

Instead of going to the doctor, just take a long bath right before you go to bed and the warm water will relax your muscles and it will make you fall asleep faster.

read before you sleep, and read in dim light. this actually makes u sleep faster because the brain becomes more tired.
