Lie down and close your eyes you don't realize it but your body is getting more sleep than you perceive. You can be in stage one sleep and be fully aware of your surroundings. Unless you had caffeine or any other stimulants they cause insomnia.

A hot bath or shower always makes me sleepy.\n\nOr if I sit in a dimly lit room and read my eyes get tired and I will wander off to bed and crash.\n\nSitting in front of that one eyed monster with the bright screen will stimulate the mind and keep you awake into the wee hours of the morning. Turn it off and take a warm shower or read a book and you will get sleepy....

I think you are supposed to be  bored to sleep.   Relaxing helps you to fall asleep.  Try breathing in to a count of five, and out to a count of 10.    After five minutes, you'll either be bored enough or relaxed enough to go to sleep.

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!

lay flat on your back\nconcentrate on each body part, starting at your toes\nimagine each part shutting down, going to sleep.\nReally concentrate on it...when you can't feel that body part anymore, move up to the next one.\n\nThis will keep you from thinking of other things that will keep you awake.

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

I have dealt with insomnia too, and one of the best things you can do is create a regular sleep/wake cycle. Try to go to bed at the same time every night, and wake up at the same time every morning. It can be hard at first, but it really does help, and you'll feel better emotionally.\nAlso, you can try these tips:\n-cut back on coffee, tea, and soft drinks that contain caffeine; instead drink clear soft drinks like 7-Up and Sprite, or caffeine-free sodas like root beer\n-avoid eating large, heavy meals before going to bed\n-don't exercise too soon before going to bed\n-relax yourself before bed with a hot bath, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation (see my link), etc.\n-have a glass of warm milk and half a turkey sandwich about 30 minutes before going to bed; both contain tryptophan, which will help you sleep\n-don't use your bedroom as a place to work, eat, watch TV, etc.; it should be a place to sleep and rest and that's it\n-avoid alcoholic drinks in the evening\n-listen to calm, soothing music before bed and while you're trying to sleep\n-sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillow\n-keep your room at a cool temperature\n-practice deep breathing exercises (see link)\n-avoid naps if they interfere with your sleep/wake cycle\n-once you're in bed, visualize a safe, peaceful scene, like the beach or a rainy day\n-establish a bedtime ritual before going to sleep to key your body to relax; follow the ritual every night\n-keep your bedroom dark\n-sleep in a well-ventilated room\n-don't watch TV, read, or do any other mentally stimulating activity before bed\n-try to get into the habit of sleeping on your back... it's the best position for relaxing because it allows for deep, restful breathing\n\nGood luck!

Think about how to escape while everyone is asleep.

Caffeine.\n\nHere are some things that can help. \n1. Limit daily intake of caffeine especially after 6 pm. \n2. Try to avoid watching TV and hour before bed, if your mind is too stimulated it can keep you awake. 3. Drink enough water during the day, preferably half your body weight in ounces. Water is a metabolism regulator, if yours is stable you will sleep better. \n4. Try to exercise 3-5 times a week, when you sleep your body rebuilds itself, so exercising will allow the body to make you tired by emitting chemicals that allow you to get more restful sleep. \n5. Try to relax about an hour before bed, limit stimulation to your brain, meditate, read relaxing material, listen to soothing music. \n6. One of the best natural treatments for sleep deprivation is lavender extract. Some people dont like it but you put a few drops on your pillow and you will be out like a light.\n\nRegardless of your other issues you have going, some which you may have little control over such as stress, these are small things you can control that can help you sleep better.

i never sleep...i can't sleep...\n\nseriously though, if i can't fall asleep on my own i do something tedious...i have a pocket yahtzee game by my bedside and basically, i play it until i get bored...VERY BORED.  then when i'm bored into utter submission, falling asleep isn't a problem.\n\ni also have an old economics textbook from college that i keep around for special occasions when i absolutely HAVE to fall asleep.  couple chapters of that and viola!, my head's down on the pages and i'm drooling in the bindings...problem solved.

Stay away from sleeping pills.  It's easy to get addicted, and some sleeping pills will cause depression and anxiety.  The cure is to make sure you're really tired by getting up early and exercising.  \n\nHere's the magic formula: get up at 6am, drink a 12 oz glass of water, do a 5-10 minute warm-up (run or bike).  Follow up with 30-50 minutes of weight lifting.  Every other day do 20 minutes of aerobic exercise instead of weights.  Take one or two days a week to rest.  You'll be sleeping soundly in no time.
