Does anyone have good ways to fall asleep within 5 minutes at any given time?

Question

Besides drinking warm milk, counting back from one hundred, and counting sheep, are there any ways that I can fall asleep quickly? I haven't gotten much sleep lately, and I need to know how I cna get to sleep before school starts up again. Thanks!

Answer 1

one unconventional method is to use a trick I do,and you don't need sleep aids. The mind is constantly firing messages through the synapse, and you have to stop supplying energy to the various corridors that carry information.Try this,1. lay down on your back and place your hands at each side of the body.2. Take slow deep breathes 3 to 10 to relax and supply more oxygen to the brain. This will allow endorphins to be released(I think it is the endorphic system)3. close your eyes and envision a spot at an infinite distance.Now this part depends on your own ability to control your thoughts,Imagine you are traveling in your mind to that spot.There will be flash images, not bright, but visible to your night time eyes,And allow a feeling of numbness to wash over your body, this indicates motor controls are slowing down.You should be able to"see" the light flashes begin to pass by your body(Mind). A feeling of losing weight should happen, or lightness if you prefer.this tricks the mind and body, and changes the type of brain waves you give off.4. concentration is the key, and you won't be having all the days disappointments ,and and activities slipping around your thoughts. This works like transendental meditation and bio feed back, but my method is more of a self hypnosis. Once you train your mind to go into this area, you will sleep quickly and soundly.

Try some melatonin, that sometimes helps. Basically I have found that guys can fall asleep quicker.

Answer 4

Two ways-

Do not try to think of anything, just let your mind find something.

Lay on the very edge of the bed and you'll soon drop off.

Answer 5

For me, listening to my iPod is the only way I can get to sleep. Some people find this distracting and say it actually keeps them awake... but you could try it. Make sure it's relatively calm music, or music that you're very familiar with. Put the volume down so you can *just* hear it.

If you find this doesn't help, try avoiding TV and computer for up to an hour before bed. It definitely will keep you up, due to over-stimulation.

Finally, try clearing your mind and thinking of nothing at all. :)

Answer 6

I try to get really tired throughtout the day so i fall asleep fast. It works and no pills.

Answer 7

What works for me-

Usually I fall asleep faster on my back, although that may just be a personal thing and vary from person to person.

Make sure your room is cool, bordering on chilly but not uncomfortable, and dark.

Focus on your breathing, inhaling through your nose, and let your belly expand.  Then, exhale, slowly pushing the air out of your belly.  These are called cleansing breaths and are a great way to relax for sleep.  Before long, you'll do this automatically and sleep really soundly.

Hmmm there's lots of ways that work but in the end it's all up to your mind. One way is to take semi deep breaths and focus on nothing but that while being relaxed. Another funny way is to take something extremely boring like a book for English and start to read some of it. Whenever I have to read for homework I always get bored and fall asleep in like 10 mind lol. If your just trying to get back in the school habits I would set your alarm for like 8 so you only get 4-5 hours of sleep. You'll feel like **** but better then than on the first day of school. I feel your pain man, I just started on Monday and only got like 4 hours of sleep cause I was so used to waking up at 1. Don't make the same mistake it sucks.
