Answer 5

get a bottle of lavenda oil and leave it with the top off in your room for bout 40mins befor bed then when you go to bed it helps you to get to sleep  

Answer 6

Well, you could resort to sleeping pills but tend to become addictive and then you would start to rely on them.

I'd say doing more activities during the day to get very tired for the night take a nice long hot bath, then just turn off everything and get some sleep.

Answer 7

I highly recommend a bed of nails. You get poked more times than you can count every night.

Answer 8

   1.  Maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule, including weekends.

   2. Establish a relaxing bedtime routine, such as soaking in a hot bath or hot tub and then reading a book or listening to soothing music.

   3. Create a sleep-conducive environment that is dark, quiet, comfortable and cool.

   4. Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillow.

   5. Use your bedroom only for sleep and s*x. It is best to take work materials, computers and televisions out of the sleeping environment.

   6. Finish eating at least two to three hours before your regular bedtime.

   7. Exercise regularly. It is ideal to complete your workout at least a few hours before bedtime.

   8. Avoid alcohol, nicotine (e.g., cigarettes, tobacco products), and caffeine (e.g., coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate) close to bedtime. These can lead to poor sleep, keep you awake or disrupt sleep later in the night.

Answer 26

Make sure you are really comfortable & you have a source of fresh air (bedroom window open). Then close your eyes & take some deep breaths. Imagine that you can see the muscles in your toes & your feet & relax them completely, imagining that they are turning into a pile of loose rubber bands. Let the relaxation continue up your legs, into your buttocks & back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, neck, face & head. Do it very slowly & with your breath. If you find any areas that are extra tense, use your breath to release the tension. This should help relax your body & mind and wind you down to sleep.
