Answer 1

warm milk, find a regular routine like taking a bath at the same time every night. A little exercise during the day would help too. No tv after 8 will help. Reading always puts me to sleep too. Something that will tell your brain that it is time to sleep. A regular routine would do the trick. Deep breathing, I know it sounds silly but I concentrate on relaxing every part of my body slowly from head to toe. You think you are relaxed until you put your mind to it and realize how relaxed you aren't. I also sing in my head a lullaby that I sing to my son, it seems to work.  

Answer 2

I like Tasha's ideas and think I will try them myself  :)  

The best to you...

Answer 3

Try going for a swim a few hours before your preferred bedtime.

That way you tire your muscles and you want sleep.
