What are some good ways to help fall asleep?

Question

ughhh

i need to be asleep because i cant be sleepy in the morning when i have to get up early. i tried listening to my ipod, sleeping on the other side of the bed, and now im up and on the computer

grrr idk what to do

Answer 1

Do some yoga before bed. Finish with meditating, always puts me right to sleep =)

Answer 2

A few ideas in no particular order.

1. Avoid caffeine in all its forms for at least 6 hours before you plan on going to bed.

2. Get some exercise during the day

3. Keep your bed as a place for sleeping.  If you lounge, read, etc. in your bed, then studies have shown you confuse your body.

4. Take a warm bath to relax

5. Avoid naps

Answer 3

lie in bed, feel your body, (not like touching) think of how your blood is running from your heart to your fingers, back up your arms, down your body, to your legs to your very toes. by the time you're to your toes, you should be knocked out.

or, picture a circle, think of lines around the circle, or lines coming from the circle, kind of like rays on a sun. by the 100th ray you should be asleep, if not sooner.

if all else fails, grab your nyquil, tylenol, ambien, bars, cold medicine. drug yourself.

Answer 4

Go to the store and get some sominex or other sleep aid.

Answer 5

try reading - works for me

Answer 6

Answer 7

Wish I knew.  Sometimes if I read one of my textbooks for a few minutes I get tired, and can fall asleep.  Usually doesn't work though.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

tickle yourself, release some stress, and hopefully sleep well.

2.read some simple book.

Answer 15

Take benadryl.

It has a sleep aid in it that makes you fall asleep in a matter of minutes of taking it.

I take it and it works really great and i've been able to get up early.

Answer 16

drink milk

Answer 17

COUNT SHEEP... plain and simple.

Answer 18

work out a good sweat in the evening.go for a long walk,climb a tree or more.do push ups,or

pull ups.probably the best thing that you can do is go for a swim.

Answer 19

Do something stupid(silly stuff) that is totally worth less; not like cutting yourself. What I mean is like talk to yourself, count to a million(if you could), smile(always makes you sleep better), spin your body until you're dizzy, etc.

Answer 20

It probably depends on some things. Teenagers naturally like to be awake at night, it's simply your body clock. So try your best to deal with it. Sleeping is easier if you eat well, be physically active(but not late at night), avoid sugar and caffeine, and avoid TV, movies, or anything stimulating a few hours before bedtime. Some people like to have a bath or read before bed. Music is not good to fall asleep to unless it is in another language. Anything you are familliar with that your brain can predict will keep you awake. Meditation CDs that don't follow a melody might be preferable.

Eventually, getting your body in the habit of waking up early and not allowing yourself to sleep in will help your body clock a lot.
