How To Fall Asleep Quicker?

Try reading a book to relax you...also dim the lights where you are sitting, having just enough light to read by, maybe a glass of wine will do the trick for you.  Also, dimming the lights naturally triggers your bodies internal clock to go into it's sleep mode.  We must all have sleep to rejuvenate us and to help our bodies heal from any type of trauma.  There are a lot of ill effects caused by lack of sleep.  Good Luck!!  Janes

I play tetris on my cell with one eye closed.  It don't take long for the other eye to shut and me be off to sleep.

Of course, I end up being a loser the last game!LOL!

Prayer will also do the trick.  I never get finished praying!!!

Good advice by Janes.  I would just add--don't go to bed if you aren't tired and don't lay in bed for hours if you aren't sleeping.  The body needs to be trained that the bed is for sleeping.

Also, for adults, a dose of 3 mg. Melatonin, about one hour before bedtime will help you sleep so good.  Try it.

Good exercise like walking for 30 min is good before sleeping, this i have been implementing from past 1 year

I'm not sure , but I'm only a kid ,(9)And I tell my dad whenever I can't sleep, my dad says "Just Lay down, relax, close your eyes, don't try to sleep, RELAX . " My dad did not say exactly that but he meant it.
That's all I know!!

Refrain from strenuous physical activity for at least an hour before you go to bed and try not to eat late either. Read a book instead of watching TV right before bed.

One thing that helps is to start winding down before actually laying down. I agree with dimming the lights, and having a nightly routine. Milk actually contains a chemical that helps relax you. Warm or cold, it will help. Chamomile tea, or Diphenhydramine  [the active ingredient in most O.T.C sleep medications] also used for allergies, Taken in the proper dosage, is safe for most people. Read the label.  They relax you gently, and aid in breathing if you have allergies. Lay down in a dark room, slightly cool if possible, and turn off most, if not all noise. You should find yourself wandering off to sleep in no time. If that doesn't work or you don't get an answer here, talk to your physician about it. He may have a solution. Hope you catch those Zzzz's

First, you have to know WHY you are having trouble sleeping.  If it's hormonal, you probably need to have your hormones balanced.  If you are menopausal, it's hormonal, it's chemical, it's a beast!!  You need to read all you can on it and probably see a good doctor.
If you are getting older, or older, you probably need melatonin, DHEA, which you can get as 5-HTP.  A good health food store can give you recommendations.
If you are anxious or depressed, that means you need to deal with your issues as best as you can, with help possibly.
If you are stressed, then exercise and walking in the mornings or earlier in the day is good for this as well as all reasons for not sleeping.  Most all have to do with brain chemicals being imbalanced, but you have to know which ones.  This takes detective work and help from those who know.  The Internet has wonderful sites to help you.
You can make up your mind to get up early and make a firm decision as to when to go to bed, and do it.  Stay with the routine.
There are sleep studies and labs that you can look into.
I live in Alaska, so the 6 months or darkness and 6 months of light play havoc with the serotonin, which is helped by melatonin.
This is complicated and you really need to know why first, then go from there.  Told by me, a long-term insomniac!!
There are so many remedies, but a remedy will not work if it's not the right diagnosis.  So, you have homework to do.  Good thoughts and wishes your way...........

Try playing games on your computer or doing crossword puzzles.  Try anything that you have to use your eyes and hopefully you will get tired.  Try to stay out of bed until you can't possibly hold your head up any longer.
