How do you fall asleep faster? when you have problems with sleeping or something.. what can you do to sleep better? (drinking something before you go to bed etc ??)

Oh yeah, i dont mean sleepingpills, lol ;)

Usually I can just turn on the radio, turn off the lights, and then it's easy to go to sleep, usually I can sleep with the light on, and the TV on, still in my work clothes, but when I really cant sleep the easiest way for me to is To just get two blankets(so I'm really warm) Turn on the radio, and turn off the fan and light, and then I can fall asleep really easily

chamomile or sleepy time tea :) that helps. Also, turn everything off, if possible.

I usually read before bed.

I stay awake for a week.




No, I'm kidding.

I just lie there and think about things...anything. My life, my friends, questions...because I don't get the chance to just lie idle and think deeply anytime during the day, so I take advantage of the time before I go to sleep. And soon I just drift off.

i have a portable dvd player in my room and just watch it. within like 15 minutes, i get really sleepy. or read. reading a boring book will put you to sleep really fast. =]

a glass of milk cold or warm. it's proven to help people sleep. and you get healthy bones and teeth.

i used to read comics but that didn't work.
i also suggest classical music on very low volume.

They dont work on me.

have you tried what zatanna posted?

I fall asleep faster when I listen to music.

Yea, music for me. That's the only thing that can get me to sleep. Without music it takes like 3 hours to fall asleep, with music, 1 at the most, usually about 30 minutes though.

I googled this once.

It helps if you drink warm milk, it's something in the milk that helps.

And um, try not to think about anything. It's hard for me sometimes, but whatever. Or read a boring book.

There's a lot of ways to go to sleep.

1. Think yourself to sleep, which sometimes works.
2. Watch TV.
3. Listen to music.
4. NyQuil!

reading a book doesn't help if i have alot of things on my mind.

best way is hot milk, or some type of cold medecine that makes you drowsy. some cough medecins do that too.

I usually count backwards from 100 to 1. That makes me fall asleep. Sometimes it takes mulitple times though.

okay i tried the warm milk thing.. that definately did not work for me. not only that, the taste just grossed me out. (i hate drinking milk alone) i tried drinking warm things too, tea and such.. not a damn thing.

reading books before going to bed makes me quite sleepy. theres a list of things you can do. google "cure for insomnia"

Try reading something. That usually helps for me.
Or drinking something. I don't know why lol. Hot chocolate can make me sleepy. lol
Or just turn on the tv and watch until your eyes bleed.
That always works.

Count sheeps!




Haha. I'm just kidding. I don't know. I turn on some music at a low volume & I just lie there. If you keep on tossing & turning, it stimulates your brain, therefore, taking a longer time for you to fall asleep. So my suggestion? Lie still!!!

Play the "Close-Your-Eyes-For-As-Long-As-Possible" game. Hahah I have no idea why, but it works for me.

i have this same problem. i get in my piamas (pajamas) and i`m all relaxed the lights are off and i turn the tv off. i lay there thinking (bekuz there is usually a lot on my mind) and i dont fall asleep. what i do, i go to the bathroom and lay on the floor for awhile and then i get back in bed. bekuz the floor is so uncomfortable and my bed is, my body instantly gets very relaxed and tired. causing me to drift off into sleep. but hell i`m too lazy to do that all the time, so i juss lie there until i fall asleep. at like 1 am.

Um, okay, everyone seems to be saying "Get tired and sleep." That just doesn't work.

This is what you do.

Lay down and close your eyes. Make sure you're comfortable. Now, stay there. Do not move any part of you. Not even in the slightest bit. Put each part of your body to sleep part by part (You can even tell your body part in your mind to fall asleep, it works). I can put my entire body to sleep at one time, but that takes practice. After your body is asleep, take your focus off of everything and let your mind wander. You should fall asleep.

^ Oh I have done that before. That works really well.

that sounds interesting, like some psychic shit lol. im gonna try that out

i usually listen to my cd player everynight. it helps, but i try to take off my headphones and put my cd player away before i fall asleep cuz i've broken a looooooooooot of headphones this way lol. i guess i should buy some earphones.

Go to school, record your teacher's worst lecture, and play it before you sleep.

AHAH!


in my health class i learned that if you can`t lie down, and within 10 minutes your not asleep, you might have insomnia. some quick ways to fix it, go to another room, ANY ROOM besides yours, sit down and open a book, within 5 minutes of opening your book you be sleepy then simply go back to bed, and close ur eyes. if ur still not falling asleep see your doctor on insomnia.

Warm Milk or watching a boring show or movie or reading a boring book. zzzzzzzzzzzz

^^that might work :o)

Buy some lavender and sprinkle it aroound your bed room. I swear it works!

i have such a difficult time sleeping. i lay down for like half an hour, tossing and turning once in a while because laying still in one position for so long gets me uncomfortable. usually takes me 20 minutes to 2 hours to fall asleep

MUSIC!
the cure for everything =]

What I do and what you should do (if it works for you):
first lie still on your bed, make sure your in a comfortable position first
then I usually close my eyes and then instead of thinking of other things, I trie to clear my mind by picturing white.

another thing I do is before I go to sleep is this breathing technique I learned in yoga. You can learn it in the CosmoGirl magazine (febuary 2006)

good luck!

a glass of milk :)

i like to cop some bomb ass head and then smoke a fatty... pass out while listenin to sum jimmy hendrix

i listen to soft music

I dont like when i lay down to sleep beuse then I think and when i think i think or the worst.. :-( BUT say on teh coputer as long as you can then when you fell your eyes to droop then go to bed then just sing to your self any song at all .. make sure not to move

Read a textbook. Preferably something complicated with big words.

good old counting sheep. never worked for me. slience and what i do is, i try to replay a movie in my mind. and eventually im asleep before i know it. sometimes the movie continues one way or another in my dream. only sometimes though.

listen to Bright Eyes and try and turn all the lights off.

Yeah. That works.

A big reason why people can't get to sleep is because their body might be tired and their mind is wide awake. Reading, getting on the computer, writing, drawing, anything that requires your mind will make your mind tired, so it's easier to get to sleep.

read a book or watch a tv if you have one in your room. either that or fantasize about something youre excited about. it works for me.

I listen to calm music, sometimes jazz even.
It helps.
make sure you don't have a lot on your mind.

i lay down in bed and read a magazine or something.

i just watch tv and end up falling asleep on a commercial.

but then i'm mad because i missed part of the show. haha.

None of these methods are proven by anything.

This will actually work:
Lie down. Do not move. Do not toss, do not turn. Your body will scream at you to move, but you have to fight it. Just lie <i>completely</i> motionless. Soon enough, you will go to sleep regardless of whether you're even tired or not.

HAHA That's the exact same thing I do. My doctor told me that exercising in the evening a few hours before you go to bed will help. I used to not be able to fall asleep. Now I fall asleep watching tv or just thinking about life and the future and stuff.

just listening to the radio helps me go to sleep.
but i never fall asleep fast, it usually takes me 30 min-1 hour.
and sometimes i can't sleep at all and wake up every five seconds...

listen to some relaxing,soft classic music.it does work

My dad does this late at night when he wants me to go to sleep. he's a sneaky bastard.


Good 'ol Conor Oberst. nothing calmer.


Classical music helps too.


I've done this before. it works

Sleeping on your stomach, i've heard helps too. Also, one time I stayed at a hotel and they had this Sleep CD for you. You play it when you go to sleep and they use relaxation techniques to help you fall asleep. it worked like a charm. i was so rested in the morning.

I listen to my Ipod, if that doesnt work then i put the tv on and just watch until i fall asleep.. and if that doesnt work i do jumping jacks to the point where im really tired and if that doesnt work i take a warm bath =D
