falling asleep faster.. Options

[xFaith]

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 ;)

[duplicatex0x0x0]

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.

[*mipadi*]

I usually read before bed.

[ApocalypseAelis]

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.

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

i also suggest classical music on very low volume.

They dont work on me.

[vash1530]

have you tried what zatanna posted?

[WHOngos144]

I fall asleep faster when I listen to music.

[sharpandcuddly]

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.

[M16A4]

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!

[LittleLulu]

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.

[misskentucky]

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

[*takingbacksandy*]

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"

[KissMe2408]

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.

[espressive]

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!!!

[imm]

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

[Anime_gurl_4eva]

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.

[Ington]

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.

[krispy_kreme333]

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

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.
