You can try meditation, yoga or other relaxation techniques such as journaling to help you stay asleep. If you know what is causing your sleeplessness, such as stress, worry, etc. then try to write your feelings into a journal before you go to sleep, essentially putting your worries to sleep. Also, if you don’t have to get up in the morning, try to stay awake for as long as you can, try to stay up for a whole day and a whole night and the whole day again, until it is time for you to go to bed, say 10 pm. Then when you lay to sleep you should fall asleep rather quickly. Be sure to set your alarm for like 8 or 9 am so you don’t sleep too long and try getting on that schedule. If you have spent too much time staying up at night, your body gets used to that and then has trouble sleeping when you need to. Trying to reprogram your body’s internal alarm clock should help you sleep easier and for a longer period of time.
* regular excercise schedule
* regular and healthy diet (don’t eat after 6 pm)
* take the time to write down everything you worry about and when and/or how you will take care of the worry before you crawl into bed.
* develop a sleep routine
* avoid using your bed (or ideally your bedroom) for activities other than sleep and sex.
* sex or masturbation
To fall asleep, I suggest reading a book. This always works for me. As soon as I pick up the book and start reading about a paragraph, I’m dead asleep. And for staying asleep, try going to bed a little earlier than usual. The more you sleep, the more tired your body gets so maybe this way, you can stay asleep longer. I hope this helps. :)
If you want a non-medicinal approach , try melatonin. It’s a supplement that you can get over the counter in your local pharmacy.
Melatonin is supposed to reset the “clock” inside the brain and help your circadian rhythm to naturally begin to take one phase of sleep cycle on into the next one.
most insomniacs get disrupted when the 5 sleep cycle phases change over the course of one night..or rest period. Melatonin is supposed to somehow get that back on track and keep you from waking up between your sleep cycles.
It’s still a pilll…and I suffer from very bad insomnia..I take a pill called lunesta. been there, done that, worn out the t-shirt. All my life. If it’s just a phase you are going through, or some rough times, stressfull moments in your life, the best you can do is give in, try melatonin, and if it sticks along so long you start to call in sick to work my best suggestion is to try to fight the underlying causes of why you are not feeling comfortable going to sleep, like depression, or stress. there are very good meds and herbs out there to help with that. insomnia can also be diverted by staying away from alchohol and caffine late at night, watching alarming television, keeping the alarm clock facing you while you sleep, but a really good buddy you may wanna try before any supplements is to change your linens on your bed to softer , change your pillows to something more comfortable, or change your mattress….and sleepytime tea by cellesial seasonings. there you go!
First, have a think about WHY you’re having sleeping problems. Are your sleep problems a symptom of something else? If so, your first step is to figure out if you can tackle this ‘something else’ – because if so, your sleep problems may take care of themselves. We’ll come back to that in a moment.
There are a few good suggestions above (except the person who told you to raid the medicine cabinet for anything that causes drowsiness). As a rule, you’re better avoiding habit-forming medicines, and you obviously want to which is good. For depression without any specific cause, see your doctor: medication may help here. Herbal remedies like valerian are recognised to do no harm, but their effect isn’t proven and it’s not ideal to become dependent on any pill (whether its effect is placebo or therapeutic) to get you to sleep.
But first things first: you’ll need to give people some idea why you’re having these problems before anybody can give you helpful and targeted suggestions. If you have specific worries which are easy to identify as the source of your problem, then suggestions might include writing your worries down before going to bed and coming up with a few actions which you will take the next day to help address them – this can be a soothing exercise that gives your fretful thoughts a much-needed activity and target, unlike when you’re lying awake in bed.
If your sleep problems are related to other medical or environmental conditions – pain, hayfever, noise etc – then a host of other suggestions apply. Think of the environment: Foam earplugs give a useful sense of isolation which may help you nod off. Block off any distractions (e.g. reflections from streetlights), by tucking in curtains, changing the position of your bed, or trying an eye-mask. If your mind just won’t switch off, then avoid anything which can excite (TV, videogames etc) before going to bed, and don’t watch TV in the bedroom or read gripping murder mysteries in bed. Simple breathing exercises can be very relaxing – there are loads on the web – and meditation can also help. Sex is a known soporific if you have access to it.
There are stacks of suggestions, but just have a think about the source of the sleep problem first. That will help you to look at the best sleep suggestions. And if you do have an issue in your life which you take steps to tackle during daylight hours, you may find your sleep problem improves as a consequence.

How does one drink a pill? You drink a liquid and swallow the pill.
