What麓s the best sleeping methods?

Answer:
Hi Moraima, the key often lies in changes to your routine during the day and when you go to bed. Try these steps:* Limit your time in bed. Too much time in bed can promote shallow, unrestful sleep. Try to get up at the same time each morning, regardless of when you went to bed. * Avoid "trying" to sleep. The harder you try, the more awake you'll become. Read or watch television until you become drowsy and fall asleep naturally. * Hide the bedroom clocks. Set your alarm so that you know when to get up, but then hide all clocks in your bedroom. The less you know what time it is at night, the better you'll sleep. * Exercise and stay active. Get at least 20 to 30 minutes of vigorous exercise daily, preferably 5 to 6 hours before bedtime. And keep yourself busy 贸 boredom also can lead to insomnia. * Avoid or limit caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Caffeine and nicotine can keep you from falling asleep. Alcohol can cause unrestful sleep and frequent awakenings. * Reset your body's clock. If you fall asleep too early, use light to push back your internal clock. In the evenings, go outside in the sun or sit near a bright light. * Check your medications. If you take medications regularly, check with your doctor to see if they may be contributing to your insomnia. Also check the labels of over-the-counter products to see if they contain caffeine or other stimulants (such as pseudoephedrine). * Don't put up with pain. If a painful condition bothers you, make sure the pain reliever you take is effective enough to control your pain while you're sleeping. * Find ways to relax. A warm bath or light snack before bedtime may help prepare you for sleep. Having your partner give you a massage also may help relax you. Hypnotherapy or Hypnotherapy tapes and CDs are valuable tools to relax you. * Avoid or limit naps. Naps can make it harder to fall asleep at night. If you can't get by without one, try to limit a nap to 45 minutes. * Minimize sleep interruptions. Close your bedroom door, or create a subtle background noise, such as running a fan, to help drown out other noises. Keep your bedroom temperature comfortable, usually cooler than you keep your bedroom during the day. Drink less before bedtime so you won't have to go to the bathroom as often.

Sleep on your right side; heart side should be up; pillow should just about keep neck straight; right ear should rest on open palm of the right hand; legs as straight as possible; take light warm milk before going to bed; pray or meditate a little; empty your mind of the day's events that some time run like a movie in your mind; think of pleasant things and smile!Cheers

what I do is drink some warm milk (tastes better than it sounds), avoid watching tv or doing anything that promotes energy about an hour before i want to get to sleep, put on clothes that are very loose-fitting and comfortable, turn some very soft, relaxing music on, and make sure the light in my room is minimal and soft. make sure that you relax your mind or make yourself bored when you want to get to sleep, because this is why people fall asleep in school. medication reeaallyy helps, but they dont let me take it anymore, so i see where you're coming from. however, if you tell your doctor about your insomnia, he will prescribe you something like ambien to get your "internal clock" normal again. hope this helped :)
