i have like horrible sleeping problems...like sometimes i dont even fall asleep till almost 3 in the morning. does anyone have any like tips or something to help me fall asleep?


thanks ♥

There are a couple of things that you could try. Mainly, your body needs to develop a routine. Try to always wake up at the same time every morning, if you can help it. Also, try to go to bed at the same time every night. However, don't lie in bed for more than half an hour. If you've been lying awake for more than that, get up and do something that's unstimulating. Read a book or magazine, or look at the stars. Don't watch TV or move around a lot. Then try laying down again.

Also, do not excersice less than three hours before bed. And don't eat too close to bed time either. If you have the option, use your room only for sleeping, reading, and other quiet activities. Just try not to do stressful things like term papers in your room. You want your body to associate your room with relaxation.

If you smoke or drink alcohol or soda, try not to do so right before bed. Nicotine and caffine are both stimulants, and not a good idea. Also, you might pass out freom alcohol, but it's an unnatural sleep, and won't fix the problem in the long term. That's the same reason that sleeping pills should be a last resort. If you absolutely must try sleeping pills, try mild ones first, like the tylenol sleeping pills that you can get at the drug store.

Finally, experiment with light and noise levels in your room. My husband and I both sleep best in a pitch black room with white noise. We use a fan with a noisy motor to make our noise. However, my sister sleeps best with a soft glow in her room, and soft music playing.
