Cant sleep
This question is for my boyfriend. Whenever he tries to go to sleep he cant. He says he stays up all night just tossing and turning. He has tried everything. He takes a warm shower before bed because he said that makes him tired and he will drink a warm glass of milk, he has even tried sleeping pills--they dont seem to work too well. He says that wen hes just laying there everything is racing through his head of what he has to do the next day what he should of done today, how conversations went during the day, basically ANYTHING. I'm all out of ideas for him and so isnt he because he has said this has been happening for a while. Hes not a doctor person and refuses to go. Hes 19. Any one know anything?
Thank You!!

Try valerian root. It's a non- prescribed herbal supplement. It doesnt exhaust u , it slowly makes u relax until u fall asleep. It's also great because then u wont wake up feeling groggy as a result of taking sleeping pills. try em out n see how they work ...hope i helped! xoxo kara

MEDITATION. Lol. Sounds like he needs to slow down his brain. In through your nose, out through your mouth. As you exhale, think of exhaling your thoughts. Picture yourself at the top of a staircase. Inhale, go down a step as you exhale, counting backwards from ten in your mind. Every time a thought pops up, go up one step and start over from there. Like "*inhale* *exhale*/10...*inhale**Exhale*/9...*In**out*8...I should've done that assignment...wait...(then go up one step) *in**out*/9...8...7...and so forth until you reach the bottom or 1. By that time, you should be deep in meditation, or asleep. I have trouble sleeping too, and that usually helps.
I hope this helps!

Sometimes listening to soft music or general background noise helps. You can repeat a phrase or a song lyric over and over until you fall asleep.
Is he getting enough exercise? Sometimes even walking helps you sleep later. And not eating less than 2 hours before going to bed keep you from having problems while sleeping.
Worrying about falling asleep while trying to fall asleep does not help at all. He can try reading a book or getting up for a short period of time until he can try falling asleep again.
