Tips on how to Fall Asleep

Tips

 * Try sleeping with a pet; it can be very calming knowing that there is a living being with you. However, if your pet moves a lot, makes noise and/or lies on you, this can backfire on you!
 * Try sleeping with a cuddly friend! This can be especially helpful if you tend to get lonely at night.
 * Don't get stressed about being awake. If you're lying there, constantly thinking "I need to get to sleep now! I can't sleep; I'm in so much trouble tomorrow" you'll never get to sleep! Go downstairs, get yourself a drink and a good book and relax for half an hour and then daydream peacefully until you doze off.
 * Don't dramatically change your time that you go to bed. For example, one night you go to bed at 10:10 and the next night you plan to fall asleep at 9:00. It helps to change the time by 10 minutes so instead of 9:00 make it 10:00. Then each night reduce it until you get to the time.
 * Close your eyes and keep them closed. If your eyes are open and constantly darting around, looking at things, or blinking, it may keep you from sleeping. Just close your eyes and think of relaxing things.
 * If there's an important event on the next day like a carnival or exam, try to take your mind off of it by choosing your favorite scene in a movie or novel and alter it by adding yourself into the scene and making the scene seem much better.
 * The more active you are in the day, the more tired you will be at the end of the day, so try to stay active in the day hours!
 * If someone else sharing the bed is the cause of your inability to fall asleep, discuss the problem with your bed-mate. Unsolved, such sleeplessness can negatively impact your relationship.
 * Make use of a journal by your bedside. Instead of lying there worrying, write in your journal and leave the thoughts for dealing with during daytime.
