Room 65 degrees, no distractions, no tv or radio, comfortable sheets and a nice comfortable blanket, not too thick. Comfortable pajamas/sleeping attire...try to go to bed the same times each night. Don't read in bed, balance the check book, get in a heated discussion if the phone rings, no bright lights, keep it as dark as possible. Your bedroom should be for SLEEPING only...(sex)....not a desk area/craft room no distractions! If you lay htere awake for longer than 30 minutes, get up and leave the bedroom. Read a book/ magazine, do something relaxgin for a few minutes, the ngo back to bed and try again. Now, the bad part.......this sounds all well and good. But....I have not been able to go to bed and get a decent nights rest for over 14 years. I do not get sleepy, I can lay there all night and see the clock to know each hour. I either get me a cup of Nyquil, or take an ambien around 10. The benedryl takes forever to kick in. I've tried the noise machines (ocean, rainfall, white noise, even a fan running...........my problem is I have way too many cars in my head and not enough lanes. Can't seem to shut down. Always thinking of something else I need to do or be doing..........Curious to to what you find out. Keep me posted ! I am always open for suggestions!

Thanks for the information

And have you ever heard of Sleep Tracks? I'm a big fan of their product myself because it induces sleep through brain waves. If you're interested, you can try looking at some of the tips and tricks I've got on my website, but the point of this was to find out more and prove what works and what doesn't.
