    Make your room totally dark (Not even night light), run cold water over feet or soak and leave them uncovered (To keep cool).

    They say, if your extremities are kept cool you'll sleep better, (They LIE )

    They do lie...about cool extremities, warm milk, dark/cool/quiet room, etc.

    He wants to sleep ,not the water bed tuture,no plese please please,

    Hot bath and dim light.  Stay away from sexy women.  They tend to keep you awake. 

    Sorry but you don`t qualify to join my "Insomniacs Anon"Club..until you`ve had 2 hrs or less sleep almost every night for at least a year!!:-¬...("Sleep"..I do recall that word..but I can`t remember what it actually is...I`ll have to google it)!!:-)

    I hear that, I have to use Ambien 10mg to get that.

    The last time I had a PROPER sleep was when I had a G.A(general anaesthetic)!!!...Man was I mad when they woke me!!:-0..lol!!

    These 2, 3 and 4 hour nights has gotten old and has started making me feel old. The Ambien helps occasionally with getting there but doesn't keep you there.

    millie and dad- I'm with you! I can't recall the last time I slept through the night.

    @dad59..they sure do take their toll on you!...I can`t take sleepers due to previous addiction to them)...I don`t drink anymore...(Which I know isn`t the right answer..but used to help a bit,don`t quote me)!!;-)....I just hope that t he saying that nobody died from exhaustion !!..Is true:-?...(I know I bang on a lot about it on here...but it`s one awful problem/condition to cope with 24/7...(as it sounds like you know)!!!:-z

    All to well(I know), for to many years.

    An orgasm often helps.

    I heard of more people lately who can't sleep . What's up with that ?  Is it something going around ? ;-)


    Anyway, have a radio in your bed, and listen to talk shows or oldies, or country, or classical music. You'll soon grow sleepy. If that doesn't work, take two Tylenols. It makes a lot of people sleepy. I does me.

    Jump some bones, it works for me.

    Tonight you might have slept less due to which you need to sleep again .

    1. Regular Sleep & Wake Schedule
    2. Soothing Bedtime Routine
    3. Eat correctly Before Bedtime - Finish eating a minimum of 2-3 hours before your family bedtime. Eating or drinking an excessive amount of may make you less comfortable when settling down for bed.
    4. Get some exercise regularly - Exercise regularly. It is advisable to complete your workout a minimum of a few hours before bedtime. Generally, exercising regularly makes it easier to go to sleep and contributes to sounder sleep.
    5. Avoid Caffeine - Avoid caffeine (e.g. coffee, tea, sodas, chocolate) close to bedtime. It may keep you awake. Caffeine is really a stimulant, which means it may produce an alerting effect.
    6. Say 'NO' to Nicotine! - Avoid nicotine (e.g. cigarettes, cigarettes and tobacco products). Used close to bedtime, it can result in poor sleep. Nicotine is another stimulant. Smoking before going to sleep makes it more difficult to go to sleep.
    7. Hold Off around the Alcohol - Avoid alcohol near to bedtime. Although many people consider alcohol as a sedative, it really disrupts sleep, causing nighttime awakenings. Consuming alcohol results in a night of less restful sleep.

    Hope these pointers help some people!
