      Try do some stretch exercises on nights you can't seem to go to sleep. Particularly, with the neck and shoulders. You may be too tense and a little stressful for the reasoning you can't sleep. Hope this is helpful, sweet dreams!!!

          I listen to relaxing classical music. By that, I do NOT mean something like The 1812 Overture. Lol.

            can you sleep with the radio on? It works for me.

              Do you have a partner? If so, a nice body massage and rub down can also be helpful!!!

                This part of my first answer that I didn't include. Body massage and rub down is an alternate to the stretch exercises and it only applied when you had difficultly with sleep.

                Sounds lovely but won't be applicable for every night.

                I love interior decorating, so I decorate my neighbors house in my mind and very rarely get past one room before I'm sound asleep. Works every time for me!

                    Does it work? And exactly what is an amethyst stone for? I know an amethyst is a semi precious stone but that's the extent of my knowledge. Hey, by the way, do you have insomnia also or are you a "night" person???

                          Get something to tie around your eyes. (*I call it tying them down)

                          Relax your muscles.

                          listen to the sound of falling water or earth sounds. *allow yourself to envision where you are.

                          *It is important not to tense your muscles on any part of your body because it keeps your mind thinking that there is something to do.

                                        I myself use finger exercises, first buy 8 cans of the beer of your choice (must have ringpulls)


                                        Then one by one remove ringpulls and drink contents by the time you have used finger 8 times you are ready for kip.

                                          I'll  eat a light snack about 2 hours before going to bed, a turkey sandwich or some yogurt. About 30 minutes before bed I'll do some stretching or yoga. When I get in bed I'll put on my cd of raining on a tin rooftop, works for me !!!
