kelley	try not to eat before you go to bed. do some exercises for at least 15 minutes (take a shower afterwards, ofc), they will get you very tired. listening to quiet, relaxing music can help, but it can also do the opposite, so try that only if the first two don't help. oh, imagining some beautiful things and daydreaming helps me fall asleep sometimes. and i usually have nice dreams when i do that :)) hope i helped.

triple_dutch	First off, why are you not sleeping well? If it's because you have trouble stopping your mind from going in overdrive, here's some tips: - Repeating the word 'the' in your head over and over again might help if your thoughts are racing. If not, at least you'll make yourself laugh. - Count backwards from a hundred. You'll probably not reach one. - Play some relaxing music in the background, for example ambient music. There's enough of it to be found on the internet, for example from Soma FM (http://somafm.com/) or Spheric Lounge (http://www.sphericlounge.de/) - See if putting some lavender scent in the room helps, for example esotheric oil on your pillow or lavender flowers in the bedroom. - If worrying and fussing is the problem, take a few minutes right before bed to think about everything you could worry about. After that, don't worry anymore. There's a time for worrying and a time for sleeping. - Sometimes it helps to have a real 'ritual' for bed. Putting on a pyjama, going to the bathroom, taking any medication, lights off, always in a set order. - Try to avoid reading in bed, watching t.v. in bed, etc. It's best if you automatically associate your bed with sleeping. And of course, if you're sensitive to it avoid caffeine (coffee, tea, cola etc) and heavy meals right before bed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bradley F	I know very little about meditation, but have found that if I can lay on my back in bed with my palms up and relax to the point of feeling my hands, feet and legs tingle a little and think about my day and try to find a positive thing that happened my mind relaxes as well. Then I write in a journal or find another way to unload the stress. Hey, if you're spiritual, pray a little...hey, it couldn't hurt. Camomile or Cinnamon tea helps a little too. Good luck...sweet dreams Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
