The following advice, collected from various sources, may help you to fall asleep.
The bed uses only to sleep and... not to read, work, watch TV, eat or make phone calls.
If you're lying down and you're starting to fear that you won't be able to sleep, try some of these techniques: Count sheep or count from behind 100 (this preferably) to stop thinking about yesterday's or tomorrow's problems; take a deep breath for a while (even that helps me) or imagine a quiet place.
If you cannot sleep lying down for 30 minutes or more, get out of bed for a while. What you have to do is read something boring.
Take a nap. In other words, try to go to sleep at the same time and also wake up at the same time.
Before bedtime I avoid smoking and drinking like coffee... not only coffee, but other drinks like coca cola and her friends and even tea.
Avoid alcohol just before you fall asleep a little glass may set your mind on getting some sleep, but such sleep may be interrupted by waking periods.
Try also to wake up at the same time, not to sleep until you feel that you are satisfied.
Buy a hard mattress and keep the room well ventilated, I can't sleep when it's warm. I'm more tired at cold temperatures. Someone's the opposite, but that's what works with me. Try to find the temperature that suits you.
You can also try these: a warm shower, a glass of warm milk, light snacks, massages or mild soothing music that is then automatically turned off
For those of you who want maximum silence, use headphones to close your ears.
If you have pain in your joints or headaches, take a step against the pain before bedtime (certainly no caffeine)
Avoid stimulating readings or television shows late at night. The night is to sleep so let it remain.
If insomnia persists stubbornly, then visit the doctor to see if any health problems (such as depression, anxiety, hyperthyroidism, heart failure, or that chronic pulmonary obstructive disease) are not keeping you awake. If everything is in order after the check, you may ask your doctor to describe any sleep pills that may be useful for a short period of time.
Do you also have any advice that would be good to share with those who are having trouble sleeping and that many would like to know how to sleep?
