Gads with this weather here, from rain and cool to hot and steamy, sleep has been next to nill. I mean the last five days, I have had maybe 5 hourfs sleep? And nothing works....
I could use some pointers on this too.
I even had 2 glasses of port last night, more than I usually allow myself.

dunno

Every time I remember to use this it works like a charm: picture the inside of your head filled with deep dark black velvet. Every time a thought or feeling tries to push through wrap it in the black. Once you get the the black perfect...well I always wake up the next morning so I am not exactly clear on what happens. Warm milk and a turkey sandwich are full of natural tryptophan which encourages sleep as well, not everyone wants to try imagining the dark.

I have a king size pillow and a body pillow. When I just cannot fall asleep I curle up with my body pillow that has a male colone smell and it seems to work 50% of the time.

You can use a ladies perfume instead if you want!laugh

One thing that helps me sometimes is listening to a cd that has Thunderstorms recoreded to it. It helps me relax.
Try listening to some of your favorite music once.

Alcool doesnt allow you to sleep well but doing sports some hours before sleeping really helps

I read that going to bed with wet socks on helps. Failing that drink or heroin. But seriously the wet socks is meant to work.....dunno how or why though..

I really can't believe wet socks would help, they would get cold and I can't sleep with cold feet..laugh

Music helps me, classical with rain over,
Coldplay,
Thunderstorm or theme music.
My hotty bag.
Reading a book.

It's staying asleep I have trouble with...moping
