Anulom-Vilom Pranayama
Method to close the nostrils:
To be done by closing the nostrils one after another, close the right nostril by the right hand thumb, and likewise close the left nostril by the 2nd and 3rd fingers. Breathed in through left nostril represents energy of the Moon, which symbolizes peace, and has a cooling effect. Hence for purification of Nadis (vein/nerve), beginning of this Pranayama has to be made by the left nostril. Close the right side nostril with the right hand thumb. Inhale slowly through the left nostril till the lungs are filled. Then close the left nostril with the second and third fingers. Open the right nostril and exhale through it. Repeat this exercise slowly in the beginning, and with practice, increase the speed. When you are able to practice this exercise for a long time, inhale with as much force as is possible for you, then exhale also forcefully. This practice of inhalation and exhalation alternatively through the right and left nostril, as indicated above with force, should be done for 3 minutes. If you feel tired, rest for sometimes and resume. Regular practice will enable you to do this Pranayama for 10 minutes. After some practice being established, this Pranayama should be done for 5 to 10 minutes daily, depending upon one’s capacity. However, in summer season it should be done for duration starting from 3 minutes and up to a maximum of 5 minutes.

old people say that drinking milk would make you sleepy. when i was a kid my mother would ask me to drink milk before going to bed. i do feel more sleepy then. but as i grew older it's effect to me was reversed. everytime i drink milk the more i get awake. i don't feel sleepy at all. for insomniacs, the only thing i can suggest is to read a book. a boring one, so that you would get sleepy. that's what i don whenever i have those attacks. yes, i'm an insomniac too. but if that doesn't help, do some writing or watch movies. or sit in front of your computer.

Most people say that milk is good for people with insomnia.I also have a try for several times,but it seems not to be effecitive on me.There isn't any change after I have drunk milk.So I doubt whether it is true or not.Who can give us a scientifical explaination.If I'm insomnia,I usaully listen some english novel or some light music.Sometimes they are effective.You can have a try.Good luck to you.
