You have the answer in the second word tour post slstewar18.. I do not know you so I dont know what is going through your mind. But one thing I can say is whatever thoughts/ worries are in your mind just try to forget them and lay down with a peaceful mind. This happens a lot to me too when I am tensed I keep thinking of stuff and lay awake for a while. So trying to have a clear mind has helped me and hope it will help you too.. So sleep tight :)

Try some hot milk, it helps me to sleep when I am like that. I guess I got used to it. But if all else fails try some sleeping pills.

Thanks, I'm about to try the milk. I don't have any sleeping pills at the house right now. I was taking nyquil for a few nights to help me get to sleep but I ran out.

They say that milk helps...so why not try drinking a glass of milk before you go to sleep. For me, I think of good things before I sleep...like plans, what to do tomorrow and stuff...and from there, sleep will just come.

Hi there sistewart18, have a warm bath and drink a warm milk before you go to bed. This would help you relax and refreshing from a tired day at work or household chores. Its very tiring the whole day and this happens when we are about to sleep our mind is thinking a lot of things, from what happened the whole day and ofcourse we our thinking the things we will do the next day. This always happens most especially with a busy wife and mom that is very flexible and busy everyday. Have time for yourself, relax.. Try to watch TV before going to sleep, have a light snack and pamper yourself like massaging your face. I hope this would help my dear, have a great day. Keep it up!

I tried counting sheep before, didn't work at all. Once I had a hard time sleeping since I watched a horror movie that night, I just prayed and prayed until I got tired and then fell asleep.

There are some ways for you to get to sleep if you can't. To let you know, I am not into reading. Although I read. I read some books or magazines. After a while reading, I feel like sleepy. I feel like dozing and go to bed instead of continue reading.

I also experienced a month ago, your mind doesn't want to sleep, because there is something in your mind....maybe you have a problem ? If so then solve your problem...for a while do not sleep during the day time, make yourself busy..... If it does not work, Give suggestion to your mind and say "sleep" repeat that word continues until you are not aware....It's mean don't let your mind thinking everything. Or you can doing Yoga before you sleep That's work for me !!!
