8. Exercise Regularly

Is it just me or does it seem as if exercise cures everything? Exercise regularly, but make sure you do not do it too close to your bedtime. Your health affects the quality of your sleep. Some exercises that work great include walking, running, fencing or even yoga. It is important to get oxygen and move the body around. This will definitely help you cure insomnia.

7. Write down Your Worries

Write down Your Worries Are you having problems sleeping at night? I like to keep a pad of paper by my bed and write by thoughts and worries down. By doing this, I will no longer have to think about them in bed. This will give me lots of time to deal with them tomorrow when I wake up. How does this sound?

Thanks, I've been having trouble getting to sleep (used to being up all the time). Yesterday I was tossing and turning in bed for 2 hours before finally drifting off! horrible ):

I don't need to sleep much....5 hours tops, weekends maybe 6....but the best way to sleep like a baby is to take a relaxing shower, then drink a bottle of beer and go straight to bed....it really works, cause beer is good for nerves, relaxes you without having to drinks pills

Very nice post indeed. Many very useful tips. I know some people need noise to fall asleep and others have to have total silence. Sleep is extremely important for the rest of your health..I have been there before, and after numerous tests and a trip to ER, it turned out that I was suffering from sleep deprivation. Lack of restful sleep can really mess up your Circadian Rhythm.
