Hi Miss A!!!!

Sleeping problems...ARGH!!!!!!!!! I am so familier with that. There are several things that I try and for the most part it works well for me.

First, I drink chamomile tea. It is very soothing and relaxing. I drink this a little while before bed. I also, sit on my bed with my legs out straight ahead and arms to the side. I sit straight up and close my eyes. I force my mind to a peaceful, calming place. For me its the beach. But you can think of your magical place. I breathe slowly all the while thinking of my peaceful calming place. If you get distracted, dont worry, just start over. After about 10 minutes of that I will lay down. I put some very peaceful relaxing CD's on. I have rainforests CDs, Thunderstorm CD's and a mix of island sounds. I turn these on when I sleep and it helps my mind relax. It puts my focus on the sounds rather then the horrible thoughts in my head.

These are just some methods I try. Hope you get some peaceful rest soon. Take care
