Relaxation music - a set called Atmopheres works for me.
A bath
Eat a snack before bed so don't wake up hungry
Nancy J Napier has books that have relaxation exercises in them
Belleruth Naparstak has books with relaxation exercises in them. Her website also has window/real player audio players with various relaxation exercises in her "spa" and archives areas
At my last therapy session my therapist and I did two relaxation exercises from Belleruths soft covered book called Invisible Heros, geared for relaxing the body and getting sleep. she recoded them at the same time and I have used t hem now for three nights in a row one night of which is my hardest night of the week and they worked wonderfully. I took a bath, then climbed in bed with my favorite comforter, blanket, pillow and my cat and turned on the session tape and off to snooze land I went. In fact I fell asleep before turning the payer off each time so I need to get a package of batteries. I think Ill get a few packages LOL.
