Any tips to help fall asleep faster?

It takes me a long time to fall asleep, any tips on how to fall asleep faster?

What do you think is preventing you from falling asleep sooner?

Mostlly Stress, Anxiety, ect..
And maybe because my room is so hot in the summer.

But ever since I got surgery its like I get tired a 2-3 but cant fall asleep till 4-5

Idk its weird.

Sorry to hear you had surgery ((Rainbowz)). It's important to develop good sleep habits, like waking/sleeping the same time everyday, limiting caffeine, not doing activities that occupy your mind before bedtime etc. Can you put a fan in your room? For the stress, imagine you put all your worries in a locked box and you put it high on a shelf -this symbolizes you're not going to worry for the night. If you can't sleep try not to worry about it.

Do you have a Nintendo DS - I have the game called Brain Age2 and there's this game called 'virus busters' on it. It's meant to be relaxing and it really is - I play it when I lay in bed and often I nod off with it on my chest lol - it has this soothing lullabye music. You can also try reading or writing in a journal before you sleep. Learn how to do slow deep breathing and concentrate on relaxing one at a time each part of your body - you can tense the muscle, then relax it. Hope this helps.

Thanks lynn.P this is very helpful, though I do not drink caffeine so I dont think thats the problem. But I took your advise and actually fell asleep at 2:30AM Woo :P Thanks Lynn
