    Hello.

    Ever tried practicing good sleep hygiene? Works for some people.

    What are you doing to chill out or unwind before bed?

    That's less like sleep, more like passing out just FYI. Have you tried reading something not too intellectually stimulating under soft light? Is it just getting asleep that's the problem?

    Well then, set your alarm for ten minutes time. And when it goes off, hit the snooze button. You'll fall asleep in no time.

    I always doze off when I hit the snooze button. It's magic.

    Using any sort of mobile devices when you're in bed is usually bad, I've noticed myself it tends to wake me up. Turn off your laptop/tablet/phone

    just close your eyes and count to 1000. stay on course for the thousand and slowly, you wont make it.

    I'd say that would have the opposite effect, as listening to him fills me with rage sometimes, especially during liverpool matches

    Well, if you're already in bed and have a laptop or tablet, then there's your problem. The whitescreen stimulates your brain making it harder for it to shut down.

    Put the damm nthing awy and read a book.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Wake up at the same time everyday.
    Have a 'lights out / Tv off' bedtime (at the same time each night).
    Don't do drugs (meth / caffeine / etc...).

    A few months and you won't even need an alarm clock - except possibly when you're sick.

    Don't use tablet, smartphone, laptop, tv for an hour before you go to bed.

    Hot bath or shower, read a bit, just wind down.
