I work very odd hours and thus my sleep times vary greatly.

Sometimes when I try to sleep I notice that my face/body is very tense, such as frowned eyebrows etc.

I just concentrate and try to relax my entire body..starting with my face. It's easier said than done for me

But if I have allot on my mind I have to try visually imagine a ball or any other shape spinning, this with the relaxation usually does it for me

I start with my hands and feet and finish with my face when it comes to relaxation. Works nearly every time. I keep some classic lit near the bed for those very odd times when I can't quite get there.

Mind your daytime habits too. Caffeine will keep you awake, right? I don't drink coffee or other caffenated stuff after lunch unless I'm gonna flop to sleep right then.

finally, excercise in the morning if you can. I'm writing this at about 4:45 a.m. just before I go to the gym. Make the body tired that way when it's bed time, you will drop like a rock and sleep for a solid 8.

I'm not a health professional but I like to take a tylenol pm and a shot of nyquil. It's like instant time travel to 12 hours later. But i wouldn't do this often mixing tylenol and nyquil isn't that good of an idea.

There's a technique I always use that never fails. All you need to do is think about it and you'll fall asl

The TV always does the trick for me.
