Having trouble falling asleep? You are not alone. Lots of people have trouble like this. Here are some things to try. First of all make sure you turn off the TV and computer 1-2 hours before you go to sleep.
Take a hot shower or bath before bedtime and have a cup of warm milk with a little honey in it and some graham crackers.
Think about your favorite place to go on vacation. Try to remember all the details about it - when you left, when you arrived, and all the things you did when you were there. Try to remember it with all your senses; the smells, the sounds, the sights, the feelings, even the taste of the food you enjoyed while you were there.
Design a room or a garden where you can feel completely safe and happy. Imagine it has everything you need for comfort; mine has a picture window looking out at the beach, a fireplace with a cup of cocoa, a big warm blanket, and a stack of my favorite books.
Focus on the rise and the fall of the breath in your body and say to yourself over and over again "I am aware of my breathing, I am aware of my breathing, I am aware of my breathing." Notice your breath as it goes in and out of your nose or mouth, or notice the rise and fall of your chest as you breathe.
Sweet dreams!
