To get a proper sleep ,some mental exercises are good for example just imagine(visualize) that you are sleeping calmly under the shade of a tree in a lonely place so that there is no one to disturb you,and you will sleep automatically!
Everybody has some very good ideas, I can only think of a natural one. If you have the time, a high impact work out right before bed, weight or areobics, either one, maybe even a good swim, will help reduce alot of the stress and help induce a more restful sleep. I did it and it worked wonders for me. If your tired enough your body will eventually go to sleep. Give it a try.

I have always heard that one should not exercise before bed; because it will increase metabolism for a while. However, I have used a mini-trampoline (rebounder) before bed to get my lymph system moving so it can help clear my sinuses. You must be right Trevor; because I do not have any sleep problems after I do that exercise close to bedtime.
Well I didnt mean go straight to bed after running, LoL workout about an hour before you normaly hit the hay. Then after working out, take a nice long hot shower, then go to bed, I can guarantee you you'll have a nice restful sleep and ake up less during the night.
Are you all aware that many people have trouble going to sleep or staying asleep
on nights when there is a Full Moon. Also a New Moon though less so.
My daughter says that her baby daughter, 17 months old is reacting to the Full
Moon sleeplessness.

I have to say that I am one of those people too. It's really weird because I don't see any reason why I am restless and have difficulty sleeping when there is a Full Moon, but I do have that problem. Music helps me sleep because it keeps me calm, but not during Full Moon. Anybody can give me an explanation on this?
And it's not because the light from the moon gets into my room and keeps me awake.
There's a sleep study done by Austrian scientists that is used to say that the moon doesn't affect people. In the study, during a full moon 8% of people in the study said they were effected, 25% said they slept fine.
But I say if you're a sensitive person, like I am, and who would be one of the eight, then the moon does affect us, right?
Often scientists (except maybe Theoretical Physicists) are uncomfortable with people who aren't mainstream and they use numbers to make us go away.
I was going to respond to someone's post after mine about how not being able to sleep during a full moon is because of the light from the moon keeping you awake but they must have deleted their post.
I black out my room with blinds and curtains so as to have the darkest room possible to sleep in so that couldn't be the reason.
In response to the sleep study where 8% were affected by the full moon, someone had this response which I thought was interesting:
Quote:
I work in the maritime industry, which leads to random patterns of the full moon, based on where in the world I am. Also it means that i don�t generally have access to see if there is going to be a full moon wherever I am.
For years I�ve had issues sleeping the night before, during and the night after the full moon. So obviously I am one of the 8% that have issues. I�ve even tried a bad combination of sleep aid, pain killer and muscle relaxer to try and get over it but it still had problems.
All other times I sleep great 8 hours a night.
I�ve read that it is the light, but on a ship it is very easy to make it so dark you cannot see to even get to the bathroom.
I also read that the influence of the moon on a person is like a mosquito landing on your arm. But ironically I feel that pretty clearly when it happens.
I�ve considered trying to get some official help, but not quite sure how to do it. Do I go on a normal night, then on a full moon? Or do I just go on a full moon?
I usually have sleeping problems after tough day at my work or university. At these days I usually cannot get rid of all million thoughts and things that are running through my head. What you can try to do to calm down and relax, is just simply try to think about beautiful places and nature, and imagine, that you are somewhere on the island, where nobody is there - just you, nature, the see and the beach... everything is calm and quite. I know, that it may be hard for the first time, but after a while it will become much easier. It works for me now, and it helps me to calm down and get to sleep.
The other option you can try is to ask your partner to do a relaxation massage for you. You do not have to be a professional to make a person feel relaxed. There sre many inner points on our back, which can help us in relaxation, while stimulating this points. If you do not have opportunity to ask for help, you can use a specially designed acupressure mats, which will do the job for you and will improve your sleep and wellness in general.
