Don't think you're not gonna fall asleep, cause if you think you're not gonna fall asleep, you're not gonna fall asleep.

aha..don't think to much...just go to sleep.

I listen to Goa Trance and try to blank my mind and concentrate on the beat. It makes me woozy fast enough. Or just try a sleeping tablet if your having a real hard time.

This whole sleeping thing is one of my major problems too. Sometimes my day and night sleeping routines switch for long periods of time.

Like I said...don't think you're not gonna fall asleep. That's the key.

Howmany times your mind starts having a ball when you wanna sleep?? ALL the time??? So just don't give in.

Guess you guys don't take me serious. But I had my own sleeping problems and this is really helpfull. If you catch yourself thinking...then you know...you are gonna have a hard time to fall asleep. So if that occurs...try not to think. Forget that stuff you were thinking about, don't give it time or energy to grow in your mind...

Don't think you're not gonna fall asleep...just go to sleep

Your right, i have the same problem, i think to much when i try to go to sleep, and i'll end up laying in my bed for 3 hour before i fall to sleep, but it's hard for my not to think, the only well know way for me to do that is to get drunk before i go to sleep.

..Try telling yourself...DON'T THINK.

Really just tell your self...so you can hear your own voice...

Easyer said then done

Luckly i'm unemploid right now, but when i used to work it was a real problem for me... on avarage i would get 3-4 hours of sleep on work days, in the weekend i would sleep for 12 hours straight.

And sleeping for 12 hours straight just made it harder to fall a sleep on sundays, so i kinda got into a very bad cirkel getting less and less sleep during the week.
