What is the best way to fall asleep?

I’ve tried counting backwards, and that just makes me more alert! Any suggestions?

Answer #1

Most people are under the wrong impression that you need to fall asleep early. In actuality, it’s more about the quality of sleep than the quantity. But it depends on everyone’s diff body chemistries also. What works for several, may not work for one.

I read a medical study that said that it is not necessary to get 6-9 hours or so of sleep. And that if you cannot fall asleep by, let’s say 8-11pm… then rather than lie in bed trying to relax, which in my opinion actually causes more insomnia thru out the night… stay active or stay up doing whatever you were doing, such as tiring your mind out in front of the comp until a late hour like 12am midnight. Then go to bed. By then, your brain and body will be so exausted, it will fall asleep more quickly… and better yet, more deeply.

Also, certain strenuous exercises/mild body activities and/or showers/baths may help too. Taking GABA from GNC.com helps before bed w/out leaving you groggy next day. And drinking something warm also helps. Alcohol may or may not help; I would not advise it tho.
