Here are more tips to overcome difficulty sleeping. Establish a regular routine in the evenings, your brain works by matching patterns. Avoid doing anything stimulating late in the evening. Listen to a ‘guided’ meditation/relaxation tape/CD. Listen to relaxing music. Do not stay in bed any longer than about 20 minutes if you cannot sleep; your brain will establish the pattern: bed is for laying awake! Get up and read a boring book preferably standing or do the very chores that you have been putting off because they are so unpleasant. Having your feet higher than you head facilitates relaxation. Take regular exercise -vigorous by day, slow and rhythmic in the evening. Take the time to sleep, don’t just fit it in.
