Some of them are mainstream and others were new to me. Some of the patients I work with at the specific chiropractic center suffer from insomnia and we suggest to get their nervous systems working at an optimal rate and lifestyle changes...I am going to add meditation and not working late to the list.

It takes a good deal of practice to quiet the mind. In fact, there is no EFFORT that can bring inner silence. It's about relaxing and detaching from the constant thought machine that runs on in our heads. I've heard so many people say, "I've tried meditation but I just can't do it." They are the people who need it the most. Our society teaches us to have a running commentary and it's only when we try to allow silence that we discover just how noisy it is inside.

But after reading your list above I was able to suggest a number of improvements he could make to help hiom sleep better. And in particular he has adopted the breathing exercises and cut down on caffeine which he was drinking way to much of since losing his job.

Thank you for sharing 'coz I learned a lot. Next time, I won't drink hot milk or hot chocolate before bedtime. It's just a myth. Drinking a glass of milk at night will help you sleep well. Maybe, it's a glass of cold milk. Hmm, I think I'll try that tonight. I wouldn't know how to stop worrying--yet. Before I read this blog, I tried covering my eyes with a dark cloth to help induce sleep. It helps sometimes when I'm not too tired. :) I’m a bit of an insomniac so I went through your list with a fine comb. Thank you for sharing ‘coz I learned a lot.

Has anyone heard that certain foods are ok to eat before going to bed, like broccoli? I find it difficult to sleep if I'm very hungry, but I don't want to be full either. I also avoid caffeine and stimulants. I try to make it a habit to go to bed at 10:00 AM before that second wind hits around 10:30.
