Hi ilikepolkadots

I don't have any medical issues relating to sleep but sometimes I experience insomnia. Two things have helped me.

The first is what is called sleep hygiene - essentially what that means is developing good habits in preparation for sleep. There is one of many descriptions of it here: http://healthysleep.med.harvard.edu/...vercoming/tips .

The other is what is sometimes called Progressive Muscle Relaxation - this means tensing and then relaxing each of the muscle groups in my body.

I do it lying in bed, starting with my toe muscles and moving up to my facial muscles though the order does not matter.

There is an account of it here: http://www.painmanagement.org.au/201...elaxation.html .
