But if these relaxation techniques or the exercising does not help you, then you will have to see a physician as soon as possible because you have to get some medical help to solve the problem. Never use sleeping pills or alcohol to help you get in to sleep.

Good luck. I'm sure you will soon be sleeping like a baby.

start taking magnesium tablets.

Magnesium, in doses of approximately 250 milligrams, can help induce sleep. Magnesium deficiency is responsible for nervousness that prevents sleep. Magnesium-rich foods include kelp, wheat bran, almonds, cashews, blackstrap molasses, and brewer's yeast.

I have sleep problems too. Here are some suggestions people have given me:

Exercise during the day

Don't nap-if you do make sure its less the 30 min at least 8 hours before bedtime

Use your bed only for sleep and sex-your brain will know that being in bed means to relax

Read in another room until you feel sleepy, then go back into your bedroom

Pick a time and make that your bedtime every night, wake up at the same time every morning

Relax for about two hours before bed (watch TV, read, do something that relaxes you)

Hope it helps and good luck!

Sleep tips and advice:

1. Relax your mind

Simple breathing exercises can help. Breathe, using your abdomen not your chest, through your nose for three seconds, then breathe out for three seconds. Pause for three seconds before breathing in again. Practise this for ten minutes at night (five minutes is better than nothing).
