There you are. It’s 3 a.m. and you’re still wide awake, staring at the ceiling, your phone, or the wall. You simply can’t fall asleep. If you’re having a hard time falling asleep, perhaps this blog post will help you find a solution that can work for you. Of course, some sleep problems are indicative of other medical conditions, so it’s always important to consult a physician.

If sleep escapes you, here are some tips on how to fall asleep:

(1) Listen to meditation music when you go to bed. My recommendation is Zen Radio.

(2) Refrain from drinking caffeine after 12 p.m. If you do need to have a drink, consider a nice glass of milk.

(3) Read a calming book. And, if possible, simply listen to an audiobook.

(4) Take an over-the-counter sleeping aid. Some people take Benadryl.

(5) Ask your partner to massage your feet. Good luck getting them to say yes 🙂

(6) Turn on a noise-canceling device. Check out some ideas at ActiveNoise.

(7) Put your phone on silent mode.

(8) Ensure you have a clean set of sheets and a made bed to crawl into. My favorite set came from Boll and Branch. They’re a little pricey, though.

(9) Have a pillow that works with you, not against you. Love him or hate him, My Pillow really does make the best pillow around.
