is it a matter of too many thoughts or just not tired? if it's too many thoughts i tend to sort of meditate on my favorite color and not let anything else interrupt very difficult but does work. if it's not being tired exercise play basketball or something that gets your heart going. another thing that i have done is put yourself on a set schedule got to bed at 10 wake up at 7. even if you can't fall asleep still force yourself to get up at 7. if you force yourself you body should fall into the habit. not much but hope it helps.
i can not fall asleep. i have bipolar disorder and high functioning autism which probably doesnt help. help! <negative_smiley>. i have a very comfortable bed. but i can never seem to fall asleep. when i finally do fall asleep i tend to sleep for long periods of time. example: 8-12 hours.
