Sounds a bit like counting sheep.. ;D

yeah but it works. i cant stop thinking and thats what keeps me awake. and i believe the practice has helped me to control my thoughts at other times like for meditation or paying attention at work. i had ADD so i need all the control i can get.

Magnesium sometimes helps with restless leg and it helps with relaxing. Magnesium Chloride would be the best kind to take, but it's hard to find...

oh yes magnesium I used powdered stuff by a guy if you want the name of his stuff let me know, it's very very good stuff, but be careful because you take too much you have loose stools but it's good for RLS, if you want to know more PM me.

maguism calcuim, visualzing brown in crown chakra but dont' do it often spiritfirst suggested this, shaman illumation on it, chamomile tea, yoga look up yoga for sleep on youtube and anmol mehta

I haven't read through all the replies so I'm not sure if this has been suggested but have you tried hypnotherapy? I would recommend a few hypnotherapy sessions; the practitioner would target subconscious beliefs that you cannot sleep well. Then if you getting a few books on self hypnosis would be very beneficial. Hypnotherapy works by deeply relaxing your mind and body so if you were able to practice it on yourself before bed I'm sure you would sleep well.

Thanks to all the helpful suggestion I finally got a good night's sleep last evening. Of course my dreams were on the freaky side of weird, but that's a discussion for another time.

Scibat, great to hear you got a good night's sleep last night ! as for the dreams, one cannot have everything at once, lol

just in case you have this " not sleeping problem "again, try counting sheep, just don't ask for the tap dancing ones.. or for sure you won't get any sleep, you will want to get up and dance with them !
