I especially like #3 that talks about creating a sleep-conducive environment. These days difficulty falling asleep seems to be an everyday occurrence. It's just that some days are even worse than others. Here are a few things that help me.. First thing I do is walk by myself. It doesn't have to be an hour walk. Sometimes I'll go out for only fifteen minutes. I get to think things over without any outside distractions and decide what issues (personal or business), to clear up or resolve first. Just being outside in the fresh air is also very relaxing! The second thing I do is use an aromatherapy eye pillow. I find it to be extremely relaxing and a terrific way to clear my thoughts and get me in a better frame of mind. The eye pillow blocks out any light and allows me to just unwind. It's especially great after a tough ride home in traffic. The weight of the flax-seed inside the aromatherapy eye pillow feels like acupressure on my temples and eyes. It's perfect for headaches as well. You can find them in a lot of specialty stores and also online. I know that lavender is very soothing and calming but I use peppermint. It just opens up my sinuses and helps me breathe so much better. That fact alone makes it easier for me to fall asleep. The one I use I found online at A Touch Of Satin. Their website is http://www.atouchofsatin.com if you're interested. They had a page on their site that talked about the benefits of the different scents. You might want to read what they say about them. Try flipping your pillow over to the cooler side and when you start to think about things on your mind....Just SMILE! Smiling always seems to make things less stressful. I hope my suggestions help! Let know what you think. You have some really good tips here.

When people don't sleep it is usually about something other than sleep itself as you are pointing out. I am looking forward to your next tips. I really like your emphasis on managing the environment.
