Maybe just read lots wether it be a book or on here until u feel your eyes going, then jump bak into bed! i always have trouble sleeping, never slept a wink lastnite! i usually just lie there and keep looking at the time! xXx

I can't sleep either. My friend told me to lay there and picture the most relaxing place I have ever been and just keep picturing myself there and not let my mind wander.

Ive just read If you can't get to sleep for over 30 minutes, get out of bed and do something boring in dim light till you are sleepy. When u do go to bed, Lie still, consciously slow your breathing, systematically relax your muscles from head to toe, and visualize yourself falling deeper and deeper into sleep. Hope ur sleepy soon lozzy x
