Say to yourself,
"This is the most comfortable place on earth...right here."

Take note of how your entire body is feeling...from toes up to the top of your head...you'll fall asleep.

Hold your breath for a while...then when you take a deep breathe...you will start yawning.

Think of the different animals sleeping in the woods...that helps too.

People often can't fall asleep because of the tempation to think about things. Thinking often keeps people awake.

Here's something I found works wonders: close your eyes and focus on what you see within the dark canapy of darkness when your eyes are shut. You will often see swirly colors, shapes, and different pictures that instantly flash here and there. This is subcouscious thought patterns often reflecting on what you saw in the day. Everyone sees them it's just simply a matter of focusing on them. When you see a picture or shape simply just give your self a mental note of what you saw and then notice the next thing. When you do this pictures or shapes will often come right after another in a long succesion until you quickly fall asleep. Doing this allows yourself to keep your mind occupied on a relaxing thing without being temped to think about things that keep you awake.

Lay down, try to put your foot in your mouth. If you've gotten the toe you have accomplished enough. Then move your arms in a circling motion. Forward then back. Once you've done that, picture a clown riding a bike while eating apple pie and close your eyes tightly and repeat these words to yourself. The genie in the bottle likes it when I sleep, the genie in the bottle likes it when I sleep. By this time you will be sound asleep. Oh and dont forget to set your alarm clock!

You are trying too hard to fall asleep. Watch TV or read a book source.

Answer 4

Just think about closing your eyes when you sleep, don't even think about trying to fall asleep. Infact, don't think about anything. If you don't believe me, try it now on the couch or a bed.

Answer 5

Well, if you've ever taken a sex ed class/course, you'd know that during post-masturbation, endorphins are released into your blood stream making you drowsy. Works every time!
