hold on! people are recommending Marijuana on here?? REALLY?
drugs are a bad idea because you develop tolerance and then you will need MORE drugs.

let's start from the beginning.

are you exercising near bed time?
drinking caffeinated beverages in the afternoon/ evening?
eating a big meal late?
do you have an evening routine that is conducive to rest?

like: take a hot bath, read a non-thrilling book.
no tv in the bedroom. no light in the bedroom (after you turn it off, I mean)

do you have pets bugging you? no pets in the room.
are noises keeping you awake? get a white noise generator (a fan works great, doesn't need to be on high or near you, just somewhere in the room)


and yes, we want to know your age.

Try these suggestions. I've always been a light sleeper, and the older i get the worse it gets, so these are things I have found that help.
