Get a breeze going. Have a cold water bottle in bed, and keep your feet uncovered, if you have bed linen on your body. Otherwise, a cold shower with or without a partner, to help you cool down - if its heat thats stopping you. Or do some relaxation exercises - can teach you some yoga. |

"the 1st  "
Cut out caffeine and chocolate before bedtime. Make sure you get your hydration though. If your digestive system is okay with it, try a banana an hour before bedtime (an actual banana).
Try sex earlier in the evening if you can, then settle down with a book for an hour or two. Whatever relaxes you and tires your mind.
Most importantly, switching off is quite a trick, but it simply involves realising that quality sleep is a luxury that you must afford to be selfish with, all the while knowing that tomorrow can sort its own shit out if it has to.
Just do what it takes to make yourself as comfortable and content as possible. |

I dont watch TV but I make a point to recognise that anything electrical will still be there the next morning. Besides, the internet forgets nothing  |
