If you regularly experience problems with falling asleep, it may be time to cut down on your caffeine intake.  Caffeine can last in your system up to five hours after it was consumed, so it's usually best to have your last cup coffee around lunch time. Switch to non-caffeinated herbal teas for the rest of the evening, and try a special "sleepy-time" blend, with ingredients like chamomile or valerian, before bed. There are several kinds of supplements available in drug and health food stores which can help boost the level sleep-producing hormones in your system.  Melatonin is a hormone which regulates sleep. It can be purchased inexpensively in supplement form -- usually a low dosage taken before bedtime will do the trick. If you find yourself still waking up, try an extended-release option. Chlor Trimeton, a type of antihistamine, is another supplement that causes drowsiness and can help with sleeping problems. Valerian root is one of the oldest known treatments for insomnia, but nowadays you can take it in supplement form rather than drinking a tea made from boiling the root itself. It is believed to improve the quality of sleep in addition to reducing the time it takes to nod off. A good strenuous workout 3 to 4 times a week can help you to fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow, while also significantly improving the quality of your sleep.  Try aerobic exercise like running, swimming or cycling to tire your body out, in addition to a multitude of other health benefits. Try to exercise early in the day, if possible, as exercising in the three hours before bedtime can leave you too pumped to sleep. Setting up a well-defined sleep schedule can really help to regulate your sleeping patterns. Try to wake up and go to bed at the same time everyday, at least on weekdays.  Over time, this will allow your internal body clock to naturally recognize when it's time to go to sleep, helping you to fall asleep faster. Don't worry if you sleep in a little on the weekends, as this can actually be good for your body and help it to heal and restore itself after the stresses of the week. If none of the above suggestions seem to be working and you fear you may be suffering from insomnia or sleep apnea, it might be time to make an appointment with a doctor or therapist. They can then assess your sleeping patterns and decide the best course of action, which can be anything from simply keeping a sleep journal to taking prescription sleep medication.
