What will help you relax your mind? After your warm bath you can listen to quiet music or sounds. Ocean sounds and gentle winds blowing may ease you into slumber. Listening to this music will also help to drown out any other noises that may get your attention. Noises such as house settling, cars going by, or even neighbor’ dog can keep you awake and alert. You need to focus your mind away from anything that is keeping your mind active, so you can ease off into slumber.

If you are waking up in middle of night, you may be hearing something that suddenly wakes you up. It could be anything from a neighbor on their way to work or just loud trucks that drive by around same time each night. If you are listening to quiet and peaceful sounds like were mentioned above these outside noises will not hamper your sleep.

For some people eating a large meal late in evening can cause them to have a hard time falling asleep. So, do not eat a heavy meal full of fatty foods after 6pm. This may cure your insomnia if you usually enjoy your evening meal at a later time.

Exercise before going to bed can also help with those that suffer from insomnia. Mild exercise such as a walk around neighborhood or yoga is most recommended. You just want to be sleepy yet not exhausted.

Listening to quiet music or sounds that are relaxing can also help to put your mind and body into a relaxing state.
