There's nothing more frustrating than a sleepless night.
I've been through plenty of them in my life and I can tell you that it's no fun.
Not only is it stressful seeing the night pass you by, but the thought of the following day being ruined by the fact that you're exhausted makes it even worse.
How will you possibly function on no sleep once the new day starts? If you'll be able to, it certainly won't be easy.
Thankfully, there are a few things you can try out that may solve your problem.
Try these things out, as none of them will cost you much money, if any at all.
It's one of the oldest home remedies out there, but it actually works.
The lactic acid in warm milk stimulates certain mechanisms within the body that cause the body to be tired.
Give it a shot and you may be surprised by its effectiveness.
Another thing you can try doing is avoiding the thought of your sleeplessness.
They say that one of the greatest causes of insomnia is simply the fear and stress relating to not falling asleep.
The less it's on your mind, the more easily you'll be able to sleep.
This also applies to anything else you may be thinking of that requires heavy thought.
One more thing that I like to do when I can't sleep is to pick up a book and begin reading.
The more boring the book, the better.
I typically like to go with non-fiction books for this very reason, and another one too.
By reading a book like this, I figure that I'll at least be making productive use of my time by learning if I don't end up falling asleep.
As it turns out, this usually does the trick for me anyway, as my eyes grow heavy as I read.
