The inundation of technology and
busy work schedules has more and more people finding it difficult to “turn it
off” when they lie their heads down at night.
If you find yourself being a bit of an
insomniac, try some of these strange, but effective, ways to catch some sleep.
Give Yourself Some Tingles
The term actually describes a sensation of tingles along the back of the head and down the body, sometimes jokingly referred to as a “brain orgasm,” that is triggered by outside stimuli such as whispering, tapping sounds, or crinkling paper..

Rub Your BellyThis might sound like something you’d do to please your dog, but rubbing your own belly has been shown to help your body relax. When you lay down for bed tonight, rub your hand in a slow, circular motion as you rest your eyes. Supposedly, the feeling will soothe you enough to allow you to fall asleep.
Get In Touch With Your Inner Pavlov
Pick a habit, such as rubbing the
tip of your nose, pulling an earlobe or squeezing your upper arm and do it each
night before you fall asleep. Eventually, your body will accept this motion as
a signal that it’s time for it to rest.
Replace The Glass of Milk With
Cherry JuiceIf you’ve been downing a glass of warm milk every night hoping it might make you more sleepy, try trading it in for a glass of cherry juice. Tart cherries are a natural source of melatonin, which helps to regulate your body’s sleep schedule
Exercise Your Toes
This one might make you feel a little goofy, but it actually works. While lying in bed, slowly squeeze and release your toes for at a minute or two. Curling your toes actually has the effect of helping all of the muscles in your body to relax, and will release any tension in your body built up throughout the day.

Bring Back a Childhood Remedy
You probably remember your mom or dad rubbing some Vicks across your chest when you had a cold as a kid. But did you know Vicks Vaporub actually has quite a few uses, one of which is helping you to fall asleep. That’s because the decongestants in Vicks helps you breathe more steadily, lulling your body into a sense of relaxation.

Roll Your Eyes Into Your Head
If all else fails you can try to make your body think that it’s already asleep. Lie back and close yours eyes, then slowly roll them backwards in your head. This mimics the actual position and movement of your eyes while you sleep, so it has been found to be effective in many situations involving insomnia.
