stop with all the bad **** and stay on the healthy routine -- (my 2 cents)
now for the internet's 2 cents:
copied and pasted:
To get yourself back into a healthy sleeping pattern, try these tips:
1. Give It Up: Inhabit a Caffeine-Free Life: This means no coffee, diet soda or chocolate. If caffeine is a must, stop drinking it after 2 p.m. While on the road to Wellsville, 86 the night-cap, too. Alcohol might make you feel sleepy, but it increases the number of times you wake up.
2. No Quick Winks: As tired as you might be, taking naps before bedtime only adds to your restlessness.
3. Pump Up: Exercising for 45 minutes at 6 or 7p.m. builds up body heat which helps induce slumber. Careful not to work out for too long or too late. Too much can over-stimulate your nervous system and keep you awake.
4. Go Soak: Experts agree, sending blood away from your brain and skin surfaces aids in drowsiness. Hot baths filled with sleep-inducing scents like lavender and peppermint help you de-stress, ease tense muscles and raise your body temp. By the time you hit your sheets, your temperature will have dropped (and you'll smell great!).
5. Got Milk? Mom Was Right: Tryptophan, the natural tranquilizer released when milk is warmed, is a sleep-inducer. A light snack, like crackers or peanut butter, increases serotonin to your brain to produce deep sleep, too. This is not a green light for bingeing. Eating too much sends your digestive system into over-drive rather than slowing it down. Lactose Intolerant? Brew some chamomile tea.
6. Sleep Aids: Many doctors suggest taking a sleep aid to get you back on track. Over-the-counter helpers like Tylenol PM can do the trick. For the naturalist, try Melatonin, an herbal sleep aid. For those who need something stronger, new sleep-drugs like Ambian and Sonata let you fall asleep in the p.m. and work their way out of your system by the early a.m. Taking them two or three times a week can get you back into a natural slumber pattern.
7. Rhythm and Routine: Stop the late-Sunday-night, "I can't get up Monday morning" syndrome by adopting a regular sleep schedule. This means going to bed and waking up at the same time - even on weekends. Since many people get a second wind after midnight, try hitting the sheets by 11:00pm.
8. The Big Set-up: Create the proper sleep environment by keeping your bedroom dark, quiet and temperature friendly. "During sleep, your body cools off and converts energy," explains Dr. Zammit. "Keeping your bedroom slightly cool, about 68 degrees, makes you sleep better." Investing in a white noise machine or fan helps reduce outside clamor. Lastly, face all clocks away from view.
9. Evening Extras: Try relaxation techniques and books on tape to lull you into dreamland. Small pillows filled with lavender, peppermint, or chamomile calm your body and mind. Deep breathing exercises help slow down an anxious, stressed-out system.
10. For Sleeping Only: Your bedroom should only be used for sleeping and love making. Work and TV watching should be done in another area. If you can't sleep after 20-30 minutes, get up and do something quietly - like read - until you feel sleepy again.
11. Lights, Please: Sunlight is a powerful regulator of your biological clock. If you find yourself waking earlier than you'd like, try increasing your exposure to bright light for one to two hours a day. An evening walk or using a lightbox at night, will help you sleep longer into the morning.
12: Psyche Yourself Up: Try staying up later. If you go to bed at 11:00 p.m, then push yourself awake till midnight (Avoid this if you get a burst of midnight energy - see #7 - when you stay up late!).
Still Sleepless in Seattle? Consult your doctor. For more serious conditions like sleep apnea and chronic insomnia a trip to a sleep lab might be in order. Computers, wires and electrodes are attached to your body in order to locate your problem areas while a technician monitors your sleep patterns and behavior.
Good luck and sweet dreams!

millions of Americans have problems getting sleep.
most of it is due to bad sleeping habits.
