Needing a good nights sleep

I have a lot on my mind lately. I am looking for new work, having problems with a guy I'm dating, my mother is driving me nuts...the list can go on. I have not been able to sleep well in days and can feel that lack of sleep affecting my day-to-day performance. Are there any natural ways to help me clear my mind and fall asleep?

Sometimes, when life is like that for me, I do a lot of heavy physical work and that way by the time I hit the pillows, I am too exhausted to think.

Some people use Valerian, chamomile, hops, and/or catnip teas.  You can probably find a good mixture such as Sleepy Time Tea at your local health food store or market. 

Good luck.  Also, try deep breathing and concentrating on your breath coming in and out, going up and down your spine...my Mother occasionally just sings "Row Row Row Your boat..." over in her head until she falls asleep.

Another technique is to imagine a blackboard and you drawing a circle.  In the circle write 100, and then imagine erasing it.  If you have not erased the line (in your imagination) in any way, you go to 99 and do the same until you hit #1.  If you erase any part of the line you have to do the number over.  I used to fall asleep by around #93 when I used this one.

Good luck! I know lack of sleep can be enerving!

meditation is a great way of finding inner peace.  lay on your back & try to erase everything from your mind.  i usually concentrate on  black dot.  it's always there for me.  my background color seems to be always red.

if my mind starts wandering i go back to this dot & eventually doze off. 

another good way to doze off is put your tv on low & find something boring to listen to.  doesn't take long to nod off.  reading helps also.
