# Cut out alcohol, caffeine and fags
Stop playing computer games before bed, or watching tv. Read a book instead. You'll be so bored you'll sleep like a log.
Edit - and give your room a good airing, get rid of all the dust and stuff. Hang your duvet and pillows outside for a while. Getting rid of dustmites works wonders for sleep.
sorry - do I sound like your mother? Please say no..

# Yep, word for word! Have taken me Mam's advice and dusted the room
and change bed linene every few days anyway. Sorry to sounds like a whiny git, but I am so totally fucked off with it. Sometimes I get so tired I hallucinate

# Not sleeping is horrible
You could try asking your doctor. If you snore that doesn't help. Some people use those nose thingies that swimmers wear - gets more oxygen to you while you sleep so you sleep better. Never tried them though. My sleeping problems are all caused by having small children..

# it sounds odd
but someone told me this and it worked for me.. when you go to bed lie in it in the OPPOSITE direction you normally do. makes it seem like a different bed due to the way you lie when you sleep and the mattress etc taking body shape.

i also now only ever sleep on a matress on the floor which seems to help me a lot
