How to Fall Asleep Faster: I hate it when I am lying in the bed, trying to sleep. It used to take me too much time to get to sleep. I searched internet for few tricks to fall asleep faster. The next time you are lying awake in bed Unable to sleep, you can trick yourself to sleep by trying these natural tips:
Try to stay awake: Challenge yourself to stay awake – your mind will rebel! It's called the sleep paradox.
Keep your eyes wide open, repeat to yourself 'I will not sleep'. The brain doesn't process negatives well, so interprets this as an instruction to sleep and eye muscles tire quickly as sleep creeps up.
Rewind your day: Remembering the mundane detail in reverse order clears your mind of worries. Recall conversations, sights and sounds as you go. It helps you to reach a mental state that's ready for sleep.
Roll your eyes: Close your eyes and roll the balls up 3-5 times can do the job. It simulates what you do naturally when you fall asleep and may help trigger the release of your sleepy hormone, melatonin.
