text: i can never fall asleep,are there ways to put me to sleep without medicine?   i asked a similar question and here was the answer i found most helpful. i give the credit to nightevisions. hope it helps you too.  it helps to have a relaxing routine before bed. do something calming. whatever that might be for you... a warm bath, a hot cup of tea, reading a book...   if you lie there awake when you go to bed, occupy your mind in a non distressing way. recite a childhood fairytale such as the 3 bears... and when your mind starts to wander to everyday worries, pull it firmly back to the story... you'll fall asleep before you get past the porridge!
