    How do you put yourself to sleep? Some nights, it takes me an hour or two before I can actually get some shut-eye.

    Re: Putting yourself to sleep

    Exercise and work hard throughout the day. You will feel tired and want to go to sleep. Have a shower as well, it helps me to go to sleep.

    Re: Putting yourself to sleep

    Have a warm drink before going to bed. Exercise throughout the day like Tragic Typo suggested by all means, but don't exercise just before bed, as it might make falling asleep difficult.

    If you're a chronic insomniac, see your doctor.

    Re: Putting yourself to sleep

    I find reading makes me sleepy -

    What is Islam's stance on sleeping pills ? Personally I don't agree with them but I know a lot of older people find it hard to sleep and so they use them.

    Re: Putting yourself to sleep

    simple way to regulate yourself is to stay up for 24 hrs straight then go to bed at a time you'll stick to every night and wake up at a time you'll get up at every day.. It is called sleep hygiene.. try it..

    I have this problem. It takes me hours to fall asleep my mind won't shutdown. My mom always tells me to read Quran because the shaitan will try to make you fall asleep or read one of your text books and boredom will make you fall asleep.

    Re: Putting yourself to sleep

    Asalam

    Don't know if it's effective but many people claim that drinking a glass of warm milk before bed. I never tried, dont like milk though.

    When I was 18 I could sleep 24hours straight & even more, until I reached age of around 22?

    Now it's a bit difficult for me to sleep, because in some days I imagine alot alot of imaginations & thinking just anything
    then I discovered that nice Islamic videos like "Prophet Muhammad, it has 12parts in youtube" can make me sleep in no time delay I can watch in almost everyday just scrambling which part i'll watch the night.

    But the problem is that when you move alot when you're asleep, laptop is not advisable to keep beside so, yah reading is also good. and try to calm your mind.

    There is too much going on in your mind and you're probably trying to sleep straight after working. During the day work on solving your problems, beat procrastination and be proactive in getting the things you want done and don't delay the important matters; this will unload things off of your mind of a lot of things that are probably small and unimportant. And at night unwind before you go sleep, clear your mind of the buzz and whatever pressures of work or studies that are bothering you, go on your PS3 or something and have a much needed down time. Exercise and eat healthy, it's is one of the best ways to have a deep and restful sleep.

    Spend the night just for rest and relaxation, especially an hour or so before you go bed.

    Games serve as a good down time. Of course the best form of entertainment is to go out there and play, the exercise and fresh air does wonders.

    Depend on the kind of this sleeping pill. Sleeping pill that work like narcotic which it manipulate brain is classified/considered as "Khamr" (intoxicant). This is haram (forbidden).

    However, Scholars (at least in my place) allow Muslim to use drug that classified as intoxicant in emergency situation, which the doctor determine the patient really need this drug, and the patient use it follow the doctor instruction . But if not in emergency situation and not under decision/instruction from doctor, it's not allowed.

    Not every drug that help someone to get sleep is classified/considered as intoxicant. But from a reference that issued by a Muslim doctor, I saw many of sleeping pills are classified/considered as intoxicant that should not be given to the patient except in emergency situation.
