Recently I've started taking a hot malty drink just before I go to bed and when I go to bed after doing a bit of reading I focus on my breathing to clear my mind. As I mentioned this is recently but I've been going to sleep alot quicker.
Before bed, I put a hot rag on my neck and relax with the hot rag on my neck for a few minutes. I also read from Joel Osteen's book "Become a Better You" until I get sleepy. It has really helped me to relax at night.
I found them one day while searching the internet for something to help me calm my panic. This site offers many wonderful things and amongst them, they offer about 7 or 8 free eight to ten minute very HIGH quality guided meditations for FREE. Do a search for selfhelptree. My favorite is the beach meditation. Her voice is so soothing and the sounds are nice. I hope it can help someone relax a little. Please let me know how you like it.
