Each of us find ourselves hard to sleep at night. Probably because we are nervous, afraid or anxious. We are not ready to face what is coming for us the next day. Here are few tips that works for me (results may vary):
1. PRAY!
No matter from which religion we are from; we pray when we face problems. Studies shown that when we pray to God; tell him our problems; makes us feel better and calmer than before. But remember, do not pray for something you want like 'a car, NDS, PSP and all that'. God will give you something that you want when you need it so just pray to tell God that you are grateful for all the things you receive.
2. Write your feelings.
Studies also shown that we write our feelings in our journal or diary, we fell more relax. When we write our feelings, it's as if our burden or stress is gone for the moment. This also works when we have our exam coming. It is said; we will have a better result when we write down our worries but of course you need to study first....
3. Draw
Drawing can be very relaxing for me. Your drawings doesn't need to be so pretty. All you need to do is draw what ever comes in mind. Your drawings reflects your emotions too. Sometime when we draw a little child crying sitting all alone means that we feel the same way as that drawing. That kind of drawing might means that you lost someone you love or feel somewhat lose, unwanted.
4. Read
Reading can be a great way to past your time when you can't sleep. Just a pick a book that is not too heavy like "Physics". Usually I read the "History Textbook" to make me fall asleep because it's very boring. However, it doesn't work for me anymore as I find few of the topics very interesting. You should do a light reading like magazines, manga or picture books. Just make sure you don't get too engrossed on the book and before you know it: it's already 4 am.... Please... just take a very thin book...
