How to Get to Sleep Fast

If you suffer from insomnia then learning how to get to sleep fast is an essential skill to learn to help you overcome your particular condition. There are a number of techniques that have shown to be effective to bring about sleep quickly, and particularly effective are a range of relaxation techniques. The key thing though is actually not to lie in your bed thinking to yourself that you must get to sleep. The more you focus on the fact that you cannot get to sleep, the more frustrated you will become and the more difficult it will be to actually get to sleep.

The most useful technique that I use for how to get to sleep fast is "visualization". This simply means that you image yourself in a completely stress free scene - typically on a tropical island, or some people prefer the idea of floating on a cloud. Then it is a matter of imagining all of your senses experiencing this situation, so think of the breeze on your skin, the sounds you hear (birds, waves breaking on the shore, for example) and aromas you might smell. Take in the scene gradually, concentrating on particular senses at a time if you find this easier. This takes a bit of practice, but once you have mastered it you will find that you will be getting off to sleep faster than you ever have done before.
