How to Fall Asleep Faster
If sleep eludes you as soon as your head hits the pillow, stop tossing and turning, and try one of these effective fall asleep fast tricks below.
Honey and Sleep – A spoonful of raw, unpasteurized honey (not processed), is proven to help you fall asleep fast. And, whether you stir it into a cup of tea, or lick it right off the spoon, honey goes to work quickly to trigger the release of the all-important sleep hormone melatonin. Melatonin is necessary in regulating our sleep cycle, as well as suppressing stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline, that can contribute to keeping us awake at night. Valerian and Sleep – This herb has been used in Europe for decades, and studies have proven that the herb valerian helps prevent insomnia and other sleep disturbances from the very first dose. In fact, it’s so effective that for 90% of those who take 100 mg right before bed, they are able to fall asleep almost immediately. Valerian is safe, non-habit forming, and won’t leave your drowsy the next day. You can find valerian root in both capsule and tea form at your local health food store, as well as online.
Music for Sleeping – We all know the effect that soft lullaby music has on babies, but you don’t need to be a baby to get the same sleep-inducing benefits. While you don’t have to listen to a nursery lullaby, studies show that listening to slow, relaxing music, especially those without lyrics, 30 minutes before bed, has a great calming effect on the brain. Those who listen to slow, relaxing music prior to bed, not only fall asleep much faster, they also are much more likely to stay asleep throughout the night.

Happiness is a choice, and it comes from dwelling on what you like, rather than on what you don’t like.
