Can be because we are overtired, sick, stressed, poor feng shui where we sleep, neighbours, crying child, had an argument
In fact there can be any number of reasons
It comes to all of us at some time or another
Counting sheep is the old classical solution
Try these if counting sheep does not work for you
Review the day just past in reverse order, noticing as a spectator where you had difficulties
.
Mentally decide if they need follow up or can be discarded
.
If they can be discarded then truly let them go
.
Let go of the day
.
Check the time you need to get up and what things must be done the next day
.
Gently let go of thoughts
.
Push them away
.
Let your brain and mind know that you are shutting down, going to sleep
.
And of this does not work then after a suitable time, suitable being when you have tried and tried
Focus on something you like and look at it in complete detail
Go into every facet of it
.
Explore every detail it might be your motorbike, your painting, your new recipe
.
Gently go through this scenario
.
And if you are still awake
.
Accept the idea that you might not sleep and that it does not matter
.
Let go of the importance of sleep and find a relaxed position and just lie there pushing thoughts away
.
To help you sleep better try taking Valerian tea in the early evening
.
Make sure it is the twig type not the tea bag variety
.
Do this daily the effect is cumulative
.
Sleep is easy to find when we are relaxed not so easy when over tired and stressed
.
So try to address and remove the causes of stress
