Have a gander over here:

I've had much the same problem for years now, but very much so since about Jan or so of this year.
I'd suggest eye-blinds and ear-plugs. You do feel a bit ridiculous in bed, but they're very effective. Boots (if you're living in the UK) sell two kinds of ear-plugs: wax and foam. If you find something in your ear uncomfortable, or least distracting as I do, I'd suggest going for the foam kind. They form into the shape of your ear and are relatively unobtrusive. They're also quite cheap (about two quid). They're disposable though, so if you do find them effective you might want to buy a proper pair for long term use.
Breathing excercises I've tried, and while I use them regularly to just relax, they haven't helped me much in getting a few extra hours of kip.
The black out blinds I'm sure are fantastic, but are surprisingly expensive. Though I'm sure buying the material and making them yourself would be a lot cheaper.
A very mild spliff (or even half a very mild spliff) I've found helpful sometimes as well. But this is only if I have the time to use it to destress with some music and a book. Anymore than a tiny amount and it disrupts my sleep patterns very badly. |
