Here’s How You Can Finally Get A Good Night’s Sleep… And Without The Dangers of Addictive Prescription Medications.
Answering your question: Why Cant I sleep? – Listed below are 6 newly discovered methods to get rid of your sleep problems.
Majority of people do not get the recommended seven to eight sleep hours mainly because of sleep problems or insomnia. Sleep is vital not only in making you rest, but the body gets a chance of reenergizing. Sleep problems can be placed into two categories and these include those finding it hard to fall asleep and those who have difficulties staying asleep. Though most people rush to buy prescription drugs to make them sleep, there are easy steps that one can follow to get enough and sufficient sleep.
Forget the Day’s Worries and Anxieties.
Try not to get yourself worried with what happened during the day prior to going to bed. Constant worrying will prevent you from getting adequate sleep. One way that you can put in place to deal with the worries is by writing them down on a journal and thinking of ways to solve them. This will free the mind and cause you to sleep much better.
Check What You Are Eating or Drinking.
Most people have developed the habit of taking coffee or tea prior to sleeping. Caffeine acts as a stimulant and will make the brain more active while you are sleeping making you wake up more frequently. In addition to drinks, eat two or three hours before going to bed. When you eat minutes to bedtime, the body becomes active digesting the food and this may make you have trouble sleeping.
Choose a Sleeping Routine.
One of the best ways to get the body to sleep is by forming a habit of going to bed at 
approximately the same time each night. If you decide to sleep at eleven at night, do the same for the other days. This will make the body get used to the time and with time you will not have to struggle falling asleep.
Maintain Proper Silence and Good Lighting.
When it comes to sleeping time, you will need as much silence as possible. However, with the TV and the radio on and other family members making noise in the background, it can be hard to maintain silence. If it is not possible to get them to reduce the noise, then consider using noise reducing headphones. Some people find it hard to sleep even with minimal amount of light. If the curtains filter in allows more light, change the curtains to a much darker color or use eye masks.
The Level of Physical Comfort.
This will depend on the bed and the mattress. If any of these two items are not in good shape, you will have trouble falling asleep regardless of how sleepy you are. So you need to buy quality a bed and mattress. A bad quality or old mattress will not only prevent you from sleeping; it can also lead to body aches further worsening your sleep difficulties.
The Perfect Room Temperature.
Rooms that are either too hot or cold are not ideal for sleeping. Most people tend to be more restless or wake up in the middle of the night in rooms that are too cold or warm. For good and restful sleep, make sure to keep the room slightly cool. As it has always been said practice makes perfect. If you develop a habit of practicing the above steps you will not have trouble sleeping.
Our health, well-being, and all round productivity is dependent on our food intake and our regular sleep. It then becomes quite natural for you to ask the question Why Cant I Sleep? if you have a problem sleeping naturally.
Falling asleep naturally is not all, it is also very important that the nightly sleep is peaceful, relaxed and continuous for a minimum period of at least 7 hours.
If a person cannot have sleep as described above his or her performance the next day will suffer, and they will not be in a mood or frame of mind conducive to anything productive.
Our body secretes a hormone called Melatonin which establishes our natural circadian rhythm (natural sleep cycle.)
When our body produces adequate amount of this hormone every evening, we feel sleepy and slip into peaceful and deep sleep when we close our eyes.
Most of us suffer from some sort of occasional sleeplessness from time to time. For some of us, it can be a problem. 
Because most people do not tell their doctor they have a sleeping problem, it is difficult to be accurate about the exact percentage of people who suffer occasional sleeplessness, but it is estimated that around 10% to 34% of the population suffer from some degree of sleeplessness.
Occasional sleeplessness can become a self-perpetuating habit. This results in the body not producing enough of the needed hormones (Melatonin) which eventually will turn the occasional sleepless nights into a cycle of not being able to sleep.
It is not yet known why the body doesn’t always produce enough melatonin every evening. There could be many contributory factors such as stress, alcohol, caffeine, excitement and irregular sleep patterns, such as in the case of shift workers.
Bright light in the room and watching TV before bed will affect your ability to sleep properly.
If we are to have a happy disposition, good health and lead a productive live we must have adequate sleep
It is during the sleep cycle, that the body rests from physical exertion. The brain relaxes from daily problem solving.
Many internal functions take place within your body during the sleep cycle, including normal maintenance and repair of damaged cells.
