      There are several things you may be doing that will keep you awake at night.  Here are five:

      Caffeine - do not consume caffeine 8 hours before bedtime
      Stress - Tiffs immediately before bedtime will take its toll
      Excitement - Physical activities & a whirling mind will not allow relaxation
      Mental Stimulation - Video games & electrifying movies keep you from winding down
      Sugary Foods - Sugar rush within 2 or 3 hours of bedtime will keep you awake

      Sleep is within your control.  You can easily avoid caffeine, video games and sugary foods before bedtime.  Make a habit of relaxing before you turn in.  Don't concentrate on the work ahead or uncompleted tasks of the day.  Make sleep a priority in your life

      Do you have trouble falling asleep?

      Warm milk doesn't work? Counting sheep? Herbal Teas or crackers don't either? Here are three off-the-wall sleep tips that might just work for you.

      Massage Your Feet
      Spas and massage therapists have know for centuries pampering your feet relieves stress and promotes relaxation.  Have your significant other massage your feet before bed until they are warm and tingly.  You can do it yourself but it much more effective with help. A hot water foot bath can be relaxing and rejuvenating too.

      Curl and Uncurl your Toes
      Sounds strange I know. But, it works for some people. Try it for a few weeks - slowly curl and uncurl your toes for 30 seconds to a minute.  Repeat.  Don't over do it just enough to get relaxed.

      You can train yourself, just like Pavlov's dog, to associate this relaxing action with sleep. After ten days or a few weeks you will associate this activity with sleep.

      Rub Your Belly
      Start with your belly button and rub in bigger and bigger circles. Do it once clockwise and once counter-clockwise. Try larger circles and then smaller circles. Do it for several minutes. It works for puppies, why would it work for you?

      "A good night’s sleep is important to a child’s success in school.

      Dr. Burg says lack of sleep can cause decreased attention span, sleeping in class, reduced reaction time and all of that can lead to lower grades.

      Dr Burg recommends grade school children should get between 10 and 11 hours of sleep each night. Those in middle and high school need between 9 and 10 hours."

      Thomas Edison thought it was waste of time. Margaret Thatcher once famously said that it was “for wimps.”

      Some lucky people can get by on only four to six hours of shut-eye a night. We hate to break it to you, but you're probably not one of them. Here, the truth about how much sleep you really need — and what can happen if you don't get it.

      The 36-year-old man was due to check in for a flight to Oslo, but found no one on duty at the airline desk. He leapt across the counter and fell asleep on the baggage belt with his bag beside him. The man then traveled for 15 minutes through the secure baggage area before being spotted on an X-ray scanner.

      Did your mom ever tell you to drink warm milk if you were having trouble going to sleep?  Well, mom knows best!  Warm milk contains small proteins called peptides which helps your brain slow down so you can sleep.

      But, there is a trick Mom may not have known about.  First, you need to bring the milk to a slight boil and remove it from the heat.  Allow the milk to cool enough to drink.  Interestingly, the boiling breaks down the milk proteins, or peptides, into smaller and smaller pieces.  And as we just read, its the peptides that will calm your brain.

      Have you tried warm milk?
