How to go to Sleep Fast
Ok, you need to go to sleep, fast. Here is a quick guide on how to go to sleep fast, but first up your will need a comfortable pillow and bed, darkness and silence, otherwise this guide will not work.
First up, you need to lie in bed and clear your mind of all the distractions and stresses that have built up over the day. Don't think about tomorrow either.
Now that you have cleared your mind, you should try to control your breathing. Close your eyes and inhale deeply for two whole seconds, counting them out in your mind. Then breathe out for two whole seconds, still counting in your mind. Keep doing this, focussing on counting and maintaining a regular breathing cycle.
Once you have been doing this for a few minutes, you need to begin to release the stress in your body. Start with your toes, flex each one individually, then move up your legs, slowly clenching and releasing each muscle as you move up. As you do this make sure you keep your mind on the task at hand. By the time you get to your face, you should be getting relaxed. If you are not yet asleep, start back at your toes.
The more often you follow this routine, the more effective it will become, so don't get disheartened if it doesn't work too well the first time.
