It is still not known precisely why we need sleep but without adequate amount, humans can not function properly as they would with adequate amount of sleep. If the state of constant sleeplessness persists it is known to be fatal.

That being the case, it is a known fact that most humans once, or maybe repeatedly face a challenge of insomnia or sleepless state and have a hard time sleeping. That in adverse affects the way of their lives, the way they function and the way they feel at daytime. So at times when it is hard to sleep, here are a few ways that can help in getting a good night's rest.

1) Stay away from Stimulants such as coffee, tobacco, alcohol and other drugs:-  It is advisable that one should not drink coffee at least 6 hours before bed. It is also reported in some studies that drinking alcohol 3 or 4 hours before bed can lead to early waking, sleep disruptions and can disrupt the sleep cycle as a hole.

2) Don't overeat before bed:- It has been reported that overeating before bed and in fact eating directly before bed disrupts sleep patterns and also cause obesity.

3) Eat properly and exercise properly:- Forming a habit of eating and exercising properly are sure paths to a healthier life and also healthier sleep.

4) Take care of situations that you have to take care of:- Sometimes our night's rest may be disturbed by our conscious not feeling at rest. That means that there is something in our life that we need to take care of or correct before our conscious or subconscious gets its rest. 

5) Don't get involved in your thoughts while trying to fall asleep:- This actually is a very potent and important method. It is normal for people to get caught up in their thoughts while in bed that they get carried away in the flood of their own thoughts and lose the precious sleep that they need. It actually is quite hard to stop thinking when we want.

That way, thoughts come and go before one's own eyes and slowly one will get drifted away into sleep.
