Question 4

what are sounds that help you fall asleep (oceans (oxymetazoline) crashing, thunder and rain, etc.)?

Accepted Answer

White noise: Some people need white noise to help them fall asleep.  This can be anything from static on radio station to train going by or crickets in addition to what you listed.  Often helpful for people that 'can't turn mind off' or those with conditions such as tinnitus (ringing or noise in ears).  The idea is distraction.

Question 10

could you tell me what's the best way to fall asleep at night?

Accepted Answer

See www. Lef.org: I generally refer to www. Lef.Org for this. It stands for life extension foundation. You may also want to check out l- threanine  and a product called tranquilene  which is found at www. Tranquilene.Com. Also google sleep hygiene and begin to practice it. No alcohol. No drugs. If these don't work, see a sleep dctor or board certified sleep psychologist.
