People have heard of the old sleep trick of counting sheep in order to fall asleep, however some people find that they can reach a high number without falling asleep. This is because the simple task of counting up from 1 is too simple and allows your brain space to worry about things in the background. Trying more complicated tasks like counting down from 100 in 3s (97, 94, 91, etc.), this will allow your brain to stop worrying about events of the day.

Research has shown that magnesium plays a key role in the brain and a lack of mineral can prevent the brain from slowing down when it is time to sleep. Most people get magnesium from the variety of foods that they eat, such as almonds, leafy greens, and a variety of seeds. While other people may need to take a supplement in order to find the right balance for their personal needs. For those who are in need of a supplement, it is important to consult a doctor for the correct dose because magnesium has the potential of interacting with other medications.
