It can be due to lot of anxiety or over-worrying of things. The best and 100% guaranteed working technique on me is to close your eyes, lock into that position and think of sweet moments in your life. I don't know exactly the scientific reason for it, but thinking of sweet moments help you distract from anxiety and over-worrying things and helps you to get sleep early. Also you can try out chanting this sentence while closing your eyes, "I am sleeping". Seems weird, but honestly it sometimes works.

Thinking too much makes you feel uncomfortable. so then you don't sleep well. My advice is that you should decrease amount of your thoughts as possible as you can.

Each time I feel anxious or not perceived from the people I love or there is to much pressure from outside (parents, job, advertise, doctors, ...) my heart keep me awake: with his irregular fast beat I can hardly breath regularly and feel a connection with my body.

Because of the use of electronic devices and the flashing led lights. Try using softwares like flu.x for IPhone's and iMac's to help you sleep better and remove all blinking lights, especially blue ones since they cause an imbalance in your system that causes you to stay awake.

Anxiety from the day or day to come. Uncomfortable sleeping conditions. This is the time your brain has to relax and truly reflect on important matters that it otherwise was not able to do during the day. Constant thoughts don't allow you to relax.

Any or a combination of these reasons; - You don't spend enough time unwinding from your day and doing unimportant/not stressful things before bed. -You are probably allergic to something, e.g phenylalanine/aspartame can cause insomnia (t's artificial sweetener and is most commonly found in chewing gum). Spices can do the same thing, so can artificial flavours, alcohol and some medications. - You don't manage your stress properly e.f unresolved anger can interfere with sleep, so can any unresolved conflict with people or feeling stressed about an event. The best thing to do is write what is on your mind then take those thoughts to a therapist and come to terms with it. Once the thoughts are gone the sleep will be better. Sometimes unfortunately things take longer to resolve so poor sleep will be a prolonged event. In this case it helps to learn how to manage your stress because sleep loss can affect your mood. Meditation helps, so do weights, walking and chilling out!

It’s not normal to feel sleepy during the day, to have problems getting to sleep at night, or to wake up feeling exhausted. But even if you’ve struggled with sleep problems for so long that it seems normal, you can still learn to sleep better. You can start by tracking your symptoms and sleep patterns, and then making healthy changes to your daytime habits and bedtime routine. If self-help doesn’t do the trick, you can turn to sleep specialists who are trained in sleep medicine. Together, you can identify the underlying causes of your sleeping problem and find ways to improve your sleep and quality of life.
