SET AN INTENTION BEFORE YOU LAY DOWN TO SLEEP.
Here are some affirmations to practice before you lay down to go to sleep.  I find it let alone can quiet your mind but help with insomnia.  There are actual spiritual fitness exercises using energy medicine that can also help you.   By stating before you anything that you recite or pray of good pleasant dreams that you will sleep sound and wake up with joy in your heart.  Or even better if it is a struggle to affirm or pray ,  you can check buy on of my meditation albums that are specifically produced for sound sleep and morning joy.  
ADOPT A CAT OR TWO:
I also find that and ESA pet can also provide balance in your energy pattern my cats are trained in this for their purring is a vibration that can help balance your energy systems.  Sometimes one will lay on my chest and present me to pet them that brings on the purring.  While I provide them with unconditional love it helps quiet my mind.   This can also be with any furry friend.  Though cats seem to have a bit of magic when it comes to their purring.  School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, explains Scientists have demonstrated that cats produce the purr through intermittent signaling of the laryngeal and diaphragmatic muscles. Cats purr during both inhalation and exhalation with a consistent pattern and frequency between 25 and 150 Hertz. Various investigators have shown that sound frequencies in this range can improve bone density and promote healing. Because cats have adapted to conserve energy via long periods of rest and sleep, it is possible that purring is a low energy mechanism that stimulates muscles and bones without a lot of energy. The durability of the cat has facilitated the notion that cats have "nine lives" and a common veterinary legend holds that cats are able to reassemble their bones when placed in the same room with all their parts. Purring may provide a basis for this feline mythology. The domestication and breeding of fancy cats occurred relatively recently compared to other pets and domesticated species, thus cats do not display as many muscle and bone abnormalities as their more strongly selected carnivore relative, the domestic dog. Perhaps cats' purring helps alleviate the dysplasia or osteoporotic conditions that are more common in their canid cousins. Although it is tempting to state that cats purr because they are happy, it is more plausible that cat purring is a means of communication and a potential source of self-healing.  So we can learn from these amazing magical creatures. Which brings me to the next tip.

TAKE A NAP:

---

1. Better cognitionTaking a power nap leaves you feeling more alert. In turn, your brain should function more efficiently. 
2. Improved memoryNaps may promote memory consolidation (the process where our brain turns information into a long-term memory). A good nap right after learning something new appears to help us retain that information. 
3. Boosted immunity
The naps helped reduce levels of inflammatory cytokines and norepinephrine, a chemical that helps control immunity.  “For most people, the 20- to 30-minute ‘power nap’ is the sweet spot for boosting alertness and focus,” says Jeff Rodgers, DMD, a certified sleep expert with the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and the American Sleep and Breathing Academy.
