im looking for something to relax me, so i can actually attempt to sleep. its really hard for me to stop racing thoughts when i should be in bed.. so i turn to hypnosis…although i have checked youtube, and nothing there really works for me.. and i need to find something FREE that helps you to sleep.if you have a site, or want to recommend something, please do.Thanks in advance

On youtube, you may find some decent hypnosis videos, but you will also run up against a lot of low quality hypnosis recordings.I know you asked for FREE stuff, but if possible you might check out eBay for very low priced CDs and maybe some downloads. On the link below, I see you can bid on 2 CDs by Wendi Friesen. She is one of the best in her field. I highly recommend her CDs. http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=sleep+hypnosis&_sacat=See-All-CategoriesWhat I found most helpful is having someone with a relaxed voice speaking on a recording with calm music or nature sounds. The combination of voice plus background music is one of the best things to really knock me out fast.You probably know this, but I would avoid any “subliminal” hypnosis CDs. Almost all of them are a bunch of crap. At no extra cost, I am including a long list I once wrote about ways to fall asleep. The list is so long that reading it might put you to sleep :-) A warm bath is a great way to help you to sleep (depending on the season). If you can’t take a bath, you can give yourself a foot massage with slightly warm massage oil, sesame oil, or castor oil from a health food store.A helpful technique is to relax your body one part at a time. So you could relax your feet, your lower legs, upper legs, moving up from your lower belly up to your chest, etc., until your whole body is relaxed.Of course, guided relaxation methods can help. As vividly as you can, imagine yourself at the beach, in the mountains or the country, or whatever is most soothing to you.If you have annoying thoughts or personal issues that run through your mind when you are trying to sleep, you might have to talk to a counselor or therapist about that. I suggest avoiding prescription sleeping pills unless nothing else helps.There are herbs that might help you to sleep, eg, valerian root, kava kava, chamomile, hops, passion flower, skullcap. Probably, valerian root and kava kava are the best. However, what most people don’t realize is that it can take a few weeks for some herbs to build up in your system before they start to work. The minerals calcium and magnesium might be helpful for sleep. You can also try 5-HTP or melatonin. I would not take melatonin for over a month unless your doctor says it is ok.

Here is a resource for you , below, however if your cortisol (a hormone that regulates sleep with melatonin) is high instead of low in the PM, this could cause your experience… it is suppose to be high in the AM , to wake us, and low in the PM

hormone experts can help you
