17 Ways To Get To Sleep On Christmas
This will help the younger as older can usually sleep DANG LITTLE LIGHT WEIGHTS LOL
Finding it hard to get to sleep on Christmas Eve? Well, you're not alone - it is a hard night to fall asleep on, as excitement and eagerness abound. Santa's coming and you can't bear how long it takes for the time to tick away. Here are some suggestions that might help you to overcome the excitement and get some much-needed sleep before the big day.
1.Think of it as a normal night. Do the same things you always do in your bedtime routine: brush your teeth, read a book, chat to the dog, etc.
2Relax! If you are just jumping up and down and feeling hyperactive, you need to calm down; you're only feeding a build-up of excitement that it'll be hard to come down from. Try taking a hot bath. Relax and just close your eyes. Squirt bath toys at imaginary targets - anything to keep you relaxing in the bath.
3Get into a comfortable sleeping position. Try and stay still, don't move at all and you will become tired. This is important for anytime you try to get to sleep. See some of the related wikiHows in this article for some more ideas on helping you to fall asleep. Or visit the whole category on Better Sleeping.
4Try not to think about Christmas. It may be hard, but try it! Think of a best friend or think of your favorite song, video game, etc. Maybe write a song, a poem or a play.
5Relax. Breathe slowly. Count sheep. Any of these methodical, centering and calming methods will help to move you out of being too excited into a calmer state, which may help you to feel sleepy.
6Don't keep on peeking into the living room. This might spoil any surprises and will keep you - well, very awake!
7Try exercising. Although this may seem counter-intuitive, exercise can help to calm you down. See how many push-ups, crunches, or jumping jacks you can do in your room. Exercise only for thirty minutes though; you don't want to stay up too late. Exercising is a great way to help you feel physically tired, so your body will want to sleep. Better still, it will take your mind off Christmas for a little while.
8Lie in bed and say this in your head: "Relax my toes. Relax my arch. Relax my heel." It might sound corny but it really does work through the power of suggestion. Make sure to work all the way up to your head. Even keeping up the effort of concentration on doing this is a great distraction.
9Glass of milk - and maybe a cookie or two... Drink warm milk or at least some eggnog. The milk provides calcium, magnesium, and tryptophan, which can help you sleep. You can also try hot herbal tea; it is very soothing and calming to drink.
10Put on the tidy gear. If you know you are going to be videotaped in the morning, prepare your best set of PJ's. You don't want everybody to remember you wearing that raggedy old t-shirt and a pair of shorts on Christmas morning, do you? Don't forget to brush your hair in the morning before galloping downstairs!
11Read a book. It can be about Christmas, although it doesn't really matter. Try reading a school text book... a really boring one, of your least favourite subject. If you find it easy to fall asleep in class well...
12Listen to slow Christmas music and think about the REAL reason why you celebrate Christmas. This seriously helps.
13Set a time to wake up. Make sure that the whole family agrees with it. That way, when it turns (let's say 9:00) everyone is prepared to get up. If you get up earlier than this, have some breakfast, go to the washroom, get ready so that you actually look OK on video.
14Don't sit at the computer or laptop late at night if you can't sleep, this will only make you more awake!
15Make a playlist on your iPod "sleep songs".
16Try to not peek at your presents! This only makes Christmas less exciting, because, then, you already know what you got.
17.Get on TTG and post stuff that is off christmas topic.
18.Play a game for eges and your eyes will get sore then sleepy.
19.Take a punch from your dad so your knocked out.
WIKIHOW FTW:)

I know for a fact I will be on TTG when it strikes Midnight tonight.
It will keep me up to about 1AM until I try to sleep.
Thanks for the tips man, I will be sure to use them.
