How do I fall asleep after being woken up?

Usually it takes me 1+ hours of lying in bed to fall asleep and what i hate is when i'm right about to fall asleep and some tiny stupid *** noise wakes me the **** up and i feel like i just drank a cup of coffee and feel wide awake for the next hour or so and can't fall asleep.... it pisses me off so much how can i fall asleep faster after being interrupted or something? I'm tired of wearing ear plugs every night i was wondering if theres a way to fix this problem... And don't tell me stuff like "oh just close your eyes" or some dumb stuff like that

    Lie down. Concentrate on keeping a position for 5 minutes. Count if you have to and then change the position.

    after doing that a few times you will find that you can;t do in anymore or don;t want to and then let yourself go into the nost comfortable position that you know and then think about yur breathing and listen to it. aha you will fast asleep vefore you know itl

    Most sleeping problems are probably caused by stress, depression, anxiety and worry.

    Sleeping pills can give you bad side effects such as headaches and drowsiness during the day so you are better off without them.

    To sleep better just relax and switch off, if you can.

    If you are having trouble switching off at bedtime some light exercise (for example, push ups or sit ups) at bedtime often helps you to relax, unwind and switch off and that often improves your sleep. Strenuous exercise at bedtime is likely to ruin your sleep.

    Common OTC sleep aids include Chamomile tea, 5-HTP, Melatonin and Valerian Root.

    Sleep enhancing foods include warm milk, turkey, cherries, oatmeal, bananas, wine and others as in a web search for "sleep enhancing foods".
