I find one of the best things to do is to stop thinking or sleeping and start thinking of relaxing your body.

Try to clear your mind of your busy thoughts and instead work on relaxing one part of your body at a time.

Starting with your feet, moving up your legs to your hips, your tummy, your chest, shoulders, neck, head, arms, hands.

Until every single part of your body is relaxed.

Now snuggle down a little bit more and come with me to meet our friendly baby goat called Bluebell who is trying and trying to fall asleep.

Nothing is working until her grandma takes her on a twilight stroll around the farm where they live.

They meet many animals during their walk including a sheep dog who gives Bluebell some very wise advice and very soon she easily falls asleep.

Let's begin the kid who couldn't sleep by Jillian Rajasthan.
