Now, you're thinking: "I want to know how to fall asleep fast!

Sleeping pills scam!

Sure, you could go purchase sleeping pills or sleep aids. And sure, they probably do help you fall asleep. But honestly, think for a short moment before taking the easy, but expensive way out.

You don't need a sleeping pill / medicine to fall asleep! You didn't need them when you were a baby, why would you need them now? It's all one big scam. What you really should do is find the true reason you can't fall asleep at night.

And for most people who can't fall asleep, the problem underlays in their mind.

Mind control

You really want to know why your friend Joe Schmo can fall asleep so quickly? It's because he can clear his mind! While you're probably thinking about the new day ahead and or money or relationship problems, Joe Schmo pushes these problems aside before rest, allowing himself to fall asleep quickly and efficiently.

Mind Control: Before bed tips

1. Write everything that is on your mind on paper.
2. Talk to somebody about what's on your mind.
3. Forgive yourself.

Before bed sleep techniques

As mind control is the major factor in falling asleep quickly, some of the following tips may also help you to fall asleep.

• Working out at least 1/2 an hour a day.
• Having proper sleeping materials: Bed, covers, pillows...
• Listening to soothing sounds: Ocean waves, music, or waterfalls.
• Eating 2tbsp peanut butter before bed.
• Drinking warm milk.
• Using the restroom.
• Watching golf.
• Counting sheep (in your mind).
• Reading.
• Relaxing: warm bath, shower, etc.
• Developing consistency in your sleeping habits.

Falling asleep naturally isn't always easy

This is definitely going to be something you're going to have to fiddle with. But again, it sure beats paying for those sleeping pills - which you don't need!

Just for a laugh: There were no sleeping pills in the "olden days." So what? You think people just didn't sleep? Nope. Instead, they actually took the time to solve their sleeping problems.

It is possible for you to learn how to fall asleep fast. But again, it's something you'll have to work on and teach yourself over time.

[Update 4/15/2009]

As Video Blogging Tips grows, I must now more than ever, make stricter rules on myself and on my readers so we can together abide by all rules of the law and the advertising programs that I am using.

Media/Picapp: More often than not, I have been getting my images from Picapp. Picapp is a company that allows the embedding of their editorial and creative images free of cost. The only thing Picapp asks is that the user keeps the code and image intact and unedited. I fully agreed to these conditions from day one of using their program. And even though it's not required, I source, at the bottom of each post, every time I use one of Picapp's images. I greatly appreciate this wonderful company and I am glad and proud to be using their services in conjunction with VideoBloggingTips.

MOI (Media of Importance): If a person goes missing or somebody is wanted, I will post media on my site related to the situation. [Sometimes images and sometimes videos.] I feel it's vital that in situations of importance, it's necessary to give my readers the best available information on the web. And in a missing person's case or a wanted case, it's extremely important to allow my readers and everyone amongst my site to see any image or video available to help solve a case. With that being said, in MOI posts, I will sometimes copy media from other sites for the sole purposes of their importance. I do source where I received the media from at the end of my MOI posts. If you feel like I shouldn't be using your Media on my page in a MOI post, contact me at ttomp13@gmail.com and it will be removed. But again, all I am trying to do is help save a life or capture a suspect by providing my readers with the best available media possible. Again, this is only something that I do for MOI posts.

Media/Video: I embed videos from The News Room and then my own videos from Youtube. The embedding of my own videos is fine because I made the videos. Embedding The News Room videos is also okay because I am a News Room publisher. This means that I get paid for each time one of my site visitors watches a video I have embedded from The News Room.

Citing Information: Not everything posted on VideoBloggingTips is common knowledge. Some of it I discovered myself and some of it I did not. In those cases where I read information elsewhere and then added the facts to my own site, I always source, at the end of each post, where I got the information in the post from. That way, all sources I use can be properly credited for their work.

Comments: In order to keep this blog clean, I ask that you don't say anything on here that you wouldn't say in front of God. It's really that simple. If you don't have something clean to say, then don't say it. I need to comply with AdSense and Infolink policies and keep this blog completely clean. If you really feel like saying a bad word, bleep it with *****. I do it. You can do it. It's not a big deal. Furthermore, SPAM is usually deleted... Especially if it links to some sort of virus. And don't waste your time either folks. Anytime you post a link as a comment in my blog, it won't be recognized by Google due to the NoFollow tag. [Which means that the link won't help your rankings anyway.]

Thanks for taking your time to read the policies.

In the Redbook Exclusive Interview, Pressly discusses her split with Eric Cubiche, Eric's role in her and her babies life, and what she wants in a future relationship.

Here's a summary - preview of the article:

Why did Jamie and Eric Split? Jamie stated that they split because Eric became a traveling DJ while she was pregnant. They rarely saw each other and according to Jamie, they were living separate lives.

When Jamie was asked to comment on Eric she said: "I have full custody, but when he’s in town, Eric comes and sees Dezi every day. Eric’s very much a part of his life; he’s a great father."

In future relationships Jamie said that she would like someone who isn't scared to take care of her. That doesn't sound like too much to ask.

Although her story is bitter, Jamie Pressly sure gives it a bitter-sweet tone and attitude. Women like Jamie are very respectable simply because they don't blame all of their problems on others. From the sounds of things, Jamie is simply amazing. I hope that all turns out well for her.

For the full interview and for more information regarding Eric Cubiche and Jamie Pressly, be sure to check out this months version of Redbook Magazine! It will have all of the great details and so much more.

Alina Percea auction info

Here's what 18-year-old Alina had to say regarding the subject:

“The man who proves the most generous can stay with me for a full weekend but he has to pay for everything if we travel and stay in a hotel.”

Unbelievable. She continued to say that she wants to meet a "gentle, respectful, and generous man." Sorry honey. Anytime a dude is paying for your services, he's automatically being disrespectful. But hey, that's just me.

Well, I hope all goes well for Alina and hopefully she gets the guy that she wants. So far, bids are up to $7,300 dollars. She's looking to make $73,000 dollars. She's probably thinking, "Can I have a redo?" Dumb... Well, there's still 3 days left in the auction, so hopefully all goes well.

On Monday, Suleman proceeded to fire the nonprofit group of nurses called, "Angels in Waiting," that were helping her take care of her kids. Fire a nonprofit? How stupid can you be?

According to Suleman's attorney, the relationship between the nurses and Suleman started off poorly and just worsened from there.

Sweet... So I guess Nadya will be taking care of all eight of her children now? Awesome. Good luck with that. All I know is, I feel bad for those kids. Jeez man. Put this girl in the fryer!

When Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat heard of the story, he personally took matters into his own hands. Wade took a day to visit Michael at his Florida home. That's when he noticed all of the sports souvenirs of the Miami, Heat that Michael had. But Wade noticed something; He noticed something missing. Michael didn't have a Miami, Heat Jersey.

Wade gives jersey to Michael Stolzenberg

So, at the end of the Miami-Memphis game, Wade took off his jersey, and gave it to Michael.

Here's what Wade had to say about the kid:

"He lights you up, the smiles on his face. He seems so happy."

It's really too bad that all of the stories that I write aren't like this one...

Hause's punishment includes the following:

• 30 days of prison
• $500 fine
• 10 day community service
• 3 years probation

Hause claims that she is innocent, saying that she didn't know the minors were drinking when they jumped around her to take the picture. Furthermore, it should be known that Hause wasn't just hanging around a bunch of cheerleaders from a school that she taught at. Instead, Hause actually has a son that knows the cheerleaders and was with them at the time.

I really think Hause should have been let off with a warning. This is pretty extreme. I mean, shouldn't we be spending our tax money elsewhere?

Hughes was the son of Sylvia Plath. Plath, who also took her own life when Huges was only 1 years old, was a wonderful poet. She was also married to Ted Hughes: The man who destroyed her journal after her death.

Hughes was a great guy and he will definitely be missed. A family-friend had this to say about him:

"Nick wasn’t just the baby son of Plath and Hughes and it would be wrong to think of him as some kind of inevitably tragic figure. He was a man who reached his mid-forties, an adventurous marine biologist with a distinguished academic career behind him and a host of friends and achievements in his own right. That is the man who is mourned by those who knew him."

I am sure that he will greatly be missed. May he rest in peace.

Kristy Hinze is a 28-year-old swimsuit model and Jim Clark is a 64-year-old billionaire. Let's just put it this way; I don't think they'd be together if he didn't have the extra flow to throw around.... Just a general opinion. That's all I am saying.

News.LA.Late is reporting that the location of their wedding will be Richard Branson's Necker Island. And if you were wondering, Jim Clark is the Co-Founder of Netscape. :) I didn't know who he was either...
