You need a certain number of hours of sleep per day - and kids need more. The normal adult should get 7-8 hours every day (at least - some need more), and kids need about 10 hours, teens at least 9 hours, younger kids even more. If you can get the proper amount of sleep, it will help you think better, perform better, and will give you more energy. If you fall asleep immediately when hitting the pillow - you probably aren't getting enough sleep. If you toss and turn and have trouble falling asleep, you may be getting too much sleep, or your stress level is too high and you can't get to sleep. You need to figure out how to be more relaxed and comfortable. Clear your mind of your troubles. Find a comfortable position to sleep in, let yourself feel luxurious. Natural Melatonin, (Tryptophan, which metabolizes to the hormone and neuro transmitter Serotonin, which in turn which converts to Melatonin), starts to kick in for most adults at around 8-10 pm at night, but for adolescents, more like at 11 pm - 1 am. Teens and tweens have more trouble falling asleep, but are great at staying up and sleeping in late. If your child needs more sleep (has to get up early or is an athlete who needs sleep to rejuvinate) and has trouble falling or staying asleep at night, talk to her doctor for suggestions. My daughter takes 1/2 mg of liquid Melatonin under her tongue each night about 20 minutes prior to going to bed (pediatrician recommended this). Stop Snoring - get more sleep! Some methods that work to help you fall asleep are below: Counting "sheep" - picture one sheep after another hopping over a fence, and keep counting to infinity. Counting anything. You can actually just count anything or just concentrate on numbers - or add a challenge such as counting by 3's or counting by 9's - or some other type of combination. This can also help you get faster in doing math, and for kids it might help them memorize math facts. Learn the alphabet. The method that worked best for me was to recite the alphabet backwards, trying to get faster and faster at it. This helped me know by instinct which letters were next to others. The above methods work because they cause you to think about something other than what is stressing you out (homework, job, money, love life, etc.). You start pushing the stressers out if you really throw yourself into the counting and such. Plus it will begin to get boring and then you'll feel more sleepy. Get rid of all the distracting electronics lights in the bedroom. Radios, TVs, computers, cellphones, etc. - most have constantly lit lights on them. Get them out of sight from the sleeping area. Try taking Melatonin. Start with low doses - if you take too much you may get side effects or stay groggy the next day. It works well for some people and does nothing for others. Some people get "knocked out cold" with it, and some have strange dreams or nightmares. Take the "sub-lingual" type to get it to act faster. Relax - get rid of your stress. Aromatherapy or Candles may help soothe you. If you need some more help getting relaxed or feeling sleepy and content, you can try a formula designed to help you sleep here. Go to Products, then Nutritionals and then see what might help you out. Durian Juice has helped many people sleep better, feel more rested, and more relaxed. Durian is high in Tryptophan. Stop Snoring - you might also need help with yourself or your spouse to quit snoring. If you can't sleep through the snoring, try a soring solution or sleep in another room. If you snore, you probably aren't getting as much rest from your sleep. Find a solution so you have a more peaceful, deep sleep. Ergonomic Solutions to help you position in the most comfortable way - you might need to change your posture or position. You should spend more energy daily and then you should be able to sleep better - try Playing Sports or try Fitness Exercises.
Some other ways to get to sleep include: Read a book. Reading can make one feel sleepy, or can get a story stuck in your head that can overtake other thoughts, or you might fall asleep thinking of how the next part of the story might go. Do some work on your laptop in bed to help you get some of your thoughts cleared by writing them down, so you need not stress about forgetting. A great product to use when working in bed on your laptop is the LapGenie - you can position it very comfortably so you can work in bed, and also keep the heat off of you.
Keep a pad and pen at your bed to grab and write your thoughts as you think of them - getting them out of your mind will allow you to relax, since you won't have to remember them in the morning - just look at your notes. Watch a really boring show, movie, or read a boring book. Be sure to stop all ingestion of caffeine - including sugars, chocolate, sodas, etc. - by early afternoon so it's out of your system by bedtime. Limit alcohol consumption, as well. Try drinking some warm milk or tea
Get more comfortable - choose pillows, beds, and comforters that make you feel comfortable, cozy, and peaceful. If none of this works, you might want to see your doctor. You might need medication to help you sleep, or your doctor may want to test your sleep to see if you have sleep apnea - interrupted sleep. You may not be getting enough oxygen at night - and may need to be tested - this can save your life if you aren't getting enough oxygen into your brain and system. Don't take lack of sleep lightly.

The answer is figured out by knowing that you can split the 100 in half at 50, then you know 1 + 99 is also 100, so go through
the numbers 1-49, adding to 99-49 each way. You know that 99-49 equals 50 additions (which all equal 100 - 1 + 99, 2 + 48, etc.) of
100 (50 X 100 = 5000), and then you need to add on the 50 as well - the total quickly comes out to 5050.
