An evening with my youngest daughter, when I kiss her the night before, we always chat for a while.

"- Dad, I feel like I'm having trouble falling asleep, I'm too upset.

- No, no, but there are plenty of things in my head. You know how do you stop thinking?
- Ooh la! It is difficult to stop thinking. You think of things that t'inquiètent?
- No, I say, stop making your psychiatrist, Dad! It's just that I can not stop my brain to sleep. Tell me how.
- Well, often what helps is not to try to sleep, not to say: "I must go to sleep, I must go to sleep", but rather relax.

"- I feel, not terrible but it works, anyway. You have nothing better?
- You know, sleep, can not control him, we can just wait until it comes, trying not to get too excited to be determined to sleep there now.
- OK, OK. Then drops, rather scratch my back a bit please ... "

what I did.

And she fell asleep.
