Still awake? Here's how to fall asleep in 60 seconds!

Like air, food, and water, sleep is just one of those things that we depend on for our survival.

You can actually die if you go without sleep for long enough, and those who don't get enough shut-eye tend to shed their mortal coils faster than their well rested peers.

There are new ways discovered to help us fall asleep within 60 seconds

But unlike air, food, and water, many of us are perfectly willing to skip our needed rest when it suits us. Despite having a long, hard day from work, we always have a hard time getting to sleep when we get home.

It also doesn't help that our modern world makes sleeping difficult, even when we're desperate to catch some precious Z's. The invention of the light bulb, despite being an otherwise wonderful device, has made our 24 hour world possible; while the blue glow of our computer screens continues to wreak havoc on our sleep schedule.

I've grappled with this personally. Spending the evening on my computer sometimes means it may take me a couple of hours to finally fall asleep.

And I know that many of you reading this have similar sleep problems. A study conducted in 2009 found that 35% of adults get less than 7 hours of sleep every night, and 4.7% reported falling asleep while driving at least once in the past month (try not to think about it during your next commute). It's practically an epidemic, and it's slowly killing us.

There are even instances when we fall asleep while listening to lectures at school, or take small naps at work—but we never seem to get to sleep right away when we reach our beds. Is there a way for us to sleep right away?

While many people resort to taking sleeping pills to get the sleep they need, there are still other ways that do not require medication. What causes lack of sleep anyway?

The use of electronic devices like cell phones, tablets, and computers is something that's changed just in the past 10 to 15 years, and I think that's a big part of the problem,

says Namni Goel, PhD, who studies sleep disorders at the University of Pennsylvania. So, with this at hand, what would be the best way to get enough sleep?

Fortunately, there may be a solution. Doctors believe that this method is effective enough to make us sleep within 60 seconds.
