Silicone lubricant will help the key slide out easily, and since it is water resistant it will help to protect your lock against rust. You can also try to use a graphite powder. It can help to lubricate without gumming up the lock. The cylinder will need to be in a locked or unlocked position to be able to extract the key fragment from the door. If you try to remove any key when the key is in between states it will stay stuck in the lock. Use needle nose pliers to reach inside the cylinder. Turn the cylinder until the door is locked or unlocked. Slide the handle portion of the key into the lock until it reaches the broken segment. You will want to see where the large groove on the side of the key is located. This is the best spot to insert your extractor tool. Key extractor tools are generally sold in a set with a variety of different key hooks and spiral extractors. You can buy them online or at any hardware store. The key hooks look like miniature harpoons, with long, thin rods and can have a variety of hook shapes on the end. Spiral extractors are thin, bendable metal rods with tiny hooks all along the length. While any of the tools might work for a number of different keys, it may take some trial and error to find the tool that best fits your lock and grips your key fragment. Start with the small hook tool. The small hooks on extractor tools can usually grab the majority of key types and shapes. The hook should be facing upward to easily hook the teeth of the key. Direct the tool so that it slides in along the groove on the side of the key. Once the extractor tool is in the lock, turn the tool toward the key slightly. Then pull the tool back while pressing the handle end away from the lock. This will press the hook against the key and help slide it out of the lock. Keep trying until the hook on the tool catches one of the teeth and you are able to pull the partial key free. If using spiral style extractor tools the same rule methods apply. However, instead of twisting a small amount, you will want to spin the handle several times before pulling the tool straight back to remove the key fragment. You can try using an additional extractor tool on the other side of the key at the same time. Slide the key in the same way and pull the tools back and with slight pressure in the opposite direction to help grip the key between the tools. If the key comes part of the way out, use a pair of needle-nose pliers to grip the exposed portion and finish removing it. You want to be sure you don't accidentally knock it back into the lock.

SUMMARY: Flush the lock with a spray lubricant. Align the cylinder. Insert the broken handle portion of the key as a guide. Select your extractor tool. Slide the extractor tool or tools into the lock. Twist the extractor tool and pull.

Make sure it works every day of the week so you can stay on a consistent schedule. After a while, your body will start to respond to the new schedule. It may be hard at first, especially if you have a hard time getting to sleep or staying asleep. Try to push through so you can get on a schedule. The more tired you are, the more likely you are to be able to fall asleep. This is true for the weekends as well. Even though you may be tempted to get up later on the weekends, try to avoid sleeping more than one hour past your daily wake up time. In order to help you sleep better, try making a nightly routine that you go through every night. Like your sleep schedule, your nightly routine help you get in the habit of sleeping at certain times. Your nightly routine can also help ease your worries and calm your mind before you get to bed. Try incorporating relaxing activities into your nightly routine. Taking a warm bath, reading a book, listening to comforting music, or having a cup of decaffeinated tea or warm milk can all be part of your routine. You can mix your nightly routine up a little if, for example, you don't need to take a bath each night or you don't want any milk. Try to keep some similar activities, however, so your body starts to associate the actions with sleep. If you are having a hard time falling asleep at night, you need to allow yourself to unwind at the end of the day. This can be for a few hours before you go to bed, but give yourself plenty of time before you try to go to sleep to decompress. This is especially important if you suffer from depression because you often have much more going on emotionally than most people. This is a great time to focus on things that make you happy or to let go of the things that make you worry or depressed. This is different than your nightly routine as well, since that typically leads up to you going to bed. Your unwind time is meant to just be time for you to enjoy yourself and focus on relaxation with no intention in mind other than your happiness and well-being. This time helps you get in the right head space to help you fall asleep. Try relaxing activities such as meditation or watching your favorite TV show. There are many different herbs that may help you sleep. These herbs, such as chamomile, valerian root, lemon balm, or passionflower, can be found as dried herbs that can be made into teas, as essential oils, and as supplements. Always ask your doctor before you take herbs. This is especially true if you are one medication for depression, since many herbs can interact with medications.

SUMMARY:
Create a sleep schedule. Plan a nightly routine. Allow time to unwind. Use herbs to help you sleep.
