If I have problems sleeping (rarely), it's usually because I haven't had enough physical exercise and my mind is still awake. Getting to sleep is a matter of making the body's tiredness override the mind's propensity to think about things at all times.

Try getting up and doing a bunch of activities. Pushups, situps, a walk, weights, whatever. Do it for about 20 minutes, give yourself a few minutes to cool down and let your heart rate drop, then go to bed. Always works for me.

I'm up still because I'm not done my portion for an exam preparation study group I have tomorrow, uh today. A few more case summaries and off to bed I go. It's only 1:30 here, so I'll get my 6 hours of nap time.

...beat me to it! Do you find you lie down and you have all this stuff running through your head?. It makes it very hard to get to sleep. Often reading works for. Just a few pages and my eyes get tired. Other times I have to consciously tell me mind to shut up. It's hard but try to think of just one thing, like the number 2 and force all the other thoughts away. Try it.

Either hit yourself in the head with a sledgehammer, or smoke a bigass joint. That'll make you want to close your eyes.

I heard that goin to shower before bed and/or drinking tea usually helps too. You should try it.

I took a long hot bath before going, and was falling asleep in the tub. so I got out and went to bed, and the moment my head hit the pillow, I ws wide awake.
my husband suggested since the doctors tell him to take up to 4 of his pills, I should take another dose....will not do that again, I fell really wierd tihs morning.

I'd suggest not taking pills, becuase they can damage your stomach if you take them too much or too often. Try drinking tea then.
If everything else fails, go and count sheeps.

I would only add that it should be herbal tea since regular tea does have caffine also; although it is different and good for you!
