Something boring. engaging the mind by doing interesting stuff on the internet or watching tv will just keep you awake. read a book or listen to calming music or something like that.

You have to find ways to calm your mind. Making money online can be a exciting feeling and have your mind racing. You can take a long hot bath
before you go to bed, but whatever you do you have to clear your mind. You can imagine a chalk board with all the things on your mind on the chalk
board, then imagine yourself taking the eraser and slowly erasing each thing on the chalk board until the whole chalk board is completely erased.
Then by that point you should have everything off of your mind and ready to sleep.

Keeping this topic "PG", my advice is a hot bath and some camomille tea.

I too have trouble falling asleep sometimes, I have found that what puts me to sleep quicker than anything is reading or watching tv. I don't know why but as soon as I put a movie on or pick up a book no matter how interesting it is I will be asleep in no time. Hope these things help, good luck.

Best way to unwind is cuddle up next to someone you care about and try to remember all the good times you and said cuddler have had..... it doesn't have to be a partner it can be any loved one that you are blessed to have in your life!!! think positive thoughts and sooner rather than later you will be in a sweet slumber! Watch out for the drool though! (favorite inside dog will work)

*bleep*.

No, seriously.  Orgasms release chemicals in your body that act as a tranquilizer.

I think we were trying to be pg??? but truth is that suggestion is dead on it will release endorphins into your body and make your body want to rest!

A friend of mine, during stress filled grad school, would down some benedryl with a shot of vodka. I wouldn't recommend that, though...

The best way I found was to lie still on the bed with my eyes closed. Then starting with my feet and moving ssslllooowwwlllyyy up my body to my head, I relax all of my muscles. Not only does this exercise relax your muscles, but it also relaxes your mind.

Can't sleep? Why are you staring at a bright interactive screen then? Heheh

Suggestions that work for me--
Write things down you need to do tomorrow or over the week.
Read anything.
If you have a tired dog or cat, pet it for a bit.
Milk.

I feel for you.  I am a chronic insomniac.  I developed insomnia in 1975 and have not had one normal sleep since.   I have learned to live with and manage my insomnia.  But I had to make a lot of lifestyle changes and give up a lot.  keep in mind that you will eventually fall asleep.  I find that "playing" on line relaxes me.  If your sleep problem persists, you need to see a doctor.  Pills can help short term.  Sometimes, counseling is necessary.  I learned how to hypnotize myself.   Meditation can help.  You need to do whatever relaxes you and keep away from whatever excites or stresses you.  Good Luck.

I agree with the others to read a book --- better yet, a really boring book that will guarantee to put you to sleep. I DON'T recommend popping sleeping pills.  :)

I read that if the room that you sleep in is dark and a little cold then you supposedly should fall asleep pretty fast, seems to work for me.
