I usually establish sleep/wake cycle time, this will eventually help me feel sleepy at the same time each night. I make sure the bedroom is quite and dark. Avoid having a nap in the day as you will be less sleepy when it's time to go to bed. A light snack will help but a heavy meal will not. Always remember "a good day starts with a good night's sleep".

I usually just read. After about 30 minutes I start to get sleepy. If the book is truly boring it won't take that long. I never did get into counting sheep.

I don't really have a hard time sleeping. If I can't sleep, I just do some chores or chat until I feel sleepy. I am one of those people who falls asleep very easily.

Of course to answer numerous discussions my friends started and reply to comments on my discussions. If i still can't fall asleep, i'll listen to calming music like degungan bali, or some other classical music. If that doesn't work, i will watch a movie. Sometimes, i'll just to some workout at home.

wow, counting sheep? I wish i could count them. perhaps this tip might help you. if you couldn't sleep at night, it's obvious that you are not tired yet. So what you could do is to switch on your PC and connect to the internet. Of course, yes, im sure you know what i am trying to tip you by know. You can always spend some time with responses on mylot if you couldn't sleep well. Staring at the monitor for too long is quite tiring enough. So im sure sooner or later you will get too tired and without realizing it, you start snoring already. I've done that many time, i was too tired that i rather go straight to bed without turning off my PC. Well, you should try it. If you count sheep, possibilities are, you might count it as many as thousands without getting any beneficial factor from it. So, :) post till you drop.

I just get in my happy place and then start to day dream then I fall alseep. The whole sheep thing didn't work too well for me, it just made me count more and more sheep. I don't know but I just like math so the counting thing just kept me up more. So to fall alseep I just get in my happy place.

I usually just go to the net until I get tired. I usually don't sleep much anyway but I don't think I could count sheep. I just don't think there is anything I can do about it.
