    I often get more alert when listening to music and start paying attention to it.

    Knew someone who could only sleep with the tv on. This resulted in a Law and Order marathon and me having some seriously fúcked up dreams. :pac:

    Same here. Just ask Nerin!! But oh the lolz.

    When you sleep, your body temperature drops, so Try having a cool shower if you cant sleep. Dont have the heating on either, esp if your bed's next to a rad.

    Counting sheep is actually counter productive to sleeping, because you're keeping your mind active.

    Start going to sleep at the same time each night. It helps you're body tell itself when its time for bed.

    Don't do stimulating exercise(we won't include sex in this, coz of the melatonin released, and falling asleep with someone else in the bed helps alot)Exercise gets the heart pumping more, increasing blood flow to your brain and body, upping your body temp and brain activity.

    1. Make sure you are completely comfortable. No noises, no lights, clean bedsheets.
    2. Breath in.
    3. When exhaling tell yourself to relax all the muscles in your body.
    4. Go to step 2.

    I've been working nights for four years and this is the best solution I've found.

    I think as soon as you think about sleep, youv effectively destroyed any chance of actually sleeping!

    Its a completely natural process! stop viewing this thread, we are all going to think to hard about it!!:eek:

    or try relaxing from the toes and up over a short while

    don't go for a walk , read or go on the interweb as that'll just get your brain to wake up again
