easy, :) Turn on your computer and login to mylot. discuss a topic until you get too tired. You will get more earnings btw. ;) good luck to you ethlene_c2h6

That happens to me most of my nights. Normally I stayed up late but sometimes I get early classes so I have to force myself to get some sleep so what I do is read a novel or listen to music. Sometimes I watched movies.

it's true, milk supposedly helps you fall asleep. when i can't sleep, i just go to bed anyway. i lay there for about two hours if i can't fall asleep, but i do fall asleep eventually. it's a good effort, if you ask me. at least if you're laying in bed, you're attempting to rest rather than let's say stay up on the computer. if you can't sleep, don't do something that requires more brain activity, you're only keeping yourself more awake by doing that. so if you can't sleep, try to at least put your body at rest.

watch tv or listen to music -- mellow music ;) then close your eyes and just listen to it till you fall asleep.. or read a book and yeah go online!

I try to read a book or a magazine to get my eyes tired and be bored enough so as to get some sleep.

I like to go to bed with the radio on, and listen to the BBC World Service at night. I usually fall asleep after having listened to that for a while, and just wake up the next morning whenever I feel like waking up. If I have trouble sleeping, I lie there and listen to the world news or BBC Documentaries.

My cousin had a hard time of sleeping before. I introduced him a holosync music. He tried it and made him relaxed. Try to listen soothing music too.

when i cant sleep, i read a boring book till my eyes get sore. then i sleep. orrr, i daydream til i fall asleep. :)

i have same problem like you.i cannot sleep if i want a time to sleep.I waste my time on bed 3-4 hours just try to sleep.But now i can enjoy my sleep,before i sleep i read a book ,or watch television that make my eye tired and i can sleep. But that just my way,in your case probably read or watch tv can not work.but don't consumed a medicine that make you sleep ,its not good for your health.
