I would say "couting sheep would help" but that is so old-school lol. I always try to read a book, that seems to help my eyes get heavy so I can fall sleep. I think you said you work nights, so one thing you could that I do for my hubby (who also works nights) is put up cardboard or a blanket over your windows to make the room dark. This helped him out tremendously. He also uses Advil PM from time to time. Hope this helps.

I've never suffered from insomnia...that's gotta be rough. I would suggest that maybe you visit a doctor who might give you medicine to help you sleep. Good luck.

Try reading a book. Another important thing to note is to not go to bed until you are ready to sleep. wait until you are tired
