have you ever tried that?i must admit i tried it when i was little,but by the contrary,i was so concentrated on picturing the sheep jumping over a damn bridge or something and not to mention counting them too,that i fell sleep in the morning..:)

I tried it once but it's too much like math and not as tiring as it is annoying.
I just use breathing excersises or read until I feel sleepy enough to doze off.

I know what you mean..about the reading to fall asleep too! One thing I tried that works is to add up really huge numbers like 985485 + 784821. Doze off in a jiffy cos I hate Math!!
Also repeating a prayer relaxes you and sends you to sleep in as peaceful a state as you wanna get!

i have to relax my brain,and not to stress it even more with maths hehe..if i totally relax and think about something sweet,or somebody that brings peace in my soul,then i fell asleep like a baby;)

Lol i tried that too and it never worked for me, i found that reading a good book would help, i'd b determinded to try and keep my eyes open just 2 read a few more lines but then my eyes would get soooo heavy so i just let them go n fall asleep. xx

noo,if i read a book it will keep me awake untill i finish it and i am not joking..i am a quick reader..it usually takes me a day or 2 to finish a book,because when i start reading i don't put it down till i finished or when i really really have to..:P

lol! I tried it once, when I was downright desperate. It doesn't work at all! I had the same experience as you. I find that the best thing to do is make up a story or something. I usually become a part of the story, and end it with everyone going to sleep. And then I do. XD Don't ask, I'm weird, but it works for me. I also need to hug this big pillow that I have.
