Hi, I will read some magazines or interested books, if I can't get sleep immediately in the night. what about you?
I listen to my iPod till I do fall asleep, usually with the iPod still on, but it's battery lasts several hours so It's ok.
I browse DP until I can't read anymore, then hit the sac. Sometimes I watch a movie, that puts me right to sleep also.
Don't count sheep. That is too simple & boring for your brain. Think about something more complex and try to see all the details - ie walking down a busy steeet and take in all the minutia. If that doesn't work I try Kaluha & milk.
When i struggle to get to sleep i either get up and do an hours worth of work, or more often then not ill get my ipod and listen to music as i fall asleep. it normally works well.
reading :magazines, books, newspaper somthing interesting, and hot milk it makes you sleep like a baby
I have a movie on in the background. I usually wait until I'm really tired before I go to bed though.
