well i don't recommend taking pills mostly because I'm not big on taking medicine if i don't really need it. You could try the whole counting backwards thing. Or work out during the day take a shower before bed drink warm milk and try to fall asleep. Or play soft soothing music that will make you fall asleep. or read a ridiculously boring book that could definitely put you to sleep.

I have the same problem. Try laying down and watching a movie with the lights off. If that don't work, try a glass of wine. If that don't work then you might want to tell your doctor and they can give you sleep aids like lunesta, sonata, or ambien.

try taking a hot shower before bedtime. If I still can't sleep, I take Advil to relax my muscles, then a sudafed to help me breathe better. Works like a charm for me, and I don't wake up groggy at all. Ambien also works good, but it's expensive unless you have good insurance... sweet dreams ;-)

When I'm having a hard time getting to sleep, I lay in bed on my back with my eyes shut , I put my arms straight down beside me. I then focus on my feet saying to myself ; my feet are relaxed. Then maybe 30 seconds later I will say to myself ; my calf's are relaxed. Usually I never make it to my knees because now I'm relaxed and ready to go to sleep. This works for me, it should work for you.

Get some Ambien. IT is the ONLY thing that works for me.

I would never take any sleep-aid except for Tylenol PM. Take Ambien if you want to become a Zombie.
