I know I've posted this with the suggestion that is a philosphical question. I've only done that because I know the thinkers hang out here and will have their brains in gear. If you must give me an answer which will curdle my over-tired brain, then feel free to do so....

Few more things for you to think over if u would like to ..
"Of the syllables, I am the syllable a, and dvandva among the compounds; I am also time eternal; I am the supporter with faces everywhere."
__ Lord Krisha
Just as one wishing to pick up the stars will have to tie up the sky in one's bag or if one wishes to count the atoms of the earth, One must hold the globe in one's armpit, so one must know me in order to perceive my expance.
Just as a person wishing to gather in a bundle the branches, flowers and fruits, has to uproot the tree, one must understand my flawless nature in order to know all my special manifestations. Otherwise, O Arjuna, how long would you hear about my different manifestations? Therefore, try to understand that I am also, O Arjuna, the origin, the middle and the end of all this created world. Just as the thread fills the warp and woof of cloth, know that I pervade this whole universe. Once you know this, then you will not find it necessary to understand all my manifestations. This however, to understand all my manifestations. This however, is still beyond your capacity, and so leave it alone.
Since you have asked me about the manifestations, O Arjuna, listen to me I am the knowledge of the self which I have told you, among all lores. I am the debate among those who love to argue. This debate never comes to an end, as the shastras do nor reach a consensus. but the debate increases with the presentation of their doctrines, resulting in forceful arguments and giving greater scope to eloquent orations, I am that debate in which the disputants try to establish their own doctrines, so said shri Gobinds. I am clearly the letter a among the alphabets, and know that I am the copulative compound among the compounds. I am also the Time (Kala) who devours all from the mosquito to god Brahma.
I am that unlimited time, who at the time of dissolution destroys the whole world along with the mountain Including meru, who absorbs then and there the waters inundating the world, who clasps the fire to his bosom, devours the wind and also contains the akasha within his belly, so said the husband of goddess Lakshmi. He further added, "I am also the creator of this world at the beginning of the cycle."
__ From Bhagavad Gita ( Jnaneswari )

Go do something else instead of sleeping. Watch TV but not in bed. Read a book, but not in bed. Do laundry. Or something else.
Then later go back and try to fall asleep.
The best thing is to get your mind off of the fact that you can't sleep. Do something mundane that doesn't require much thought. And then when you go back to bed, you have a chance to start over. Usually you fall asleep in the first 10 minutes. If you miss that window, then you're screwed.
Then get up again and do something else for a while and go back and try again.

Go to bed. Breathe systematically like is you already are asleep.
Close your eyes and look at the dark become black then imagine the picture of a perfect white square coming slowly towards you. When it reaches you, you are asleep. The next morning you wont'remember how that happened. Try it again. Goodnight.

Honey, your mind is probably too 'active' right now...though your body is tired, your mind refuses to relax, it has 'thought' a lot of productive things during the day...researched a lot (at Y! Answers) and as a result, it's with a conflict with your body...
But there's a solution for everything...as my other friends on this page have rightly mentioned, juss sip up a glass of warm milk...soak your feet in warm water...maybe a warm shower would also help....(Dont count sheep pls)...collect all your soft toys and you're sure to go Zzzzz in no time...tell me if that worked...good nite =)

I'd advise reading, but even the boring books just get me thinking, so I guess I'd have to suggest exercise a couple of hours before sleep and then, if you can't resort to a little drink, then a sleeping pill of some sort.

Read a book with a glass of warm milk. Then when you feel about to doze off, set teh milk on the table so it doesnt spill.

I think i do have an answer. Just before you go to sleep, drink something warm. It will help you drift off.
