I've often heard that "counting sheep" is supposed to help people fall asleep, but I was wondering if that was true.

Yes. It's hypnosis for dummies and it works. Calm your head, get rid of outside thoughts to the biggest degree possible, picture the fence, and count sheep jumping over it. Do it calmly, with a steady, relaxing rhythem. Eventually you will be able to think about nothing but the sheep, and you'll fade off into sleep.

Nothing works for me, I either fall asleep easily or am up all night.
I might try counting the number of posts Xango Hill has made that break site rules, because of having links in them designed to make her money, though.
Doubt even I can stay awake that long.

It's a way of refocusing you mind away from whatever may be running through your mind and keeping you from falling asleep. I don't count sheep. Instead I try to imagine myself relaxing on the beach, eyes closed, listing to the waves and water and wind.

No, it gets me aroused. I just wonder where these sheep are. Everyone is counting them, but I never see them. Do I need to add "The Sheep Channel" to my cable TV?

Earls are English. they have counts in France, and also i imagine in Italy. we do not have them right here. yet for some reason the spouse of an earl is termed a Countess, that is very puzzling. i do not understand why she isn't an Earless.

What ever will make you relax is good. I notice when I think of happy things that happen in my life I tend to fall asleep fast. Do what ever works for you try different things you will find one that works...

counting will actually keep you a wake longer, reading is suppose to help tier you eyes and in turn make it easier to sleep. the thing i find helps is meditation
