Try exercising really hard, however, sometimes that hypes people up. You can take benadryl. That makes me sleepyy, but I am groggy for the next 24 hrs. The thing that works best for me is a tea called lavender lace, I get it @ a specialty tea shop. The grocery store have a decent one though from celestial seasonings, called sleepy time tea. Works pretty good.

You should always make sure that You have eaten something and have a full stomach. Nothing spicy, and limit caffeine at least 2 to 3 hours before going to bed. Make sure Your bedroom is quite and your bedding clean. Don't do anything that would get Your heart rate up like getting on line, and getting upset over something, or exercising.
Reading does help, unless You really enjoy reading. Make sure that you block everything out of Your mind, and control Your breathing, making it slow and steady. Breathe in through Your nose, and out Your mouth. Like gently smelling a flower, and lightly blowing out a candle.
I have heard of a saying that You can say to help release the day. I lovingly release the day, and drift into peaceful sleep, knowing that tomorrow will take care of itself. Then every time something pops into Your mind, like a problem, clear Your mind again.
Now I have been known to count sleep....yes really. I picture a tall fence. Then I picture a beautiful very large sheep walking up to the fence v-e-r-y slowly, pausing, and then slowly jumping up and over, that is number one. Make everything slow, and easy.
Something else that is very important is that if You take medication that can keep You awake, like sinus medication, take it early in the morning.
I wish You many peaceful nights full of lots of good rest. You should get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, and when we do not, we begin to acquire a sleep deficit. Please try these things before taking sleep medicine.
God Bless and best wishes......

Listen to chill out music while in bed.
I reccomend the album Chilled Euphoria vol.1 - works for me!

skip a days sleep the next night u'll be tired. Another method is to ask your grandfather to show you his slide collection on a retro projector. Make sure there is no sound playing just the drone of he and grandmas voice.

Learn self-hypnosis. It will totally relax you and you will fall asleep easily. Search the web for techniques.
