I lay down at 9 or 10 pm, but I toss and turn until 1 or 2 am. I don't eat a big meal before bed, I don't have the TV/lights/music on, everything is quiet. I won't drink milk (ew). I think my mind just doesn't want to shut off. How can I "calm" myself down? It's very frustrating :/

I have the same problem as you and i tend to try and read for about half and hour whilst i am sitting in my bed. It tends to relax me no end. Try not to read something that may stimulate your mind, or keep any thoughts in your head such as a thriller/horror. You may be causing more problems if you do that! If not then you could always try something like "kalms" that calm you before sleep. I have also tried "Valarian hops". It is a vitamin tablets that has a very good calming effect. It tastes disgusting but IT WORKS!
Good luck, i do sympathize.
