I use things like music or just mentally tiring myself out. I have this problem and I got a 3DS. When laying in bed I play a very slow and tedious game and eventually it tires me out and I go to sleep. What I also do is read stories or even make up my own stories, anything really to get me to sleep. I'm ADHD and that is my main sleep problem. I refuse to take meds to sleep, I can sleep just fine. Hope this helps :D

I know when I cant sleep I'll go for a walk or something. I find that I sleep better if I excercize. I have a lot of trouble sleeping too though. I think its anxiety a lot of the time.

Yeah I guess so. Hey did you need my PayPal?

i do, yeah

I'm sorry to hear you can't sleep. I usally take a warm shower, try that maybe?

My recommendation would be to establish a pre-bed routine. Time for your body to wind down as well as your mind. First, get away from screens. Blue light from computers and electronics affects how well you fall asleep. Do something to focus your mind too--not to the point where you're thinking about something all night, but a way to break you away from the rest of the day. Read a chapter or two of a book.

Don't oversleep. Oversleeping only makes you more tired.

I'm an active thinker, so I can't go to bed without doing something that's engaging and limited to the short-term. I actually play a game of league of legends before bed because it's intellectually stimulated and when the game is over, there's nothing to take to bed. The game requires me to be focused on it, so I can forget everything else from the day.

Then I take some time to read unless I'm tired enough to just fall right asleep. In that sense, I'm guilty of not following my own advice, but I do sleep better when I get away from the tech stuff.

Oh, and if you use your phone as an alarm like I do, silence it and even go as far as disabling the data. The notification sounds as well as the flashes of light affect how well you sleep.
