I've been dealing with insomnia all this week and I just can't seem to fall asleep. What do you all do when you can't sleep?

I either listen to music or watch a movie before I go to bed, that usually helps me go to sleep

I rely quite a bit on a prescription sleeping pill, and adult beverages...which is not really a good combo.

I play Left4Dead. It always puts me to sleep. :P Na, I seriously have to force myself to go to bed, and when I do I just lay there and daydream until I drift off to sleep.

I've tried laying in bed until I fall asleep but I would be laying there for hours thinking of weird stuff and freaking myself out. Makes it even harder to fall asleep lol.

Listen to an online radio or talk show. Usually the conversation bores me to sleep.

I just talk to friends, play video games, or just lay in my bed and think.

Play my DS or listen to music. I'll eventually start to doze off after a while. I need silence in order to fall asleep, so I wear ear plugs almost every night.

Read. Reading always makes me sleep.Avistann
This reading is the best way to get to sleep for me and many many others. Recently tho my room has come under attack from about 2000 insects so thats my current frustration.

Usually I just read, but in an emergency, cocoa with whisky, honey, cinnamon and cloves works fast.

Well I wouldn't say it's because I can't sleep, but I always listen to my iPod before I go to sleep... Radiohead is a good choice.

Reading usually works, also sometimes do pushups or some other physical activity for a short period of time.

Listen to some death-metal and start a one man moshpit in my room.

No seriously, I just put on some headphones and listen to podcasts. Smart Wrestling Fan is the one I listen to most.

Spray some lavender on your pillow, I have never tried it but a member of my family has and says it works. Or you could just take sleeping pills.

Same here. For relaxation purposes, i find Coldplay to be effective.

I also take 2 3mg tablets of melatonin. About a half hour later and im out.

Nothing really special but watching TV or reading while in bed seems to work for most people.

Nothing helps me until my body just finally gets tired. So I recommend doing a physical activity like run around the block if you are in a safe place.

When you think all these strange thoughts in your head, just go with them. It's part of falling asleep when your brain unwinds.
