Well, das is around at the moment...

it doesn't work for me because i have chronic insomnia but it does relax me and puts others to sleep

try hot bath/shower
chamomile tea
white noise

For years reading Moby Dick always put me to sleep by the 3rd chapter.

Warm milk.

Take a warm bath/shower, then afterward, as you lay in bed, take off your socks. (This works for me; dunno why.)

Well *I* like his haircut... :scared:

(usually, lying in the dark and listening to music does it for me -- NIN "The Fragile", Moby "Play", and Jason Mraz "Mr. A to Z" have always worked best.)

...strangely enough i have already tried the NIN route; didn;t work this time.
as for the hair cut...aah..think i'll have to pass on that one as i don't see how that can actually CALM me at the moment.

milk though, think i'll go warm so up right now.

So much joy in life
So many pleasures all around
But the pleasure of insomnia's
The one I've never found
With all life has to offer
There's so much to be enjoyed
But the pleasure of insomnia's
The one I can't avoid

...

But, really, who needs sleep?

It's just your body's way of telling you that you're not done yet for the day.

Read, write, draw, work... what didn't you finish today? What did you forget?

In 2006 I lived across a highway and all night long I'd hear the passing of cars and car horns. Because of that I started to go to sleep listening to music... I dunno how you guys can go to sleep listening to NiN... but the music usually kept me up longer. Then I started listening to comedy albums while sleeping. This worked much better. I think someone just talking made it easier to sleep than music. I often would hook up to a shoutcast radio station and just leave it on all night while I slept with headphones on.

NOTE : I have broken several pairs of headphones over the years because I toss and turn a lot in my sleep but I think it's not that much of a price to pay for a good night's sleep.

I used to live in an apartment a block from a nightclub that was open til 5 am. The throbbing dance beat was killer on weekends. It was louder in my apartment than outside because the vibration was picked up by the walls and windows and god knows what else. It kept me up a lot of the time. When it bugged me, I'd turn on my clothes dryer. The white noise of it running would block out the beat and give my consciousness nothing to hook on to, and I'd be asleep long before the dryer shut off buzz sounded.
