Booze and drugs are not the way to go! If you need help falling asleep, go to wal-mart and pick up some melatonin. It is cheap, and it is the agent in your body that naturally 'turns off' your thoughts and lets you get to sleep.
So if you stay up tossing and turning because you can't shut your mind off, try this stuff. Safe, legal, cheap, natural. Worked for several of my friends who have been insomniacs for years.
Best of luck! I never have problems falling asleep, it's the getting out of bed in the morning when I'm soooo comfy part

??? Melatonin is a drug. If you wanna go all natural on it, try waking up earlier in the morning and exercising during the day

Melatonin is great! I forgot my bottle at home, and my sleep has reflected up that.

That's my problem. I can't turn my mind off ... and I just stay awake thinking.

Don't get carried away! I'd recommend buying a bottle of melatonin (pretty cheap, and yes, naturally part of your body!) and once you're done with the bottle, or after a month, stop using it. Don't think it's a wonder drug and keep using it forever! Just to help you get your balances in check, and then you can be a happy drug-free person 
I also wouldn't take a bunch of psychoactives of any kind and then expect to sleep until your body is good and ready, no matter how much melatonin you take!
Sweet dreams all you people out there

I don't see how you all hate lying there thinking... That is definately my favorite time of the day, when I get to lie down, relax and kind of reflect on everything that happened that day. It really helps in clearing my head.
Once my mind is done is when I nod off to sleep, comfortably at peace with any demons I might have had that day.

Relaxing is good, but its distracting when you actually want to fall asleep

Try a few days of it, with responsibilities like work and school and see how well you reflect.

Melatonin's never worked for me. Benadryl or pot, at's the ticket. Not that I often have troubles sleeping....

yes it has
asking politely for sex shouldnt get you slapped in the face from a gf/spouse. but in the past we have discussed such things and well it does work.

Think about taking this medication if you are a insomniac. It helped me. I would go days without sleeping. Now I sleep on a regular basis with no problem.

heh... I never saw that, anyone that knows me well would admit that that describes me pretty damn well and marijuana and mushrooms have completely changed my life, I was 'against' drugs until I came home from my first year at college (a sorta tough private one).. and as of now I've kinda started a mushroom movement in my area... ::cough:: ... i'm sorta drunk and near the end of celebrating my 22nd birthday.. When I was in like 6- 12 th grade in hs i would go to bed at like 10 pm.. and lay there until like 4 am because my mind just raced at light speed.. it was rediculous, I will admit that getting fairly stoned in the evening does help this and as I cut back I find that sometimes I don't sleep quite as well... but thats the cost of makeing a 'healthy' decision... right? well I'm fairly stoned and a little drunk and I have to be at work in a little more than 6 hours so I gotta go to bed.. gnight
