I have a lot of trouble sleeping too. I could fall asleep in the blink of an eye when I know I shouldn't, like when I have to study or something, but when I get into my bed with the lights off I just toss and turn.
Try watching c-span

You need to enjoy falling asleep.
Don't goto bed expecting to fall asleep just goto relax and think about things that arn't stessful.
Do you work and get tired?

I make up a story where I'm the main character, then let my imagination carry it away until it turns into a dream.
Works for me.

i have a pretty average day. I do not work but i go to school and i am somewhat active during the day.
I think that my bad sleeping habits induces stress which in turn stops me from sleeping

I lay down and close my eyes when I am tired Sleeping meds will just make it worse for you, stop taking them. If you need help falling asleep, take some valerian root 1 hour before bed Dont drink alcohol or caffeine or eat a bunch of food or do any really exciting activities right before bed. Meditate. Relax

Dan, give Melatonin a try...it's over-the-counter, get it at any Duane Reade, take 2 before going to bed (make sure you have enough time to sleep for 6-8 hours, or else you'll wake up with a melatonin hangover, which is just a confusing feeling). They do the trick great, and give you crazy dreams.
OR just take Tylenol PM.

i have tried melotonin. Although it didnt help me fall asleep, it seemed to put me in a deeper sleep when i took them. I took that with valarian root and i had the craziest dreams ever! The dreams seemed way more drawn out and realistic than they ever had before taking melatonin and valarian.Instead of a dream feeling like 20 minutes, it felt like i was dreaming for hours. Not only that but i was able to lucid dream a more often. i think i will take some tonight and see how it goes

If you just want straight-up sleep though, definitely take Tylenol PM. 2 will knock you out nicely.

How many and how often do you guys smoke pot?
Its probably withdrawl If I go the whole day without smoking pot it takes me a good 1 1\2 hour minimum to get to sleep,, and I always toss and turn.
right now im sucha chronic I need pot at least 3 hours before bedtime... unless its a weekend and I stay up and get tired as fuck

i have been having a problem with insomnia for years now. I have tried every OTC drug and although i get drowsy, i still cant fall asleep. The only drug that works is prescription Ambien but i can barely get a prescrip for it because my normal doctor does not like that its a Controlled Dangerous Substance. For some reason weed does not get me tired at all. If im high when i try to fall asleep, it makes it even tougher.. whenever i tell that to someone they think im crazy because weed usually does the opposite for people.
