    I find the sound of a running shower or steady rain very relaxing so I usually play an audio of that type of sound when I can't sleep. Aside from being relaxing, it also serves as a white noise to block most other noises out... which I think also helps. That's just me though.

    Try closing your eyes for 10mins without thinking so much and drink something before you do it

    You have to make a conscious effort to feel your muscles from your head to your toes relax. Be aware of your body and you wanting it to relax, that usually starts making you a bit more tired. I also used to listen to like these sleep hypnosis vids on youtube, but those may not work for everyone :D

    Usually when I can't fall sleep I find the cool side of the pillow to put my head down on, weird but it usually works. The colder side of the pillow distracts me from my own thoughts and makes me concentrate on the awareness of the feeling

    I like to listen to songs that I enjoy while I sit in bed. Then, after about 2 songs, I go to bed. It works for me because I don't get excited about the songs.

  10. I just stay awake and make my time useful until I feel sleepy, if I can't sleep rather than try to force myself to sleep.

    I just listen to music if I can't sleep or even if I can. I also love the sound of a fan or something like that. If the room is cold and I have a big blanket its also easier.
     
  15. I think seasons can play a huge role in your sleep cycle.

    In the winter, I think it's easy to sleep. You just keep your room cold, so then you're forced to wrap yourself in a blanket, but then it's hard to get up because you just want to stay in bed. In the summer, it's harder to sleep, because you're just sweating at night; so when it's summer time, I sometimes just turn on the ceiling fan.
