this may sound like dumb advise but its true.... drink some alcohol before you go to bed, like 2 drinks or so. ever notice how when you're really drunk the time between you laying in your bed (or anywhere for that matter) and falling asleep is so much shorter then it would have been normaly... there's a reason they call it a night-cap
this may also sound like a wives tail but its true too. when you warm up milk it releases a natural chemical that puts you to sleep, so a hot cup of choaco will ease you to sleep.

STRAIN your body physically, TRUST me you'll sleep. IF that doesn't work, add warm turkey meat and a glass of warm milk to the equation. If THAT doesn't work, I suggest to ask your best buddy to punch you out.

watch the same movie every night while you're trying to fall asleep. it works. once you start sleeping regularly again, you can switch-up your movie selections...
or just wack-off lol

Step 1: Headphones
Step 2: CD Player
Step 3: Chilled Euphoria CD (Mixed by Red Jerry or Solar Stone CD2)
Step 4: GOODNIGHT!
I sit in bed and just think the whole time too, but if u try out this method and get into the music u'll be out in no time.
just force yourself to wake up early one day and you'll be so tired at night you will just knock out. if all fails keep going to sleep later and later, eventually you'll reach going to sleep at night again.
