If I can't sleep, I don't usually try to fall asleep; it's a good opportunity to
do some random stuff, so I just do that. Browse around, play games, watch
anime/movie/tv shows... etc.
Hard but try this.
As hard as you can, TRY NOT TO THINK OF ANYHING WHILELYING ON THE BED!
That's what I do.
Unless you're not feeling well.
Or you could just , um, watching tv until you get bored.
Oh a sure fire way of falling asleep.
Try sudying/reading a boring book or lesson subject on your bed.
Trust me, it works LOL.
Sorry, just couldn't resist mentioning the latter.
Hehe, I actually have the opposite problem! For some reason, I need anywhere
between 10-14 hours of sleep to function the next day, and I still end up sleepy
after about 3-4 hours of staying awake! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!?
Listen to music, do a recap of the day, read a book or do some drawing. But the
art and reading part can be kinda dangerous, you get so immersed, you can't put
your pencil/book down.
I end up pacing like a caged animal mainly because I get thinking to much. The
cycle usually is toss n' turn, pace, toss n' turn, pace, surf the internet, more
pacing, etc. If that doesn't work then I just get up and stay up. I have yet to
find something that works for getting myself to sleep when this happens.
when i can´t sleep, i try to get out of my mind all worries i had
and remember songs and singing on my mind after a pair of songs....i'm dreaming
with catgirls yeah!...
Well... I think in the 'inmortality of the crab', or I use the time for cry and
clean my soul for all the damage that I have inside...
Then, when I find peace, sleep peacefully
stare into the darkness, and fight whatever it is that is keeping me up. Then
again, it is the dark where I feel the most tense, overcome with the sensation
of being watched.
In either event, I just grab something to drink, watch some TV, and/or just fall
back to sleep.
How i do it is i ALWAYS have my computer playing anime while I lie in bed, and
eventually I will get too tired to keep my eyes open. Then I toss and turn and
bam, asleep I go.
What's amusing is if I drink Red Bull or coffee, instantly it knocks me to
sleep.
wake up, go to the table, and draaaaaw lol............if that doesn't work,
stare/glare at the ceiling, i did that for 5 hours STRAIGHT until i fell asleep
lol
i usually look up at the sky. it's like i'm drowning in the vastness of the sea
of stars above my head. that feeling of losing hope is what gets me to sleep. i
know it doesn't make much sense and sounds stupid but that does it for me. thx
for reading (^_^)
i just stay in bed and daydream.. after awhile i'd fall asleep... there are
those who drink warm milk before going to bed. they say that it helps you sleep.
it doesn't work for me but it does for others.
If I don't have to get up early the next day I will keep doing stuff till I
almost pass out. If I have school I will think of one of the fictions I'm trying
to write. However, after watching certain anime it becomes hard to sleep.
I get up and surf or watch anime.

I read a text book on a subject I hate or find boring. Puts me to sleep real fast.
Well now that I don't have a DS to help me go sleep anymore.. What I do to try and make myself fall asleep is..
Read a web comic (ex: Real Life Comics, VG Cats, Tsunami Channel,) Read mangas online, Play a web browser game, Myspace, work out til I'm exhausted :]
If you can't sleep, just turn the fan in front of your face at maximum speed.
Let's see if your eyes become sleepy. 
I've tried this once!
haha omg, doesn't this burn your eyes out?
your
poor tear ducts! 
i'd think till my brain wouldn't handle staying awake
and an
alternative would be getting up and reading or drawing

I read my chemistry/biology textbooks. Guaranteed to make anyone sleep. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE READING EQUILIBRIUM. GAWD.
