I don't force myself. I take a couple of aspirin sometimes, drink a warm drink (tea, herbal tea). Make sure the room is a comfortable temperature (open a window), put on/take off blankets, pull down the shades so the room is darker.  Sometimes taking a nice hot bath helps.

If all else fails, there's always Tylenol PM.

The rockets red glare, my toes curling in air, usually does it for me.

Get in the habit of only getting five to six hours of sleep a night and you'll sleep just fine.

Have one bonna at night with one glass of milk and a little honey will make you very Com.

no need to count sheep in my bedroom I am up between 6 and 6.30 am so I am quite tired by 10pm and I drop off real quickly when I have job I do find it harder to sleep as I do worry about wether the job is panning out ok and then I take a Melatonin just one and I think its 3grams you can get it of the internet its a natural hormone

I count one two, one two repeatedly in my heart.  Don't count the number of sheep.  Because when you are counting a number, say 1564, you have to think of the next number, 1565.  When you brain is working actively, you can hardly get into sleep. 

If I still cannot sleep, I wake up my wife to sing me a lullaby.  Her voice is sexy when she is half awake.
