    Sex, lots of sex. That's why I'm still up at 3:20am...

    I take the herbal capsule; L-Theanine with Green Tea Extract. Works wonders, with NO side effects.

    Good Luck.

    Believe it or not, I sometimes have trouble sleeping. Try lowering the lights in your home about an hour before you retire; this sends a message to your brain to start winding down. A hot bath may help, or anything you find relaxing and calming. This may or may not include sex- if you find it relaxing, give it a go. Put on fuzzy socks- research suggests warm feet make us sleep better.

    I could go on, as I have about a million sleep-inducing tricks. But ultimately, your body and brain are in charge, and they won't always cooperate. When this happens, and sleep just won't come, try not to stress. Don'y lie there trying to fall asleep, as this only makes the situation worse. Relax, find something soothing to occupy yourself with, and when you're good and ready, you'll snooze.

    Some time 2 beers works, Sometimes a 6 pack works. Sometime 2 six packs are necesarry.

    I just finished working 16 hours and I just finished 3 ice houses and I am about finished.

    Good night.

    I use melatonin (3 mg), it works and it's very affordable. It simply replaces the melatonin that our bodies make less of as we get older. You will not feel drugged the next day. I have a lumbar disk herniation and sleep is almost impossible at times without it.

    It's also very powerful antioxidant.

    All good suggestions, especially the one about lowering the lights. Definately keeping the feet warm for me. If I'm cold, I can't sleep. A nice soak in the hot tub works wonders for me. I always have on hand an herbal supplement by Swiss - Herbal SleepWell. Don't watch TV or read in bed, use it just for sleeping (well, not just for sleeping ). Don't exercise atleast 2 hours before bed. Try to keep to a regular routine. Go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time.

    Hope this helps.
