Its best not to lie in bed trying to get to sleep cause if you're trying too hard it ain't gonna happen.
First of all turn the computer off! I certainly can't sleep for an hour or so after I've been on the computer.
Do something relaxing for a while - read, maybe listen to some (slow) music, maybe watch something boring on the television.
When you feel ready to go to bed, try the following relaxation exercise.
Breath slowly, listening to your heartbeat. Breath in count 10 seconds, breate out 10 seconds. Keep doing this. Then, very slowly tense the muscles in your feet, hold for 10 seconds, then relax. Then tense the muscles in your lower leg for 10 seconds, then relax. Then your thigh, then your abdomen, then your chest then your arms do the same with each muscle group until you feel totally relaxed.
When you wake up tommorow buy yourself a book on relaxation exercises, for the future!
Hope this helps,

maybe youre super excited about something i mean christmas is comming up, but try drinking milk or eating turkey. I know it sounds silly but they have triptofan in them and it makes you sleepy.
hope you feel better
Are you forcing yourself to sleep? If so that's your problem. Do some exercises that will exhaust you. Occasionally the body does need some help and the solution is Vervain tea.. it's a tea to help you relax not a sleeping aid! Although for some people it knocks them out!
Stop thinking and focus on sleepie!!
try some hot chocolate .. maybe some relaxing tea?
Have you tried 'taking care of yourself'? (if you know what I mean)
I almost always can get to sleep after a good 'taking care of myself' session.
you probably thinking to much. have you tried to put a radio on an a.m channel. put it on, dont focus on anything but the distorion and that should help you out.
hmm... maybe your not exhausted yet, so excercise or something during the day and don't eat before going to bed, normally i have trouble going 2 bed too, but if i've had a busy day it normally easier to go to bed.
Turn off the computer, lay down and shut your eyes!
You can try reading a chaper or two until you feel tired.
or listening to some music. Music helps me sleep.
It might work for you.
Insomnia can be a symptom of physical disorders, although for most of us it's the result of tension, stress and anxiety
