Can't sleep, wish I knew a trick for it.
It's so weird that the simplest of biological functions, just falling asleep, is so often one of the most difficult. I guess there's not always an impetus to sleep, a push, it's not something we're necessarily driven to do (unless you're super tired, which apparently I am not.)
Lay still and wait. And wait. And wait some more. Then get up, post to OffTopic, have a smoke, then try again.
I envy people who can just fall asleep, take naps, stuff like that, I never got the hang of it.
(Also don't smoke, it's bad for you.)

You just need something to kick you into a good routine for a week and your body should naturally get tired after that. I used to work nights quite a lot and what always helped was some brandy. Not a lot, maybe a couple of shots worth, just for the first few nights to get my body into the new sleep cycle. Trying to get a good number of hours sleep at 8am on a summer’s morning is not very easy. Obviously alcohol doesn’t give you a good night’s sleep generally and if you do it too much you’re at risk then of needing the alcohol to feel sleepy but like I said it’s about getting you asleep for a few nights so your body expects to go to sleep at that time. Anything will do, that’s why lots of people read in bed.
