Closing my eyes usually helps quite a bit. And jet lag, usually does the job good.
But seriously, an exhausting day hiking or canoeing or whatever will make it seem like you fall asleep before your head hits the pillow as you curl up in your sleeping bag.

Nothing I've had insomnia since I was 6 or 7 can't really remember tried a lot of things like that time I tried counting sheep I got to 10,000 and I realized it just estimulated me and filled me with energy so I went out running to the park which although was tiresome just made me want to run more in the end I went to sleep after 10 AM cause I didn't manage to sleep even though had been trying since 8 AM. By the way I like this forum I could find a way to sleep better here.
I tend to have my mind run wild when i sleep, so i generally wait until im dead tired to go to sleep so i wont think of as many things. I generally focus on what i last did, like say playing Modern Warfare2, or Mass Effect 2, and i generaly have dreams about those things 
Haha. Well geez, you don't have to make it sound gay. I jest, I jest.Jaranja said:
I forgot to add, there are some choice musical scores from Ingrid Michaelson that really knock me out.
It's actually a lot more benign than a drug. More of a dietary supplement, really. Takes a few hours to kick in, but usually results in deeper sleep evidenced by a higher prevalence of vivid dreams.
I'm lucky. I've trained myself to go to sleep whenever I need to. I'm a shift worker you see, and this skill helps me a lot. And a nice cup of chamomile tea helps too.
Right, 4:30 in the afternoon, time for me to go to bed. Got to be up at 1am. Goodnight all!

I will admit I used to do the same with Robert Schimmel. Mind you, this was before iPods had screens.Jon Etheridge said:I usually listen to a George Carlin album on my iPod.
OT: Usually just lying in bed with my boyfriend helps. I feel almost at peace in such a situation.
Is it just me, or is there no better feeling than having another person in the bed with you. I mean, even on the odd ocassion where my dog decides to join me, I'll feel more at peace.Suiseiseki IRL said:I will admit I used to do the same with Robert Schimmel.

Generally darkness helps me fall asleep, but I specifically fall asleep to music. My mother was a musician in a symphony orchestra in Toronto, so she brought me to her practices late at night, which had me falling asleep to a whole orchestra going full out. People say that I still fall asleep humming BachThe Candyman said:
