    Sleeping pills work but I don't like to rely on them. I was really tired, then my housemate came home with her bf and turned on all the lights and started cooking etc and now I'm laying in bed wide awake! :(

    That's no good for you. I've found that reading before bed helps me fall asleep.

    I'll be up a while, then I'll read to make myself sleepy.

    Try to focus on your breathing. Push everything else out of your mind and just focus on your breathing. That usually works for me.

    Sprite + ZQuil = purp drank!!!

    Seriously, this knocks my *kitten* out fast. I always go a tad over the dosage cup they give you though.

    I spend 1 - 3 nights per week totally unable to sleep. It's been that way for my whole life. The one upside is that the extra time allows me to pursue creative interests like writing.

    I sleep best on days I busted my tail working out. Throw in some ploys during commercial breaks. I love using my Polar to track my sleeping patterns. First thing I do when I wake up is synch my watch with the Flow app to see how much or how little sleep I got. Once or twice a year though, I can't fall asleep for anything. It's weird.

    I use Macks Ear Seals Ear Plugs

    If they don't block out your housemate, she's too noisy.
