Do you have any weird habbits that help you sleep?
Very simple thing that I've used myself and my kids do it. Count your in and out breaths up to 10, then start again. So say (in your head) "inbreath, outbreath one; inbreath, outbreath two....etc".
Concentrating on doing that just stops you thinking about other things, although I find that if I'm simply not tired then I can think in parallel with the counting, so it takes a bit of effort to focus on just counting. If you lose track, don't worry about it, just start again.

Certainly willing to give it a try.

I listen to a talk radio station or a documentary channel on TV. Stops your brain getting bored, which prevents the vicious circle of your mind racing with frustration because you can't sleep.
I listen to the radio with headphones on, I often doze off with it still switched on to the World Service or 5 Live.

Are your trousers round your ankles?Are you usually woken by a tap on the shoulder, smack to the face and kick in the balls?
