How do you get to sleep at night?

Most of the time now, whenever I go to bed, I'm actually tired enough to where I just need to throw a blanket over myself and I'll fall right asleep within a few moments. Thankfully I don't need much else at those times.

However, if it happens to be a night when insomnia tries hitting - mostly whenever I have too many things on my mind - I'll try distracting myself somehow. I'll either get back on my laptop and browse around a bit, or if that fails I'll just grab my GBA and start playing a bit of a game. That usually helps.
 
I need something cold against my face, which is usually the other side of the pillow, or... my wall...

Yeah, I improvise. I found it clever >>'
I also can't have any music playing and my computer needs to be off. Any noise keeps me awake.
 
I just watch TV until I'm ready to go to sleep.:nervous:
I sleep like a little baby in a blanket! :P
 
I'm an insomniac. I like to stay up until past midnight at the very least. Even on school nights(on summer nights I might stay up as late as 4 in the morning). I just sit at my computer until I'm so tired I can't keep my eyes open, or blank out and wake up in bed the next day. :P
 
I can almost never get to sleep immediately, so I just stay up and play my DS and/or listen to music for a while until I feel like I cannot stay awake any longer. Usually fatigued if I wake up early in the morning.
 
Me, I'm an extremely picky sleeper. I have to be comfy, in a mostly dark room with at least a bit of light. It also has to be cold and must have some kind of music or sound playing. As you can see, I'm not one of those people who can fall asleep in a couple seconds like on TV.
When I was 5 or so, I would have this one light blue blanket. As long as it was there, I would fall dead asleep without any help.

Why do I get the feeling I will regret posting this...
 
I stay up until I just fall over. Sometimes I fall asleep drawing, but most of the time I'm watching TV. Atleast I haven't fallen asleep eating yet...I can see myself waking up with a face full of dinner.

He he, that reminds me of the time I was laying on the couch waiting for my mom (this was when I was around 7) to finish dinner, and I fell dead asleep. I woke up next morning thinking it was yesterday night. I woke up my parents asking for dinner.
 
I don't go to bed till I am dead tired - otherwise, I would just lay there thinking and never get any sleep.
 
My bedtime routine is very extensive because I can be quite the insomniac.
I need to make sure I haven't consumed anything with sugar at least 4-5 hours prior to bedtime because it heightens my anxiety. Then I need to make sure I'm warm, since my room can get quite cold sometimes. I sleep with earplugs (it's a long story but it has to do with anxiety). Noise will keep me awake. I also have to make sure it's as dark as possible. Light keeps me awake, too.

So, there. This is why I don't sleep much. >_>
 
I stare at my clock until I lose conciousness. It seriously takes me around 1-2 hours or more to fall asleep every night. I usually am just thinking too much: about school, about life, about my fanfic, about whatever. I can't really stop, and I don't particularly mind, so I just live with it I guess. Sometimes I don't even sleep at all, which is maddening considering that I am then watching my clock for roughly seven or eight hours straight.

As someone else said, I find it easier to fall asleep during midday or the afternoon. Sometimes I come home and simply go to bed: for some reason I'm really tired after school. I have the lights on and everything, and I still fall asleep. Then I stay up later because I took a nap :P
 
I usually be online and then I start to fall asleep. When I start seeing fuzzy things, then it is time for me go to bed. If I have to go to work early the next day, I will go to my bed and lay down. Usually I fall asleep right way. No problems. :3
 
I usually just take a random book, sometimes even my text books from school, and I start to read it until I can't keep my eyes open anymore, so I sleep. Most of the time, it takes me 30 minutes to an hour to fall asleep, but sometimes, when I'm really tired, it takes only a couple of minutes. And when the book I'm reading is really interesting, I force myself to stay up, telling myself, "Just one more chapter!" Of course, it's never just one more chapter >.>

This topic makes no sense at all. So you're saying that if you don't drink hot chocolate or warm mild, you're incapable of falling asleep? Wow. o_o

As for me, I close my eyes and let my brain drift off to the land of dreams.

I don't sleep normally. I spend all night on irc then sleep for 2-4 hours after getting tired from being on irc all night. (you would be to)

DITTO!
I really dont sleep normally either. I stay up way late online and get like 3-4 hours of sleep and I'm fine in the morning. (that is after my first cup of coffee XD)
 
Well... Normally I fall asleep right away, but I often do little RPs in my head. I draw manga so I RP my series and all its characters. (in my imagination, mind you)
 
Sometimes, i just think about something I've done at that day, or jsut I fall asleep.
 
Well I do many things befor sleep, think about my poems to write in the future, what i did during the day...

Read a fanfiction or two, or passage of flight...

And then my mom gives me a sleeping pill, becuase I have had a something very bad happen and if I sleep naturally I usually have nightmares ...havn't had a true dream in 3 years... :(
