Hi Jodie,
It happens to me sometimes, although I have more trouble staying asleep than getting asleep. The best thing I've found to do is a sort of meditation while I lay quietly. If that doesn't work I just get up and do something that I need to do. Usually just the thought of doing something I don't want to do puts me out. But, as I said, falling to sleep isn't my major sleep problem.
I read something interesting tho, just today. Seems that they did a study where they taped the brain waves of people and made tapes out of them. People who listened to tapes of their own brainwaves as opposed to someone else's fell to sleep on average in 17 minutes rather than 50 someodd minutes for people who listened to someone else's.
Can you imagine if they ever are able to do something useful with that? A drug free sleep aid. Could be a problem for couples though. They'd have to wear headphones or something to bed.
Hope you get some sleep soon.
