Get that "lot of stuff" off your mind and you are sorted thumbs up

Same thing happens me, so I feel your pain, but don't have a solution apart from the above, which is easier said than done blues

lie perfectly still and dont move no matter what
make your eyes move around quickly while closed
this fools your mind into thinking your already
asleep because rapid eye movement happens when
your asleep .

you might want to read about lucid dreaming theres
some great techniques for falling asleep quickly

conversing

Get the stuff thats on your mind down onto paper, you'd be surprised how you can unload your mind when you start writing and it turns from thoughts in your mind to something physical on paper, plus it might help you solve them. Worked for me thumbs up

uh oh + writing = sleep

comfort

Swizzlestick: Cheers..let me tell you though...that doesn't work!

Thanks to all the above posters also.


Hope you pardon the pun but different strokes for different folks i guess blushing

Anyway hope you get sleep soon.....its a vicious circle, no sleep means you can't think straight about whats on your mind and deal with it and with stuff on your mind you can't sleep....I know the feeling well.
