You know, I've come to notice that there are a 'lot' of insomniacs on this site. We've got people who either have a hard time or can't sleep when it comes to actually wanting to go to sleep. They'll say the medicine doesn't work, or just shutting their eyes doesn't get them to sleep, and they're left with out the napping hours. Some of us are like this as well, some nights we just can't close our eyes, so what do you do when you can't sleep to get yourself to sleep, for lack of medical aid?

I tend to just get in bed, and get completely still. From there I try to make my whole body still, starting with the toes. I go with the big toe, then the next, and the next, paying a mental note as I try to still the entirety of my body on the way up. I usually don't get to the thigh, having fallen asleep before I get to far.
The one rule is that if you 'move', you have to start over, all the way back to the big toe.
