How do you help yourself go to sleep?

Thanks guys, will try some of these
(I fell asleep eventually, my friend told me to think of things that I'm looking forward too, I passed out )

I just think about a future I'd love to have XL it gets quite elaborate and complex... so I just get tired and end up 'dropping off'.

If that fails - I count sheep... it actually works for me? XL

I usually fall asleep quite easily with me being back at school, I just get into bed and I'll be asleep within minutes. If there's ever a time where I can't get to sleep I'll usually just get into bed with my laptop until my eyes become tired and listen to some music, it would have to be a certain type of music though. I've found out that Adele helps.

I only go to sleep when I'm tired, whether that be 10pm, 6am or whatever. I don't need to 'help myself' get to sleep.

when i go to bed, i think/force dreaming until i well, fall asleep. probably why my dreams are too vivid if i know i have to wake up early (so like 8am), no matter what i do, my mind/body like spites me and doesn't let me fall asleep until 3am which is bloody frustrating.

I always find it really hard to get to sleep but I find if I relax then it doesn't take to long.

Take time to relax beforehand by watching something on iPlayer or reading a book
