Ok, so I have to get up at six tomorrow, because it is he first day of school, but I cannot get to sleep! If anyone has some good quick tips they can throw my way I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I usually play or flourish with my deck of cards. I simply play with something that is not computer based or electronic.
Yeah, NEVER do anything stimulating before or while you are trying to fall asleep.
What I do if I can't fall asleep.
Get a bowl of ceral, slowly eat that. If you are hungry after the first bowl, simply get another. Usually when I can't fall asleep, I'm hot. I take my comforters off and direct the fan at me. After I get nice and cool, I read until I get drowsy. After that, I can usually fall asleep.
If I can't fall asleep, I try not to worry about it to much. If you worry about falling asleep, then you can't.

Yeah it's so hard not to! I will try all of these methods and post if they were successful or not.
read the bible. if you arent a fan of incomprehensible fantasy, youll go right to sleep.
Oh just a note for all you people saying the Computer stops you from sleeping. It might just work for me, who knows, but there's this thing you can DL for free called 'Flux' -- it cuts the strength of your screen [Not really brightness, but it makes the light orangey].
Whenever I need to sleep, I usually just use the computer on low brightness + flux and I drop eventually.
But honestly you can't fix the cycle in one night, you have to go through a few groggy days to fix it.
i stay up until i cant any longer then pass out in my bed after just barely making it up the stairs to my room.

Five or six sleeping or pain pills will knock you out right fast. Cough medicine, melatonin, benadryl, and so forth, are quick knockouts that don't keep you asleep for hours.
I think I might try and sneak downstairs and take a handful of benadryls.
We were out of benadryl, but I managed to sneak out four ibprophens
I don't mean to be trying to encroach on the Mods here, but this is starting to sound a little bit like encouraging OTC drug abuse, which as highlighted above, is HARMFUL and OBJECTIONABLE, not to mention really dumb. Doing things like this can seriously alter your physical chemistry without you even knowing it and make it dangerous for you to do things like driving. It can also thin your blood to hazardous levels, which leads to risks of high blood pressure and major bleeding.
if nothing else at least you did something.
and believing you will have a six pack in a matter of hours will surely help you fall asleep.

Computers make it more difficult to fall asleep because they stimulate your mind, not because they're to bright. There's also there's this thing called a button, that's usually on your monitor, keyboard, or computer options, that allows you to adjust your monitor light on your own. Macbooks also automatically dim the lights and brighten the keyboard lights in a dark room, and raise the lights in a bright room.

theres another button on your monitor that allows you to adjust the brightness really fast. so fast that it almost seems like its going straight from regular to black.
I completely agree with you CommanderPaladin. Drugs that make you fall asleep can be very hazardous AND you'll get very addicted to those pills. If drugs are OPTIONAL, don't use them. Either read a book, do something non simulating while laying in your bed, take deep breaths, or anything else besides pills to go to sleep.

Once again, I am not stupid, and I only took the motrin because of a splitting head ache. Motrin doesn't even make you that drousey.

I disagree entirely. I do not know if Mac's change the color of the light they transmit, but the thing I was talking about is not a 'brightness' changer. I am able to change the brightness and use the program at the same time, and usually I don't have to change the brightness because the program works well. It cuts off the blue glow computer screens give. When looking at the screen from an angle, it looks orange. Some people I know use it to keep others from looking at their stuff. I've always had trouble sleeping in the past, usually because computers are fun to use. I've found with a dimmed screen and this program I've been able to pick sleep over a computer. Just my thoughts.
Furthermore, I don't believe computers are that stimulating. Maybe if you're playing some hardcore game, but if you're shooting zombies or reading something, then I don't know why looking at a screen would be any more stimulating than eating a banana.

I never used the word color in my post, i did use the words "brighten", "dim", and "light" though.

It's not really an opinion, it's a fact. Some things on a computer are less stimulating then others (such as reading an book on one), but anything stimulates it.

Please post a link so I can check this out.

I disagree, if you do dim your screen, manually or otherwise, it is not as stimulating as a bright screen would be. I know many people that find things on there computer that relax then. One example is that my friend always talks about how to go to sleep he watches the thing on Windows media player when you play music.
I disagree
Once again, it's not an opinion, it's a fact. You can't agree or disagree with a fact, that doesn't make any sense.
