I can't sleep at all, so I'm sitting here bored listening to Saosin. Anyone got any useful methods I can use to fall asleep?

Try to start winding down relaxing in the evenings, no computer or TV for an hour before you go to bed. Go to bed at 10 or 11. If you need music make it really mellow, slow stuff. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and nicotine at night.   I do take a sleeping pill occasionally. If you take them too often (like two nights in a row) they stop working. well maybe not all of there songs but "Your Not Alone" is a nice song I like to listen to to relax. and yea ill try and do those Poker Shark Posted at 3:21 am on July 8, 2008 Saosin is not relaxing music.

Yea i have a fan running above me and a lot of times I listen to music as well. Thanks for the advice man, ill try them out and see how they work.
