[Heel n Toe]

Chris, try these two things.

1) Seriously, get some melatonin... I use it sometimes when I think I might have trouble falling asleep, and it really helps. A friend told me about it years ago, and it is available in the herb and vitamin section of any CVS, RiteAid, Walgreen's, etc. IIRC, when I first bought some, it came in 1mg tablets, which seemed about right. Now I'm finding it in 3mg, which is a bit stronger than I need, so I cut them into four pieces at .75mg. Take it about an hour before you want to fall asleep.

2) Read instead of watching TV. Also, I read using a fairly dim light, a 40 watt bulb... it helps me get sleepy by not having a real bright bulb going. This, in combination with the melatonin, will help you wind down.

As a side note, if you follow this several nights in a row, the melatonin will sort of get you in a sleep groove and help regulate your sleep on an ongoing basis.
