Bascailly you take a warm shower then lay in bed and read ur book. This works especially well if you have a twin and forced to stay at one spot causing that spot to get warm. The warmth and the boring-ness of the activity called reading should put you to sleep pretty fast if you're anything like me.   | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melatonin#Use_as_medication It helps. As far as I know, it's not harmful. Btw, I've also heard that you should stop using computer 30-60 min before going to bed. I don't know where I've read that though. | ||

I know exercise is a good one as I have experience with that myself and keeping ur eyes closed but recently I found another good method to help you. Well actually I known about this for some time but when I'm cramming all night for finals don't really think of it. Bascailly you take a warm shower then lay in bed and read ur book.

I just read for like 30 minutes and really try to stay awake even when I'm a bit sleepy; that way when I finally can't stand it I put down my book and fall asleep near instantly. | ||

Btw, I've also heard that you should stop using computer 30-60 min before going to bed. I don't know where I've read that though. This. I take Melatonin when I really need to fall asleep, but be prepared to devote at least 8 hours to a pretty deep sleep. Funnily enough, the reason you shouldn't use your computer before bed is a direct relation to Melatonin. The light given off from your screen causes your brain to not produce Melatonin naturally, and as such its a lot like trying to get a full night's worth of sleep at noon. I should also mention you usually end up with pretty awesome dreams, even if you are not one who normally gets them at all. | ||

Ok I forgot to include this but yes this is exactly what I'm talking about. That's what I meant by "extra boost" becuz i'ts late at night and ur already semi-tired so doing this should give that extra "boost" so to speak by the title name :p | ||

Where do you read your book at? If you lay on ur side on a bed it will get warm ina while if you stay at the same spot. I dunno..for me, the warmth+reading puts me to sleep pretty quickly. I think if you read at a desk, it's not as likely but me along with others have fallen asleep pretty quickly reading while laying on the bed. | ||
