2. Two cups of air-popped popcorn.<---yup

3. A small slice of angel food cake topped with berries.<---huh  sugar sugar sugar  :o

4. A toasted frozen whole-wheat waffle with maple syrup.<---yup

5. A half-cup of pretzels.<--- too salty

6. Fresh strawberries dunked in a little fat-free chocolate syrup.<---sounds like date food  :-\

7. A half-cup of pasta topped with marinara sauce.<--- yeah lets get fat  :::D

8. A 4-ounce baked potato topped with salsa.<---lol its getting worse

9. A handful of oyster crackers and a piece of fruit.<---yup

10. Canned mandarin oranges sprinkled with crystallized ginger.<---yummy

Rice is a great relaxer...which makes sleap better.

Basically, don't sit in front of the pc the whole day, get out there...and wake up early, and you'll be able to sleep earlier.

No Coffee!

when I was young, like 12 or 13, I found it almost impossible to sleep. May have been all the chemicals racing around.

A friend also found it very hard.

Energy levels are affected alot by food too though. The effect straight after a meal.
And then also, foods that break down slowly, providing energy over a long period. Vs foods that break down quickly.
It is probably not so good to look at "foods that help you sleep" as a quick fix. It may be the time or times you are eating that is causing a problem. 

Nevertheless, regarding quick fixes.. it`s not food of course, but I did once use "Lavendar oil" on a tissue.
It was recommended to me by a girl that used it successfully. It worked for me too.
When I was going to bed and really did not feel tired. It did help me to get to sleep.
