A few shots of hard liquor! It works even with a Swedish girl on your mind! Puts me right to sleep  ;D

If there's a liberal in your building, just ask him or her to sit by your bed and crap on about world peace, equality, the redistribution of wealth and affirmative action. You'll be out like a light in 5 minutes. ;)

Just the thought of that is enough to cause...nightmares  :o

Take a long hot steamy shower, or soak in a hot bath for thirty minutes right before going to bed.

Follow with a cup or glass of heated homogenized milk.

Lower the temperature (if possible) to high 60's.

If you live in the country or suburbs where there is grass & trees, open a window (will allow greater fresh oxygen supply to breathe).

Obviously, any CNS stimulants (or...obversely...quitting any CNS stimulants) will interfere with sleep.

When in bed, read one chapter/day of a good book...(or as a last resort...get in bed and read What Is To Be Done by Vladimir Lenin -- it's guaranteed to make you fall asleep...I'm actually not kidding)

If possible, to walk at least one mile each day until you're getting tired.

If all else fails, call Drew Barrymore.

I have crazy dreams without any medication.. so I wouldn't blame melatonin on any crazy dreams that I had. But I'm telling you, three shots of ouzo, and I am OUT. Better than pills, healthier than pills!   O0
