    Read, read, read, generally not something too engrossing, I usually don't read novels when suffering with insomnia, generally something to do with current affairs, which I am interested in but not something you can read for hours and hours.

    Imagine those cold, wet, winter mornings when you were forced out of your beautiful warm nest to go to the education camp.

    Imagine jumping on your bike go for a spin. Decide to turn right or left at gate. Go down the road imagine your neighbours houses. Turn right or left at the end of the streetand so on. Take a familiar route. Apparently you rarely get more than a mile from your house. Easier than counting sheep but works on the same principle. It has worked for me in the past.

    I usually start with 3 panadol and 2 piriton along with a book on politics.

    If that doesn't work I try counting backwards from 300, while visualising sheep jumping backwards over a fence.

    If that fails I just spend the night tossing and turning for a few hours, then give up, get up and watch the news, nod off on the sofa in the evening from exhaustion, thus leading to a repeat of all of the above that night:(
