Tylenol PM works wonders not for me it has the same ingredient as benedryl... which of course I can't spell but it doesn't do much for me. The only thing I found that really works is Trazadone... which of course you need to see your doctor to get. But it does stop your mind from racing for hours and you just go to sleep.

hot milk usually works--but sometimes aspirin goes with it helps too--

I have a problem when I lay down, my mind runs and runs like I have to think about everything that has every occured to me in my life and I must fix it now oh it drives me crazy. It can take me sooo long to fall asleep sometimes. I lay in bed two to four hours before I fall asleep and like you I think to much lol yea I know the feeling... and the things I think about are so not important, especially at that moment in time amen to that

it's called having a ridiculously LARGE conscience where you have to think about EVERYTHING and try and fix it all before you can go to sleep.

Melatonin is a very good suggestion, as stated above. Valerian Root is a good alternative as well. Not to mention, getting OFF the computer and actually laying down to rest can work wonders also.
