Sleep Sleep Sleep

I wasn't able to update my posts recently. I've been away from the computer for a few days and I'm trying to make up for it. Whew!
I can't sleep today. It's almost 10 in the evening. I think I need to stop drinking caffeinated drinks like Coca Cola, especially Coca Cola. (been telling that to myself for 10 years already) Can someone help me on how  to get myself to sleep?
Someone told me that counting sheep actually helps. Well I've tried that once. I got my eyes closed and counted with my mind. (I didn't count aloud). I was on the 4779th sheep when I dozed off for I-don't-know-how-long and then my mind was alerted by my subconscious that I need to continue counting. So I continued with the 5272th sheep (because I wasn't sure what numbers I missed) and I wasn't able to sleep for the rest of the night. (My mind told me that it's more important to count sheep than to sleep).
Another person also told me to drink milk before going to bed. Research actually revealed that the amino acid L-tryptophan aids in having a good night's sleep (blah blah blah). Surely, it didn't help at all. I spent the night in the toilet because of lactose intolerance.

Hey! Talking about sleep actually makes me sleepy, don't you? I think I've just discovered one way how to get myself to sleep! Eureka! hahaha! (I must be crazy). Well I need to get some rest now. Good night and let's call it a day. =D
