I know it is hard but turning the tv off really helps me. Then i read in bed and i usually get sleepy. If i don't get sleepy, i check to make sure i took all my meds for night time. If that dosn't work, i work to remind myself "it is what it is". I usually get tired of such hooey that i get sleepy from arguing with myself .��. Sorry, my inner smart aleck had to come out. In reality, i also have two meditations i do in bed with my eyes shut. Sometimes all you can do is go with it. Hope some of these posts help!
