Warm milk? I guess?..
Well, I always see it in movies. 0.<
I just listen to my iPod, then I fall asleep.
Or watch 'A Christmas Story' since it's on tonite! :)

My aunt did warm milk and Benadryl, but I highly suggest you don't do it.

Sniff a nice scent
Flex your muscles from top to bottom while lying on your back, then count to five breathing in, and then count to five breathing out.

I heard from somewhere tthat you cant go to sleep for like an hour after you look at your IPod screen because of it's brightness..

Actually I'v been told that all of those, with the exception of reading, keep you up.

I'm not sure about that but I heard and I know for a fact that you can't fall sleep for an hour or 30 minutes after looking at your computer screen because it is so bright that it matches the brightness of the sun and it makes you mind think it's still day time. Check this out. I think is was in a health magazine where I read this.

yeah that's true. On christmas eve me and my Dad were watching Lady In The Water.. (It's really strange. Dont watch it..) And I fell asleep half way through..

I usully do my ds untill i get tired the brightness helps or i talk to my sister.But i have to sleep in my parents room with my mom so its going to be hard to do anything with our waking her up.:xmas33::grinch::candycane::mickeysanta:

I listen to the quiet/depressing RENT songs (Without You, Finale B, Life Support, etc.) for two reasons:

- Quiet and dpressing makes me sleepy.
- I convince myself I'll have RENT-ish dreams :D

Warm milk and peanuts. I usually don't have to, I fall asleep instantly.

Eat angel food cake. It's soft, fluffy, and really makes you tired when it's 3 am and you're watching old christmas videos from when you were three. Read a book, write a book.

LOL, Good Idea.... RENT songs.... Hmmm [ Dreams of the possiblities...]

Warm milk or decaf tea works. So does:
-Reading
-Staring at a DS screen
-Convincing yourself that if you stay up, you'll have to wait longer
-Write in a journal or heck, write a book! I did last year, well, short story anyways.

Those are my ideas.:xrolleyes:

listen to the first half of stairway to heaven. XD

(warm milk. bleh.)

Unless your me, I cannot fall alseep without the television on, so every night I have to time it for like a hour to turn off.. bad habit.

count sheep , think happy thoughts LOL ,sing softly to your self , put in a night light so when u see the bit of light refelct off the walla it makes u drowsy , take a nice long run and try to sleep then =)

I remember this thread from last year. I'm typing this on my iPod Touch and it's working pretttttty welllllllllllggeuvdt1111,6:$,46;uyggbfggu......... ......... *snnnorrrre*

ehhh....I think reading helps cause your eyes get droopy while reading because of the "un"brightness of the pages.

Sugar Free, Caffine Free Hot Chocolate, No Water, Just Milk. tastes so good, i've even dozed off after having a few cups of Mountain Dew at a party that night.:xwink: and Have a Very Merry Christmas!!!! :-)

umm I have a few, Well since its almost 11:10 here, I really suggest Not to stay on the computer,
1. Read a boring book
2. Read a baby book about 20 times
3. if you have an awesome night light like mine (Yes, I still use a night light :P) watch it change colors and count 1 for each time
4. talk to a sibling
5. count from 1000 to 1 BACKWARDS ( I normally stop counting at 973 because i end up fallling asleep)

Dont watch tv either it makes it really hard for me to sleep, I just end up wakeing up because it was left on all night,
I havent tried milk (allergic)
and REALLY Dont Drink or eat any thing with sugar lol and Especially not energy drinks LOL

Well Merry Christmas!

Well, have your mum put you to bed, (What, my mum does EVERY night)get sick (Like me, this way, I will have no problem ;)), tea...Japanese kind, they do the best tea. Also, try seafood.

Drink some warm milk, be it chocolate or plain, and then have a nice reading session of one of your favorite/new literary work.
Works for me.

What I did, is shut my eyes, and stay still and not open them... LOL!

Yup Yup.. christmas eve is agony , you cant go to sleep, the more you want yer presents the slower time gets... I HATE WAITING FOR STUFF , Merry christmas btw its morning, what I did last night is i asked my dad to knock me out.. jk, I just layed in my bed and tried to go to sleep. It took me an hour of closing my eyes just to go to sleep ROFL
