Sounds interesting, i have problems getting to sleep alot and i read about this method that is supposed to work for some ..
the brain runs at a certain amount of waves per second when you are awake and when you beggin to fall asleep they start to slow down. Now what you are supposed to do is try and be conscious of these waves slowing down, and try to put all your concentration into this and block out all your thoughts and surroundings, quiet hard to explain and i cant find the link i was reading from... Ive tried it a couple of times , i felt myself relaxing but i snapped out of it after a bit.

seems the only think that works for me is copious amount of ganj and booze lol.

maybe worth a try though.
