    Don't try to force it. You'll just start freaking out about not getting any sleep.

    My insomnia cure? Housework. Seriously. Doing dishes or cleaning my room or something. Usually within fifteen minutes, I'm exhausted and ready for bed. :slight_smile: And if it doesn't happen, I get my place clean.

    I used to suffer from terrible insomnia. Now I'm sleeping much better thankfully and am catching up on years worth of lost sleep. Give it some time. Worked for me.

    Its not really insomnia. Your body is just reacting to the caffeine. It is a stimulant meant to keep you awake. When your body metabolizes it you will be able to sleep.
