Turkey sandwich and a glass of milk usually helps me out.

Warm milk with honey. Most people know about warm milk, but honey is a natural sedative and should help.

Drink some gummi bears in warm skim milk and sing a song about bran muffins (don't forget the chainsaw solo!).

Out.

Insomnia is an ailment, ailments are best treated at their sources rather than intercepted later-- at least that's ideal.

What do I notice causing insomnia in myself? Usually an imbalance of introverted/extroverted mindstate... sometimes I am around people all day every day and then later escape into introversion when I come home, and since I regenerate in that state I feel that staying awake is better than sleeping.
Another side is having too much introversion which gets you locked into staying awake, like a zombie.

What's the best cure? Harmonize your personal social dynamic, find a GF you really gel with, hang out with healthy friends for a responsible amount of time, go out and get tired, do stuff, don't get bored. Get tired, satisfied about your day and look forward to the next.

He'll have time to sleep when he's dead! :cool:

Or, I dunno, read 'Catcher In the Rye'. Or maybe something by Charles 'snore-fest' Dickens.
