Idk, If I am the only one this happens to, but sometimes at night I just can't fall asleep.. and you know I try the usual counting sheep, singing a song etc. but if all else fails I just some times come down on the computer and browse around the eGO forums. And alot of times things get on my mind before I am going to bed and they are eGO related too so it makes me want to check the forums even more lol. I am just wondering if the rest of you do this or am i just messed up?

i dont have that!! but i do think about eGO constanly!! its weird, " i always ask myself, Why am thinking about eGO" weird!!
i love classical music...
but ya i get this, i honestly don't usually hop on the forums though, i just put on a movie and watch it with my glasses off, before i know it im out cold.
just do something that occupies your mind so your thoughts are not wandering, thats what mostly keeps me awake...or if im anxious about something the next day. like say im starting a new job the next day, i can NEVER sleep. just throw on a movie and kaboom...ZZZs
i went through this period where i couldn't sleep unless i put the movie Amadeus on. i watched that movie every night for probably half a year

i just listen to music usually it helps. 
the best remedy i'd have to recommend is that you make a playlist of ambient music (Enya is a brilliant band for such music) and play that softly while you're trying to sleep, and focus on the music and lyrics until you can think of nothing else (that way there are no wandering thoughts to keep you awake) and you should drop off within 6-7 songs at the absolute most!

What are you talking about, metal is the best to fall asleep to...
Throw on some Metallica and just close your eyes... works like a charm...

Enya is great anytime you want to just chill.
I've found that working out several hours before I intend on going to bed helps me sleep. And it gets you fit
yay fit!

Yeah for a long time i had the same problem, then my friend told me to try meditation (no im not a hippie! 
) Basically you concentrate on your breathing, then when you inhale you expand your stomach and when you exhale you suck your gut back in. Also i usually have a fan or my computer on when i sleep to drown out some of the ambient noise. Unless my girlfriend is over, then i dont care if i cant sleep! :thumbup1:

If you have a TV in your room, a 100% proven solution is to turn on the golf channel. All the nature, and the whispering, will put you out!
lol that would never work for me, i LOVE golf!! it would keep me up, i'd wanna know whos winning etc etc. which reminds me, anybody watch the masters?!?! ROFL at Mil Phickelson

funny thing is i actually stay up playin games and before i go to sleep ill browse to forums to see if anything new or interesting is posted. not the greatest idea though because some nights ill stay up an extra hour reading lol.
the thing that works for me is to play games/browse forums and then when its a bout 30 min before i need to get to sleep ill get off and lay down turn on my tv and try to find something somewhat interesting and ill fall asleep pretty quick.
