What do you guys do when you can't sleep?

9 times out of 10 if I can't sleep it's because I'm replaying laps in my head, thinking of ways to improve. I find counting my breaths, backwards from 100, and starting over if I think about anything else helps me.

Though even with that, it can still be an issue sometimes. On those nights, I usually just call in to work 'sick'. I suppose it helps though that my boss is an insomniac bi-polar like me, so he recognizes the real effects of not being able to sleep as a legitimate reason to call in sick.
Recently I've tried using a reptition of a certain phrase to lull me to sleep when the doesn't cut do the trick. And that has worked tremendously well when necessary.

Jonzy, have you tried taking sleeping pills? That might work, but you'll have to deal with the drowsy feeling when you wake up.
