A question:

Does anybody know some good relaxation techniques and such for getting to sleep?

The one where you concentrate on stretching and relaxing different muscles never seems to work for me. I used to write fic in my head or just concentrate on a past happy memory, but even that doesn't work these days and ... well sleep deprived me is not a very nice me to have to deal with. I just need something to distract my brain and make it switch off for the day (...and preferably have it stay that way for a nice 6-7 hours).

Any suggestions at all, no matter how obscure, would be welcomed.

*wanders off to nap for an hour or so*
