I have days and nights on end when I can't sleep, and get so tired that I get hallucinations! But I know they are hallucinations! I then become afraid to sleep because I think I will not wake up. I now don't try to sleep, I just lay down close my eyes ,if I fall asleep then I'll fall asleep! If I don't fall asleep then I don't! Worrying about makes it harder to get to sleep, but if you don't think about it just think of something that you enjoy that makes you tired try not to read a book or watch TV half hour before you go to bed, some people like myself don't follow the above rules because reading a book sends me to sleep as does having the news on tv in the background. There's all sorts of things that can send you to sleep, one is controlled breathing count each breath out,it does work. Warm milk with Honey and Brandy can also work,(you can use whisky instead of the Brandy) there is also a very old book called "Sleep and Me" that has some great ideas, my sleep pattern is getting a little better.
