Get lavender oil. It will help you relax so you can sleep.

LSD helps. No idea how, but I always end up waking up after I take it, so I must have slept sometime!

I might have slept last night. I can't account for the time between 4 am and 6 am, so I assume I passed out.

Get off electronic devices. Exercise. Drink water. Listen to music at low volume when you lay down to sleep (not headphones, real speakers), stop thinking about it. All else fails your body will eventually get tired enough and you'll sleep then.

1.Using a device to get this advice 2.Got water. 3.I live with two other people and the walls are thin, so music is out of the options.

Only use your bed for sleeping (no reading, homework, eating, etc). Don't use your phone after getting in bed. Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every night and morning. Have a routine that you do the same way every night (washing face, brushing teeth, etc). Once you're in bed, lay still and quiet and just let yourself fall asleep. If it's been 15-20 minutes and you aren't falling asleep at all, then try meditating, counting your breaths, or coming up with a story in your head.
A good meditation: focus on your toes, feel them relax and just keep your mind on your toes for a minute. Then, move your focus to your feet and let all the muscles relax. After sitting with that for a bit, move to your ankles and let out all the tension there. Follow the process up your body until you're fully relaxed and likely asleep (I usually nod off somewhere near my stomach) :)
