In fact, if these tips in general aren't working, maybe I'm just really asking for names of over-the-counter sleeping drugs >.>
yeah things like TV, books to try to sleep doesn't work and I've always found it silly advice. They keep your mind active with focus on something and will keep you up if you keep doing it. You have to switch off the tv or close the book before you get to bed otherwise you'd just stay up all night reading the book or such.
