Sleeping aids when mind just can't stop working
I would suggest not going the drug route unless it's medically prescribed sleeping aids under the care of your doctor.
It sounds like we have a similar problem; normally sleep well, but once in awhile just can't do it.
I tossed and turned and couldn't shut down the brain and lost a lot of good time sleeping until I discovered this: What I do now when I discover it's liable to be one of those nights is I immediately get out of bed, go to my computer, and write about it. If it's emotional, I talk to my computer. If it's a brainstorm, I explore every angle I can think of. If it's a worry, I write down the "what ifs". No matter which it is, it generally takes just 20 to 30 minutes and I go back to bed and fall right asleep. I find that lingering in bed just hoping to fall asleep doesn't work for me. Get up, confront your brain, and get it under control by writing it to sleep.
Hope this helps some. Insomnia is awful!
