Go for a good run an hour or so before you go to sleep. It's a good way to get rid of some energy and to tell your body that's rest time after.

When I was having trouble sleeping, I was told using screens before going to bed tricks your body into believing it's still daytime. The doctor advised me to take a break from the computer/TV/phone 30-60 minutes before going to bed. If you've any other hobbies that doesn't involve using a screen, you could take that up. Alternatively doing what @UVSoaked suggested, or installing f.lux. Keeping the computer in your bed/bedroom is not helping, so if you're doing that I suggest you find a new place for your computer.

Personally, I found keeping a stricter sleep schedule helped plenty.

Have you tried exercise, or any rigorous activity? How about some relaxing hobbies to take your mind off of things?

Thanks for the advice, I'll try out this Flux thingy.
I really should spend less time in front of a computer, it would improve many things in my life.

Do a fuckload of exercise, or just go on a city trip for the entire day. If that still doesn't work, spend an entire night awake and go to bed early the next night.

That'll do the job, but you better actually go to sleep or the ambien walrus will take over and make you do some really dumb shit.

Thanks for all your help, fellas,

I followed everything I could (exercise, the flow app, ect.) and I was actually able to sleep peacefully the whole night.

I feel fantastic.

Have you tried masturbating? Seriously, rub one out and you'll be out like a light.

Also, make sure you don't have any lights - especially your television.

Yeah, this is going to sound real weird, but I haven't been able to masturbate for a while.

I dunno, when I'm on vacation, I'm pretty regular, but when classes are going on, I can't even get chubbs.

It might also work if you stay away from NG for a while, this place could keep anyone awake all night.

I read many pages of this stuff.
I was curious as to why so many people didn't like it.

I like edgy/controversial stuff, but GOOD LORD

this is just.....

There was this one part where all these furries played a game like musical holes, only with rape, and when all the women died from being pulled apart, the men turned on each other and...and...and....
