I've fallen asleep to The Shining once, not because it was boring. I finished it after I woke up. Great movie.

This may sound all new-agey, but have you tried yoga? There are specific "PM" yoga workouts out there that focus on relaxing the muscles and mind. Luckily, I don't have any regular sleeping problems, but it does help me when I have my occassional sleepless night.

Until recently, and still sometimes, I have suffered from Insomnia.
For me it's caused by a combination of stress and watching too much TV or being on the computer. The brain cannot rest of it's not relaxed.

I find I need to tire myself. So exercise.
I'm not big on indoor exercising. I try and find other ways.
In the winter I ski. In the summer I swim in the ocean. At other times I will dance and/or have some wine. Walking or jogging can help.

Most recently I started a new job that has a longer commute and longer work hours, so I'm pretty sure that's what's solved my problem.
