That depends on why you're not sleeping. Is the reason purely physical (e.g. pain, brain chemistry), psychological (e.g. anxiety, other), or something else?

I stopped fighting it. For anxiety, I get up and distract myself (mind) until I get sleepy enough.

For bad pain nights, a very low dose (10 mg) of amitriptyline usually works.
