this seemed like the best column to me, sry if it's not in the right place.
i have serious trouble sleeping. for example, right now it's midnight and i am dead tired. so far i've layed down to go to sleep about 4 or 5 times. every time i do, within 15 to 30 minutes i start to feel very restless. i toss and turn, i try different positions, i sit up and lay back down, and various other things. what should i do? should i go so far as to see a doctor?

-Taking a warm shower or bath before bed may help to relax you enough to fall asleep.
- Another thing to try would be listening to music softly. My dad did it growing up and now he listens to radio shows. If you close your eyes, lay in bed, and focus on listening, it will probably aid in helping you fall asleep. Sometimes i put on soft classical music.
-Drinking warm milk or tea
- Laying in bed with your eyes closed, breathing in deep and with each breath you let you relax your body from top to bottom letting go all muscle tension; Become like a rag doll. I did this once and I felt like I was floating and had no desire to move whatsoever.
- Reading or writing in a diary may be a good idea or it may not, since both those activities require light and that may make it harder to fall asleep.
If the problem persists, just go and see a doctor. it may be stress related, or something else.
Good luck!
