me personally i can't sleep when its so quiet.
my remedy is to laod my stereo with about 30 tracks of soft music, and just keep the volume low ( don't want to keep teh neighbours up).
that way i can relax as i listen and eventually i get to sleep, after track 20 has finished playing it activates my alrm clock to wake me up at the prescribed time, with some serious Heavy Punk rock.
sleeping is no problem then its just the waking up part i find difficult then.
and then the worst part is because i overslept. i'm tired again.
(weird i know )

When a lady commented on the size of Wellington's camp bed, saying "It is not big enough to turn over in."
Wellington replied "Madam, if I can not sleep I get up."
Here is help for those who are tired, but can not sleep for their head being full of worldly concerns.
Fill your head with something else. Find something that needs control and concentration. I know someone who would run the Japanese tea ceremony through their mind. Visualizing each action, each turn of the cup. Then when they had returned the cup to rest they were also, and off to sleep they went.
Another, would dismantle, clean and reassemble an item.
Try it.
