(http://www.well.com/user/mick/insomnia/)

A webpage devoted to coping with insomnia. "We've collected a variety of methods for getting you to sleep, including some we're quite sure you've never seen before. They're all designed to help you deal with tension, stress and anxiety, and to get a good night's sleep. Not every one of these techniques alone will get you to sleep, but a few of them at least should prove successful. Needless to say, there's no guarantee, and no attempt to provide medical advice."
