Answer :

I can never sleep when my head is too busy. Sometimes I get the loop tape going in there and sleep just can’t happen. So I listen to books or pod casts on my iPod. Just immerse yourself in the words or soft music if you prefer, and in no time your head will forget the tape and you will be asleep. Trust me, it works.
