Default Getting to Sleep
Alteril is over the counter, contains melatonin, valerian, L-tryptophan and chamomile.

Also, I sometimes "count to 100" but my rule is that if my mind wanders and the numbers are not the main thing with my attention, then I start over.

I get further and further with each attempt to stop my mind wandering off. I do not usually make it to 100 before falling asleep after a few attempts. It is quite boring, but has mostly been effective. However, some nights, I give up after quite a few attempts to reach 100.
