Sleepless in Seattle

Okay, so this isn't exactly Seattle, it's Halifax.
But I'm really quite sleepless lately and I don't understand why.
Two nights ago I didn't fall asleep until 6am. I guessed that it was because my brain was thinking about the paper I had started but didn't finish that day. 
So yesterday I finished the paper. Printed it out and stapled it to be handed in today. I still didn't get to sleep until 2:30ish. Which is an improvement from 6am. But still.
Now it's 1:22am, and I'm still awake. But even if I feel tired and sleepy, I can't fall asleep. Stressing about it won't help either.
But I'm really quite frustrated, as I tend to usually be awesome at falling asleep. Anytime of the day I could lay down on my bed and fall asleep within minutes. 
Now...well... not so much. 


I tried giving up caffeine. And tried doing exercise in the evening to tire me out. But I think it backfired. 
Having a cup of hot chocolate the other night seemed to calm me enough to put me asleep. But I can't do that too often as hot chocolate carries a lot of calories. And since the body's systems slow down at night, not all of those calories get used properly. Plus it's bad to have sugary things on your teeth before bed. 


Maybe I need an intervention of some sort. Acupuncture? Massage? 
Or maybe I just need to be closer to J. His warm body next to mind and the steady beat of his heart makes me fall into a sweet dreamland quite easily. 
Only 15 more days until I see him again. I can't wait! 
But hopefully I can get some sleep before then lol. 


What are some remedies to fall asleep quicker?
