indeed there was an xkcd strip on it, and while xkcd is great, its not a unique idea.

I've heard that if you want to read to get sleepy, chose something that's not going to get you excited or angry or scared, etc. Depending on one's tastes, bedtime might be a good chance to read some (nondisturbing) news, or entertainment stuff, etc. I usually go for something from my pile of magazines, because I can read a short article or two and then put the magazine down.

One thing I trained myself to do with meditation is to lay in bed and think of white noise like when a tv station goes off the air. As I lay there, eyes closed I just think about that sound and doing so makes me unable to keep the endless stream of thoughts going in my head (you can in fact only think of one thing at a time). Because it is a mundane droning noise I most often slip off to a good nights rest within about 10 minutes or less. I suppose you could do the same with ocean waves, crickets or anything that is calming.
