I can't sleep

It happens to everyone I guess but it happens to me regularly. I can't get to sleep. I know why and I usually have tricks to help me get there. Tonight it didn't work.
The problem? My brain won't shut off. It runs non-stop like a generator producing enough energy to electrify the rest of my body. (P.S. don't tell me it has anything to do with caffeine because I didn't have any - maybe that's my problem)
Normally I relax. I write in my journal all the stuff running around in my head. After a while I throw on some headphones to give me something else to not-focus on (if that makes sense). Eventually I fall asleep. Not tonight.
The alarm will go off in a few hours (about the time I start to wear out). I'll shower *wake up* and do well most of the day. I'f I'm lucky I'll be tired and get some sleep tomorrow/tonight night, (whatever).
If I'm unlucky it'll be a 2 or 3 nights before I get some real sleep. That hasn't happened in a while, but it does still happen.
