Can not sleep
This is about the 4th night in a row that I have gotten about 3 hours of sleep. It's not like i'm not tired. I've gone running during the day. The A/C is working, the bed is comfy. I just keep tossing and turning it is annoying as hell. It is practically 5 am. The time I normally get up.
This sucks.
I did get some reading done last night though.
Seriously with all jokes aside what do you guys do when you cant sleep.

Excedrin PM. I take one, good for 6-8 hours of sleep, two is good for 8-10. Once I realized how strong two were, I started taking only one.
They won't put me to sleep, only keep me asleep once I'm unconscious.
I work nights, so this stuff even works at 9am.
Only issue is even one excedrin makese me groggy when I do wake up, it'll easily turn into a 10 hour nap. But after 8 hours of sleep , even only 7, you're not going to get any benefit.

Yeah I usually only sleep 5~6 hours. SO when your almost cutting out half of your daily sleep its really hard. I just conked out after a 6 mile run this morning. I feel like crap right now. I hate sleeping during the day. I feel so groggy afterwards.

I'm with hustler on heavy drinking. I am also a big fan of nyquil.
Another thing that I have tried and has worked was switching which direction you face in your bed. Swap where your head goes and put your feet there instead. It works usually. I read somewhere Ayrton Senna always pointed to the same direction when he slept.

This happens to me a lot. I do so many things during the day and I get tired, but I'm not sleepy. What works for me is to just try and not think about anything. Think about the beach or something calm. If I can't sleep I usually just lay there and think about everything I have going on. Hope this helps. Lol.
