Why can't I sleep?

I have been really really trying for a couple of hours now, one miniute im cold, then to hot, then im uncomfortable. :( I useally nod off at around 11ish but its now 1!! I am the only one awake in the house and i useally can never stay up this late! It might be because I had a day off today with a sore throat so I slept in a little. But its driving me nuts and I dont want to fall asleep during science..

Any good technics to help me fall asleep? or any reasons why i cant get to sleep?

thanks in advanc

    I like to count backwards from 1000. This focus takes your mind off your worries and concerns which usually makes you restless. I hope you're not drinking caffeine after 3pm. This may be part of your problem. Also, starring at a computer screen before you sleep messes you up. The darkness makes melatonin kick in which makes you drowsy, the light interferes with the production of melatonin.
