Hello! I'm just kind of grazing on the boards today. Anyway, I was like that growing up. I'd lay there for hours. A trick my dad used to do with me (when he got sick of me running in there at midnight to ask him what Chinese people eat for breakfast or how long I was going to live) is to focus on each muscle one at a time. He'd tell me to go back to bed and start at my toes and go up to my scalp and back down again, flexing each muscle for 10 seconds, then relaxing it and on to the next.
Year later I realized they do the same thing in yoga classes.
HTH!
