I used to have a hell of a time sleeping. What I did was starting watching TV right before bed, something easy going like The Simpsons or Seinfeld. It distracts me while not engaging me too heavily. I'll watch one episode, if that doesn't work I'll get up and do something, wait to get tired. If it's taking a while I'll sedate myself with whatever I have kicking around the medicine cabinet. That sounds a little iffy but taking minor drugs to sleep is much, much better than staying up all night.
