If you have tried all of the above, then try this; ask yourself what is happening that you are worried or scared about, be honest with yourself. Then, take a good look at those things and see that they will not change even if you worry or are scared.
Also, before you go to bed, about an hour or two, make sure the lights where you are aren't bright, dim them, that signals your brain sleep is to come. Don't do anything that will get your mind going; watch T.V., read a scary book, get into an arguement, etc., make sure you are calm.
Try lavender oil, put a dab on your wrists and temples and a little on your pillow before bed. That has a relaxing affect. When you do get into bed, make sure you are comfortable, are you cold, hot, or just right? Take some slow, deep breaths and close your eyes. Don't think about ANYTHING, just listen to your own breath and concentrate on that. Sweet dreams!

Have you tried valerian root or melatonin yet? 5-HTP helps too, but the first two are more effective.
'nuff said?

well, you can take something like tylenol PM or go to the doctor and tell them, maybe it is a stress problem.

meditation before sleeping helps somewhat...
don't exercise before sleeping that makes it worse...
