Not being able to sleep is just awful! TRY clear your head...picture a big blank grey wall ...nothing else then go through (mentally) & relax every muscle from your toes all the way up, one section at a time all the way to your fingertips then back up & to the top of your head.
A girl scout leader talked a group of us through this in camp one year & I've been doing it since then (more years than I will admit) & SOMETIMES it works like a charm.
Good luck & good zzzzzzzzzzz's

Let the bed support you, with each breath sink deeper and deeper into the mattress. If you can get this concept then it should be easy to fall asleep.

Drink some night tea or play some smoothing music or take a shower to relax or dip in the pool.

A glass of red wine helps.
Theanine or Valerian may help.

or try buonriposo item#a7swh131
5-HTP or GABA supplements help some.

close your eyes. and dont open no matter what
turn off the lights
and breathe in with your nose, and out w/ your mouth
also try not to think and overanalyze things before sleep
