Meditate. Maybe it sounds too new-agey for you, but I've found that clearing the mind from distracting thoughts really helps. It' takes a bit of practice, but it's worth it if you're really struggling. That, and figuring out what's keeping you up. Anxiety? Too much on your mind? Pinpoint the problem and attempt to change it.
Personally, I like to make up stories in my head. It's thinking, but it's not thinking about your worries, so it's distracting your mind from what's keeping you up. Eventually (if you keep your eyes shut and lie still) you'll fall right asleep.

Just take a hot shower go to bed and count 1 to 1000, before you know it you are going to sleep. Since your counting you are not going to worry about sleeping or think about other issues. If that does not work and If you think you have other issues make sure to see your Dr. You can use music you like to make you sleep.

I either get up and do something like read or watch TV, or if I need to be ready to roll the next day, i take an antihistamine that puts me to sleep everytime.
