I find that Lavender helps. I put a few lavender oil drops on my pillow or on a handkerchief. I find the smell really relaxing and am soon asleep.
I also love nothing more than a lovely fresh clean bed to climb into. Sometimes you can get linen sprays that smell good too.
I also agree with the other answers of warm milk and a bath close to bed time.
Try and avoid watching tv right before bed as it stimulates the mind too much. And don't drink caffeinated drinks after 4pm each day.
Sweet dreams!

Reading a book in a quiet place, not in bed, for an hour before going to bed is helpful
Also going to bed tired is a good thing.
The warm bath and milk are an okay idea.
Other tips include
A cool, dark place. You should not be able to see you hand in front of your face.
You should go to sleep at the same time and get up at the same time everyday. This helps your carcadium rhythm. If you stay up late you should still get up at the same time.
Deep breathing and relaxation works really well especially when you get good at it, it'll help you fall asleep quick when you are travelling and away from your own be.

Taking slow deep breaths is a good way to meditate your self to sleep. Make sure your chest rises while inhaling and you abdomen gets pulled in while exhaling. Think relaxing thought. If that doesn't help sex or masturbation helps you reach the same relaxation level that meditation will.

Are you staying awake from pain, sore muscles, or is your brain acting like a run away freight train? I can't help you without know what is going on with your body. You need to give a few clues before you can get a good answer.

Prepare yourself a tea with fresh or dried leaves of an orange tree. It works and it is natural. This is a commonly used beverage in South America, used forever.

A nice walk with your spouse and/or children, and a great prayer to Jesus Christ at bedtime, and throughout the day. God Bless you.

To help fall asleep you need a nice warm (not hot) bath and some warm milk... if that is unavailable, try talking to my soon to be ex-husband... it's foolproof. want his number???
