Finding a quiet place, a place you like to sit and just concentrate on your breathing for a time, until you can no longer do it. This will slow your heart rate down, relax your muscles and make you wind down for bed.
Regular exercise too is important.

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!
1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.
2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.
The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.
After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net
Ohhh..and Good Luck!

Try drinking a cup of pure chamomile tea, taking a hot bath, or putting a drop of essential oil of lavender on your pillow.
Another helpful suggestion is to exercise about two hours before retiring, then take a good quality natural calcium/magnesium supplement about 1/2 hour before you go to bed. Avoid eating anything sweetened -- even honey or molasses -- within a couple hours of retiring.
I've also found it helpful to remove all clocks from my bedroom, and resist actually getting into my bed until I am sure that I am exhausted.
Getting adequate sunshine throughout your waking hours also does wonders to reset your internal clock!
Hormones also play a big part in our sleeping patterns -- if the problem continues, it would be worthwhile to get your levels checked out by a health care professional.

Try listening to soothing music. If anxiety, worry or constant and unnecessary thoughts go around the mind and prevent you from sleeping, Bach Flower Essences will help you.
Another suggestion is to use Kali Phos 6X tablets (it is a Tissue Remedy, also called Biochemic Remedy, Schussler Salt etc.)
Bach Flowers and Tissue Salts are generally available in your health food stores or homeopathic online pharmacies.

I try this trick and it has worked every time.
Start by laying on your back. Concentrate on taking deep cleansing breaths. Count out eight breaths, then lay on your side. Do the same thing with the breathing only increase to 16. Then change positions again. I usually fall asleep during the 16. If that doesn't help, try benadryl. Make sure it's ok with the doc, but it works great for me.

The herbs valerian, scullcap, and catnip are mentioned to be priceless for insomnia. The simplest factor approximately making use of herbals for any situation is that it takes as much as 30 days for them to be potent. Old folks alleviation for insomnia is to make use of hot milk with slightly honey further.

Fresh chopped lemon grass, 4-5 inches bark not leaf, for dinner fish or chicken spicy. Then need about a quart of cold water and a lot of good sleep like you never did before.
