Often I am very tired, yet I am laying in my bed and I can't fall asleep. It seems my mind just isn't tired and I can't sleep. Besides getting up and doing something else, how can I fall asleep?

What I try to do is let go of all the thoughts in my head and relax. It may seem hard to do but after a few tries it works.
Another thing: are you comfortable in your bed? Is the pillow to high or not soft enough? Sleeping with a little bit of light or total darkness, which do you perfer? Relax your body and make sure you do not feel tense.
Sometimes there is something you have bothering you, try to tackle that thing head on. After you figure out what it is, maybe you can be more relaxed and fall asleep .
Try not to eat too near to bedtime. Cuz your body is still working and you probably can't fall asleep b/c of that. Hope this helps!

Many things could be wrong. You need to find out what they are, otherwise you will go on like this. Usually, a very common cause in these cases is the bad location/position of your bed or the sleeping room in general. I am serious, I know this from experience and know for a fact that this can really screw up your stability and be damaging to your health in many ways.
I would like to recommend you a book that is excellent in comprising almost everything that could be wrong and that you could help yourself into fixing: "Moon time: The Art of Harmony" by Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe. You could also get another very useful one to complement it... both will probably be of great help providing you study it very carefully and apply it accuaretely (you will have to try a lot until you get most of this other one right, but it is worth it):
"The Feng Shui Handbook: How To Create A Healthier Living & Working Environment " by Lam Kam Chuen.
That is the best advice I can give you, since you are the only one who really knows yourself and how you live.

I listen to music to take my mind off of other things, especially when I am really tired but have way too much on my mind. I download alot of meditation music and hypnosus as well, try and it might work for you.

Personally a hot bath works for me, especially if you slather on a softly scented lotion afterward. By then, I am soft and sleepy and can't wait to crawl into bed. Here is a site geared for women who suffer insomnia.

Do more work or exercise during the day. Go to bed at the same time every night.
