If you aren't allergic to milk then warm milk with sugar just before you go to bed,is an old remedy but good. If you play some quiet music that stops after awhile, can help too. Oh and if you are allergic to milk, then try some chamomile tea-you find it in any grocery store these days and can get mixture ones too with more than one flavour with the chamomile too which can be nice,with honey it is lovely. Just make sure it isn't a green tea mixture because they have caffeine in them. Caffeine too any time of the day can be bad-it has a build up effect,so if you are having coke drinks, sport drinks, or lots of coffee, they can accentuate any sleeplessness. Slow deep breathing,as you start to sleep, can be good,but especially keeping your thoughts off those worrying things will help the most, try to get your mind onto happy memories/thoughts, and that will help too. All the best, if all else fails ask your doctor for some help:)

Try some tea, or warm milk. If you have any Benedryl at home, try one of those with the aforementioned. If it's really a problem, get out an old school textbook or other such similar book. Or look for bass fishing or golf on the TV and watch it. That should knock you out in no time. Good luck!!

Routine is key. Get into a great routine with bedtime and stick to it. I've always read that tv is very bad for going to sleep. It's too stimulating for you to really get sleepy. Other activites that are less stimulating can actually tire you down and help you go to sleep. These are activities like reading or word or number puzzles. I love SUDOKU it is light and challenging and realy tires my brain so that I go right to sleep when I turn off my reading light.
Certain foods can help you go to sleep... drinking a little bit of milk is good whether it's warm or cold. There are some teas that are decafinated that are good to drink a little before you go to bed, I think one is cammomile.
Doing something calming like rubbing your hands, arms and legs down with a calming lotion is relaxing and can help you wind down. Some lotions are made especially for this: Johnson & Johnson's bedtime lotion.
Some sounds and scents are also relaxing and help you wind down. Sometimes I go to sleep listening to a very low classical cd, or nature sounds, also the sound of the ceiling fan on high helps me go to sleep.
Also the bedtime lotion's nice smell is very relaxing.
Avoid drinking or eating foods with caffeine before bed as well as medication that may keep you awake.
Good luck.
