Here are some things that helped me to sleep:

A warm cup of tea and a nice soak in the tub.

A nice chick flick movie or comedy...not something to intense...something to take your mind off things and just make you smile.

Curling up in a chair with soft lighting and a good book to read

Just saying a prayer to the Lord getting everything out and released before trying to sleep.

Listening to some quiet piano, or instrumental music with the headphones as you lay in bed.

Talking to a friend or family member before settling in for the night.

Taking a quiet walk around the neighborhood or sit out by a campfire.

Or relax by knitting, painting, working on a puzzle etc...
