Try getting up and doing a bunch of activities. Pushups, situps, a walk, weights, whatever. Do it for about 20 minutes, give yourself a few minutes to cool down and let your heart rate drop, then go to bed. Always works for me.
I'm up still because I'm not done my portion for an exam preparation study group I have tomorrow, uh today. A few more case summaries and off to bed I go. It's only 1:30 here, so I'll get my 6 hours of nap time.

...beat me to it! Do you find you lie down and you have all this stuff running through your head?. It makes it very hard to get to sleep. Often reading works for. Just a few pages and my eyes get tired. Other times I have to consciously tell me mind to shut up. It's hard but try to think of just one thing, like the number 2 and force all the other thoughts away. Try it.
