If I have problems sleeping (rarely), it's usually because I haven't had enough physical exercise and my mind is still awake. Getting to sleep is a matter of making the body's tiredness override the mind's propensity to think about things at all times.

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.
