classical music usually does the trick, I like moonlight sonata... or you could watch c-span until you just fall asleep if you dont mind sleeping with the light flickering on the tv, or set it to sleep after 90 minutes or something. Or maybe do some exercise like go for a light jog or lift some weights before bed to get the energy out. You can even take a walk or a drive after dinner to bring u into a relaxing mood. Also reading is pretty common for sleepless nights. Stay away from caffeine as well, and especially coffee after dinner, and those horrible energy drinks... well i wouldn't be surprised if they find out they cause cancer in a few years from now... I thought this was weird but also the food you eat can help you fall asleep, staying away from high carb foods at dinner will allow you to relax, and stay thinner, and even things like ice cream or chocolate can keep you up bc of the sugar.
These are all things that I have gotten from a seminar I went to about sleep on campus because I had trouble adjusting to college 2 years ago. I was told to stay away from the nyquils and over the counter sleep aids because of dependency and they also can make u feel like shit in the AM. Hope it all helps?
