I currently have a few prescriptions for sleep so I can put myself to sleep in 30 minutes from the time I take my pills.
Before my insomnia issues, I would simply read an uninteresting book when I had trouble sleeping. I've also found that focusing on a single object or subject in your mind puts you to sleep before you know it. For example, closing your eyes, laying still, and constantly focusing on how dark it is helped settle my mind.
There are many things that can prevent you from easy sleep. Too much noise in your head can make it difficult to sleep. You shouldn't exercise, watch TV, or use a computer right before sleeping. These are just some things I'd adhere to when I used to get healthy sleep.
