    Another technique that works for me is laying flat and not moving. After a minute or two, I picture all my body parts, focusing on how heavy they are, how they stay put. This makes me feel like my limbs are falling asleep one by one. Then, I just try not to move.

    I need my feet warm to sleep. Even on a hot night, I put a blanket over my feet and lower legs.

    Write down your thoughts on your phone. Maybe two if you need them. This stops me from thinking about them again because they become real.

    Do not use your phone in bed. Get tired when you sleep, so exercise during the day. Try playing river sounds.

    There is "Slow TV." It puts you to sleep very fast.

    Jazz music from Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Duke Ellington, plus reading a book, lets me last up to 20 minutes.

    Many sound tracks exist for this. Some are guided meditations that work well. Just search whatever music source you use.

    I use Yoga Nidra. Even though it is called "relaxing consciously," I often sleep within the first 15 minutes.

    There are many places to download or listen to audio tapes.
