I believe mindfulness training and cognitive therapy could be helpful, but many can't afford to go for professional help. Having done an overnight sleep study, I learned little except I don't have sleep apnea, but don't go into deep sleep for long enough. I found meditation, putting on a relaxation or sleep cd when I turn out the light, moving the tv out of the bedroom, spraying a lavender mist around the room just before retiring and keeping the bedroom at a comfortable temperature, very helpful. If you lie awake thinking about everything you need to do the next day, or everything that bothered you that day, journal. Write for about a half hour before going to sleep. Write out the things that bothered you during the day, things you want to do the next day, then.....put on your relaxation cd, turn out the lights and count backwards from 1,000 by tens. Chances are you'll get bored and doze off.
