Worrying too much about sleeping problem itself makes it even worse.

If you are relatively healthy (meaning with no other particular health problems), try some of the bellows. But don' t try everything at once. Start easy ones first.

1) Think about good things before actually going to sleep.
2) To encourage your natural melatonin secretion, spend an hour or so in dim(the dimmer the better) room light before bedtime. Avoid bright lights at any cost, even TV light if possible.
3) Try to keep your body temperature relatively cool except for your feet until bedtime.
4) Avoid hot shower if possible especially right before bedtime.
5) Take a 10-15 mins nap during the daytime, after lunch if possible.
6) Eat high protein snack a few hours prior to bedtime.
7) Avoid booze.
8) Kiss your wife or girl friend before bedtime.

Hope this would help.
