I never get to sleep before having laid in bed at least an hour, and if I just did, saw are read something exciting, two or three is necesarry. I have no good tricks to solve this, but I have some bad ones:
1: My stephbrothers. Fall on sleep on sofa watching tv. Requires sleep deprivation and a big and comfy sofa. Will be woke up by flatmates if you snore.
2: Mine: Start spinning stories in your head. This will take at least an hour, but with some practise you'll lose the thread faster and faster, be fed up, and just sleep.
3: My grandmothers: Take immense amounts of painkillers.
4: The alcoholics (my favorite, but I'm to much of a pussy to do it regularly) take one, two, or even three glasses of port before going to bed.
5. The zombies: Just make sure you get up early, and the sleep deprivation should take care of you the next night. Just make sure you don't drink much cofee to stay awake, and don't fall asleep when you get home from work.
6. The cliche: Borrow you're flatmates "Totman - A history of Japan" or some other badly written book on a preferably interesting theme. Read it until you fall asleep. (It is important that the theme could have been interesting, else you'll just give up and find something else to read. Totman is perfect, bacause the theme is interesting, but he skips all the juicy parts and concentrate on climate, agricultural potential and such, and completely skips the political bits).
All of these have serious flaws though, especcially when you need lots of sleep to get well.
