The only time I have trouble sleeping is if an event severely stresses me out during the day or I start worrying about something. What I have found helps me is that as soon as possible after the stressful event occurs to take a half hour walk or ride my stationary bicycle to bring my cortisol level down. Also when in bed I try to focus on pleasant thoughts and memories or meditate.
