Do not eat in the room where you are going to go to sleep (not even popcorn/snack)!.
Try to have kids in bed around 8pm
Do not exercise or work on bills, computer, internet after 9:30pm (I even have a hard time with this one sometimes)!.
Try to get that evening shower within 1 hour of when you intending to sleep (if you get up at 3-4am (me too) you should get to sleep by 10 - the latest)
The trick that worked for me the most - listening to quiet music WITHOUT WORDS (the muzak station is not good, because while they are not actually singing - you probably already know the words)
Classical music, that soundscapes cable music channel (use TVs sleep timer) or world music (outside of your own culture) helped me immensely!!
I no longer have trouble sleeping these days, but when I know I need to get to sleep on time - I put that music on and I am asleep within 15 minutes!.

First, see your doctor!. Insomnia can be caused by many types of medical conditions!. Once you rule those out, you can try melatonin!. I had such bad insomnia that I was sleeping only 20 hours a week!. I now see a therapist, and he gave me medicaiton to help (its not sleeping medication, its an antidepressant, but it quiets my mind so I can sleep)!. The hard part is determining what is causing the insomnia!. In my case, it was trauma and PTSD!. It may be something like that, or it may just be that your rythems are messed up for whatever reason!. Melatonin will help with that!. Good luck, and get some sleep!Www@Answer-Health@Com
As long as your are healthy, try to do a physical activity like walking or running!. Get yourself tire physically!. It may take a few days, but if you are tire physically, your body will tell your brain to go to sleep!. Also, before you go to bed, don't try to do anything that will stimulate your brain - try something boring, such as a book or magazine that you have no interest on, or find very, very boring!.
