1) Sit and relax before you hit the bed. Listen to soft music and do deep breathing exercises. These will calm you and help you sleep. Come what may, do not consume caffeine, alcohol or nicotine before you sleep.
2) Formulate a bedtime routine, for the evening, which can be associated with sleeping. For example, drinking hot milk and having a warm water bath can be really helpful. Milk contains tryptophan which induces sleep while a bath / shower lowers the internal body temperature thereby signaling the body that its time to sleep. An equally effective alternative is chamomile tea, which is known to calm nerves.
3) Avoid activities like eating; watching TV, reading etc. in your bedroom as the body is unable to associate sleep with the bedroom. Your bedroom should be a dark and cozy place, which gives you the feeling of comfort and security.
4) Before you sleep, always empty your mind of thoughts for the next day. Make a to-do list, organize clothes for the morning, and prepare lunch a night before. Delay appointments in case you worry about getting up early.

Keep the same schedule, have a dark bedroom, don't watch TV and most of all try not to think.
There are herbs you can take, like Valerian root extract, or Hops, or an amino acid called gaba. You can get these at a drug store that sells supplements. These are fine for your age.
Read. Take a hot shower. Eat a banana. Eat some lean turkey deli meat on an empty stomach. Honey will make you sleepy too. And exercise regularly.
I've dealt with insomnia. Pills are not the way. They are only designed to treat infrequent insomnia or you will build a tolerance just like you would for any medicine.
At 13, if you are not active physically, your body is never going to ask you for rest; if that makes any sense. Gym class doesn't count. Get on a treadmill for 30 minutes at least.
close ur eyes dont think about a think dark room no tv no noise and you should be fine
exhaust yourself during the day,read books,and a warm milk with honey is very good for young people like you...
Think of a blank peice of paper under a light. It actually does help.
Insomnia its a sleeping problem that millions of people have especially teenagers
I have to think of only a black screen
Listen to music
Watch tv (not on the computer)
Read a book
