Most importantly I try to take my mind off thinking about the day/problems in general. If I'm a 'little awake' I make movies/stories in my head in as much detail as I can conjurer. Usually some adventure story I play out. Kinda amuses me until I drift off. If I'm really awake and don't want to go back to work I put on a movie onto the TV I've already watched a few times, ideally something a bit boring. Usually that makes me drift off. There's also the more personal option I'm surprised no-one has mentioned yet. That tends to help the boys sleep at least.
