Jealous - as someone with Insomnia I will never be able to do this.

  Obviously this may or may not work for you. What worked for me is finally letting of this thought that I can’t sleep. Started keeping the devices and distraction away and just trying to sleep, by lying down and closing my eyes and doing nothing else. Even if thoughts kept hitting I just kept in bed, eyes closed. Kept at it. Started improving. Now it’s much better. Again, this may not work for you. Just thought I’ll share. But even if I couldn’t sleep and sometimes I still can’t - at least now I have stopped worrying when I can’t sleep. It relaxes me a lot.

  Although I wouldn't qualify it as insomnia, I usually have troubles sleeping due to racing and intrusive thoughts. One thing that worked is counting backwards from 40; whenever my mind drifts, I start from 40 again. Eventually, it (or I) succeeds.
