I find that if I'm having trouble sleeping because my mind is jumping all over the place, intentionally taking time aside before sleeping to clear my head helps a lot. I just sit on the floor, examine my current thoughts, thing about them a little and write down important ones for a few minutes, then decide to stop. At this point I just practice clearing my mind for a few minutes. Thought popped back into your head? That's fine, realize it happened, and try again. Meditation, mindfulness, whatever you call it - works well for me!
