Sneak some liquor from the liquor cabinet and get yourself a nice nightcap ;-)
If that won't work for you, maybe writing down what's overwhelming you in a journal might do the trick.

This will sound paradoxical, but one way to fall asleep is to try to stay awake. Think about it--when you can't fall asleep, you lay there concentrating on falling asleep, but your effort usually results in a level of attention that prevents your brain from reaching the hypnotic state which immediately preceeds sleep. You probably also get anxious, worried that you're not going to fall asleep. The anxiety also prevents your brain from reaching the hypnotic state.
Instead, get comfortable, breathe slowly and deeply, focus on one spot on your ceiling, or focus on your alarm clock, and try as hard as you can to stay awake. If your eyes close, open them back up and fight the urge to sleep. If your mind wanders, that's good. Let your imagination go where it wants, but you must continue to focus on your spot. When you feel your eyelids get heavy, fight it. Try to keep them open. Don't ever give in. Sleep only comes when we're not watching for it.

try to exercise, dance, or do anything that involves moving. Like a sport. Then slowly approach your problem. (h/w, etc, stress)
