I have a similar problem. Thinking = not sleeping...
For me, cooling myself down works wonderfully;
Try taking a cool shower (as cold as is comfortable). Don't dry your hair thoroughly, so it cools you down more. Ice-cubes are convenient too. I ice my wrists, and run it down my arms (because I figure it's the fastest way to take the most heat out), and I also melt a few in my my mouth.
Make sure your bed isn't too hot.
[You don't need to make yourself Cold, just give yourself a hand cooling down to the temperature that your body might usually fall to when you sleep]
I guess this might be different for different people.

well if you have a tv in your room try watching tv for 15-30 minutes(put it on sleep timer if you have it) and most likely you will call asleep.
another way is listen to the radio on and whidper/sing to all the songs and you kind of drift away.
and dont think about going to sleep, it makes it harder
