I used to be a vampire, still can be if I don't stay on my toes. Turning everything off an hour before I try to sleep and only reading helped as did 5 minute nothingness. Just sitting and focusing on my breathing, it's hard to empty the mind but I didn't force it and it kept getting easier.
Last is melatonin to reset the carcadian rhythms, you need to take it in the afternoon so it starts working.
