Hello conscience: I'm afraid I don't have any quick tips... I kind-of doubt there are any. The harder you try to sleep, the harder it gets to sleep... in my experience. I'm often awake late at night. What I do is to get up & do walking meditation. I walk slowly around-&-around the dark & quiet house for an hour or so, focusing light attention on each foot as it touches the floor. Thoughts come & thoughts go. I just let them pass at their own pace. Typically when I go back to bed, I'm able to go back to sleep. And, interestingly, I don't seem to feel particularly more tired for having been up for an hour or two in the middle of the night.
