You can lie on your bed, focus on your breathing and imagine each part of your body becoming very heavy and sinking into your mattress... Some teas are also good for a better sleep.

Try and not be on your phone/computer before bed. If you listen to calming music and read, you generally create a better mental space for your mind to sleep.

Creating bedtime rituals. E.g. bath before bed followed by moisturizing and then reading in bed till you sleep. Follow these rituals every night. Another way is by eliminating caffeine from your diet.

Get an app on your smart phone that has white noise or relaxing sounds to help you fall asleep and refrain from watching television or going on the computer in the same environment where you sleep.

One natural way that I use is tea. Certain kinds of tea are meant to relax your body. Some even have Melatonin in them, which is the chemical that helps regulate sleep.

Set a regular bedtime. Go to bed at the same time every night. Choose a time when you normally feel tired, so that you don’t toss and turn. Try not to break this routine on weekends when it may be tempting to stay up late. If you want to change your bedtime, help your body adjust by making the change in small daily increments, such as 15 minutes earlier or later each day. Wake up at the same time every day. If you’re getting enough sleep, you should wake up naturally without an alarm. If you need an alarm clock to wake up on time, you may need to set an earlier bedtime. As with your bedtime, try to maintain your regular wake-time even on weekends. Nap to make up for lost sleep. If you need to make up for a few lost hours, opt for a daytime nap rather than sleeping late. This strategy allows you to pay off your sleep debt without disturbing your natural sleep-wake rhythm, which often backfires in insomnia and throws you off for days. Be smart about napping. While taking a nap can be a great way to recharge, especially for older adults, it can make insomnia worse. If insomnia is a problem for you, consider eliminating napping. If you must nap, do it in the early afternoon, and limit it to thirty minutes. Fight after-dinner drowsiness. If you find yourself getting sleepy way before your bedtime, get off the couch and do something mildly stimulating to avoid falling asleep, such as washing the dishes, calling a friend, or getting clothes ready for the next day. If you give in to the drowsiness, you may wake up later in the night and have trouble getting back to sleep.

Excercise exhausts your body physically, don't drink caffeine in the evening and don't eat large meals before going to bed.

1. Try avoiding naps during day time, or try to limit them to max of 20-25 minutes 2. Avoid blue light at least before two hours of your bed time 3.Trying reading a book (no e-books) before going to sleep (this really works, but it can counteract if the book is too good to keep it down :P) 4. Try maintaining a schedule...fix hours for starting and ending your day 5.Regular exercise, but not right before your bed time 6.Cut down your caffeine intake 7. You can use apps like rainy mood or whatever you prefer..to relax yourself before going to sleep
