Take a warm shower, eliminate caffeine, talk to a friend or significant other about what is stressing you, get your eyes tired by reading or knitting, which also helps to calm you down.

Some techniques are listening to relaxing music, such as the ocean waves. Deep breathing and counting sheep are great too. Sweet dreams! :)

Reading. Reading things that you find boring really helps to fall asleep quick! Plus reading helps as a great distraction from the mind chatter

Try to calm down and slow your thoughts. A good way to do this is to either read a light-hearted but interesting book on a chair or couch (anything that is not your bed) and then try to fall asleep once you feel tired. Another way to calm your brain is to just go through everything you've done that day. Soon your thoughts will drift off topic. If neither of these work, try sleeping somewhere else for tonight.

Take a shower and listen to some calm and soothing music. Meditation or some mindfulness practice would also help you in getting a better sleep.

ASMR videos! Just go on YouTube and search for an ASMR video that you'd like to try out. It's a very easy method, but it helps a lot against stress. A cup of tea with honey or a few twigs of lavender underneath your pillow might be helpful as well. (:

One technique I use often is that I think the next day out step by step, saying "First I need to go through this, then this.." and it helps make my problems seem smaller. To fall asleep, I count backwards from 100.

Listen to music, think of the good times, read a good book, watch the stars, or even, take a solitary walk.
