This is a list of ways to help you get some rest, especially at night. I have included a few I personally practice.
Go to your happy placeClose your eyes and think of a place you would love to be. As examples, you are at a cottage, maybe the beach, maybe another country? What is so enticing and intriguing?
Count
Whether you count sheep or simply just count, counting over and over just might wear you out.
Deep breaths - Inhale/exhaleWhen you take deep breaths, this soothes your body and is very calming.

Get lost in resources that are just waiting for you to use. For example, learn something.
Play some white noise - such as a fanPersonally, I use a box fan, ceiling fan, tower fan and YouTube smoking cessation music, which you can listen to whether you smoke or not.
Use an essential oil diffuserEssential oil diffusers have been on the market for a while now so the cost has dropped. If you do not have an essential oil diffuser, you should really shop for one.

You may not believe it but some people have a cup of coffee or a cup of tea when unable to go to bed. Personally, I make a mocha.
