The main thing to do is turn off the tv. That's number one. Keep iPhone, iPad use to a min. That's why most of the population can't sleep, all we do is watch tv and get on our iPads at night. The rest is up to you, you can read a book, another method is to listen to movie or video, something with your eyes closed. Thats proven to make you fall asleep kind of like a kid getting read a bedtime story. Also telling yourself ahead of time you will sleep helps too, it's telling your mind subliminally. They say your body listens to you.
even a little light from an iPad, phone or TV can prevent the brain from producing melatonin. I read a book when I can't sleep and I usually only make it a few pages.

AIM/FAR will kill brain cells.....
And if you want a full on coma, Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators, methamphetamine is the only known opposer, but only for a short period....

Might get crap for this one, wouldn't be the first time. Breathing exercises. No kidding. Slow deep breaths in, (8sec.) hold for 10secs., slow exhale(8sec), Yes, even Yoga. I hadn't slept a good night in 55 years until recently. When the laughing subsides, give it a try. Wish I had believed in it years ago.

In all honesty.. if you are a caffeine drinker, lay off of it. This job gives you unlimited free caffeine, and discount caffeine. Your body naturally doesnt need that stuff. Stick to the water. You'll tired out by the end of your day guaranteed.
The amount of caffeine consumed in this industry is terrible.
