              If you're the kind of person to keep yourself busy all day, then when you're trying to go to sleep might be the first time all day you've allowed your mind to wander!  You need to find some other time in the day to allow yourself to daydream.  Some tips are to not read anything while in the bathroom or turn the radio off in your car if you have a commute.  Maybe even schedule some time to sit and think about things if you can.
Only use your bed for sleep and sex.  Reading, eating, browsing on your phone, watching TV, or any other activity should be done elsewhere.  This way you train yourself that it's sleeptime when you're in bed.
This is probably something that can't be done if you have a rotating shift, but go to sleep on a regular schedule.  Go to sleep at the same time every day.  Staying up late should a rare occurrence.  Your body will become tired at the same time each day and it's much easier to fall asleep when you keep a schedule.
