    I used to have the same problem. First, I used to drink alcohol. Just a little, enough to get a buzz and make lying down feel great.

    Then I started working out, walking and subway sandwiches... and I've dropped 6 sizes!

    hmm 8 doctors... damn... why don't they perscribe you something?

    it's not stress or anything?

    if i'm not stressed i usually imagen myself somewhere comfortable like the back of a big fluffy dragon, flying to someplace wonderful or think about cuddleing with someone, or something, that i'm attracted to or whatnot.

    or i watch a movie that makes me comfortable and since i've seen it so much, i just drift off before it's over. (star trek episodes, harry potter movies, the lord of the rings...)

    if i am stressed i drink a beer or a glass of wine and do all of the above.

    one of my friends sort of meditates to sleep by visualizing a warmly lit blue ball sinking further and further under water (or something like that, i don't really remember)

    how long have you had problems falling asleep?

    chamomile tea
    warm milk and honey
    meditate before bed
    Dont' do anything in your bed except sleeping

    there are also some herbal sleeping pills you can get. Nice because they're usually pretty mild (make you tired, but don't make you unfunctional) and it's ok to have a little alcohol that evening as well (hey, a half or full glass of wine helps make me sleepy too... if that doesn't work, sometimes I'll take a sleeping pill)
    The ones my mom and I use have Valerian root, passion flowers, hops an dlemon balm herb. yes they say to avoid alcoholic beverages with, but a drink doesn't interact terribly with them. Being drunk then taking a bunch would be very bad, but a little of one and a little of the other isn't terrible
