It is not an easy question actually.

In different times, different things helped.

Usually I like to think before falling a sleep, and I just fell a sleep in the middle of the thought.

But what can help:

1.) Wind down routine before sleep. So basically off-phone/off-computer time 1 hour before sleep. So I have 1 our to prepare for next day and read.

2.) Read before sleep. Book, and not computer. Tires the eyes, which helps to fall asleep.

3.) "Anchoring" sleep for bed. So try to only sleep in your bed, do not read there, etc. If you condition your mind to sleep in bed, you will fall a sleep easier.

4.) Concentrate on relaxing your body before sleep.

5.) No caffeine in the afternoon.

Sometimes I am really in thinking mood, then 4.) helps, but since I am doing 1.) 2.) 5.) I didn't need it. So this is kind of a toolbox in my opinion, that you can use.
