I have a pretty rigid routine. Early to bed (I'm usually up very early) phone goes on airplane mode. My tablet I put on a repeat of a Family Guy episode but cover the screen. I just listen as I know them all pretty much by heart and my brain always thinks that it must be late as FG used to be on pretty late. I'm usually soundly off within 10 mins. If I can't get off to sleep I'll restart the same episode and it usually does the trick
The key for me is giving my mind enough distraction that it doesn't start throwing out things for me to think about.
