    Have you tried any sleep techniques?

I'm a fan of the tried and true method of closing your eyes and waiting for sleep to come. ;)

If that doesn't work at some point, you can watch this video. It's a Good Mythical Morning youtube video with Rhett and Link trying different unconventional sleep techniques. If nothing else, it might make you laugh.

I count my breaths. That usually helps.

I have another friend who counts backwards from 500 in 3s.

Asking people what they do to try to fall asleep when they are having trouble with it can be a fun conversation.

Doesn't always work perfectly, but lying flat on my back while doing a "body scan" relaxing any and all muscles starting from toes to head.
