Maybe one or more of these ideas might help.
According to Rachel Salas, MD and professor of neurology at johns Hopkins, blowing bubbles, just like you did as a kid, can help you get to sleep faster.
The activity helps you to breath deeper and calms the body. And since it is silly, it might help to take your thoughts off of your worries.
Opening a book and reading a few pages while in bed can help relax your body and distract your mind from your worries.
Listening to soft, downtempo music can relax the body, lower blood pressure and prepare you for sleep.
