There are things you can actually do. Here are few tips for making yourself fall into a nice deep sleep.

Does the mattresses soft enough not to cause your back to ache? Do you have enough pillows and are they soft enough for your neck? How about the sheet? Is the fabric soft and cozy enough for your skin?
Recognize the things that can make you fall asleep. What are the things that your body responds to? If you are a kind of person who can’t sleep with even a tiny single light, then make sure that your room is dark enough for you. If you are easily awake by the sound of a single drop of water, then avoid having a bedroom near the street. Temperature is an important key too.
