Answers:
First the obvious things...... Don't drink coffee, tea or other stimulants within several hours of bedtime.. Take a hot bath before bed.. Drink warm milk.. These things help you to fall asleep in the first place..
To stay asleep...... try ear plugs, in case you are being awakened by house-noises in the night.. Otherwise, if you're lying there awake for more than 30 minutes, get out of bed.. Walk around the house, go to the toilet, perhaps a cup of chamomile or peppermint tea to soothe you.. Read a book or a magazine for 15 minutes, then go back to bed and try again.. But don't stay in bed if you are tossing and turning, because it just makes it worse.. You pretty much have to start over.. I read in bed, I find it makes me sleepier and lets me sleep much better, perhaps it's a kind of self-hypnosis..
If all else fails, see your doctor or pharmacist.. There are over-the-counter medications that can help you stay asleep, but these are only meant for occasional use..

If the problem continues and you are suffering from sleep deprivation, you really need to see a doctor..Health Question & Answer

If you smoke, try a smoking a little Hash or marijuana..

If you are into music listen to Ambient or any kind of calming music before you sleep, while laying in bed..

or you could try directing all of your awareness towards your breath, until it calms you and you fall asleep..Health Question & Answer

My Aunt had that same problems, ask the doctor what sleeping pills will work, if none work, ask them to do a test on you (they study your brain while your sleeping) and then they'll be able to fix it.. :)

also Warm milk helps for me, get a glass of milk and microwave it for 30-50 secondsHealth Question & Answer

Oh, been there, done that.. What helped me:
warm glass of milk(believe it or not, it tastes good after awhile) or sleepytime tea
a 1/2 glass wine if ur old enuf
close ur eyes and count sheep or think over ur day
melatonin vitamins, help alot
stay in dark room to sleep
turn a fan on and snuggle in a blanket
calming music like the ocean (death cab 4 cutie and augustana are my favorites to sleep, just keep it low)
turn off the computer/tv b4 trying to sleep...... dont eat 2 hrs near bedtime
exercise ahead of time, but not directly b4 to tire u out
read a good book until ur eyes can no longer stay open
etc..
