Sometimes I do the counting thing, or vary it by counting backwards from 100. Not that it always works. Or I try a mantra-like thing, getting really comfortable (not so easy at our stage in life, I know), regulating my breathing, then silently repeating, "Go to sleep," as non-forcefully as I can think it (sort in time with my breathing).
