Lately, I've found that I have to get off the computer and do something to unwind several hours in advance of bedtime. For whatever reason, my brain is especially reactive to the computer (not so much to the TV though despite a lot of sources saying that both are on par for stimulation) and I can't just turn it off and go to bed unless I'm ready to collapse. Right now I've got a knitting project that I'm working on, a book I'm reading, and a game I'm playing on my DS as ways for me to unwind. A hot bath is also nice.
Try to form a routine for yourself at night. It doesn't matter what it is. It can be a cup of tea and a snack, an episode of your favorite show, or whatever. Just something that you can do every night before bed. Over time, your body will learn that those activities are signals that it's time to get sleepy and will actually start to respond that way.
Another thing that will help is being consistent in your waking up and going to bed routine. Might not be fun, but our bodies like, and respond to, habits.
