After midnight and still not tired...

It's strange how your body clock doesn't seem to work as it should. I am sure it's down to diet and work and stress etc. which has a strong impact on this sort of thing? I remember the wost bout of insomnia though was when I was about 17, I couldn't ever get to sleep at a reasonable hour no matter how hard I tried. I think I drove myself to distraction in all the efforts I went to, from opening the window wide to ventilate the room and cool down a stuffy room, to exercising during the day to wear myself out, to not eating anything that may not agree with me.... you name it I probably did it and of course it was ironic laying there wide awake thinking of nothing more than how much I'd rather be asleep.
Now, several years on, I'm still no better - reflecting on anything and everything and not seeming to crack the code that is - just how the hell am I supposed to get some rest when my mind and body seem to have other ideas?! Does anyone have tips on how to beat insomnia?
