I agree with this COMPLETELY - the computer does something to your brainwaves, I have lain awake for hours if I just got offline. Read or listen to music for 30 minutes, no problem.

My other tips - make sure feet are warm, room is dark, and move the electric clock away from near your head. It also interferes with brain waves (electro magnetic field).

Also if I don't get some vigorous exercise during the day it is hard to fall asleep at night.
