Ask HN: How do you go to sleep quickly?

I would like to go to sleep much more quickly than I currently do. I often lie awake in bed for an hour or two before falling asleep. I typically get in bed at a reasonable and consistent time (almost always before 10:30pm, often before 10:00). I would like to be asleep by 10:00pm and wake up by 5:30am. When I do fall asleep quickly, I have no problem waking up without an alarm at a reasonable time.

Short of taking drugs to assist in falling asleep, do you have any suggestions for how to fall asleep more quickly? What has worked for you?
