Are there any methods that help one fall asleep faster?

Usually, reading my physiology text book puts me to sleep. in school. when I'm supposed to be studying the damn thing in the first place.
Other than that, I'm usually exhausted enough to just go home, fall onto my bed and release everything off my shoulders.
As was previously mentioned, if you can keep yourself busy all day (no rest) then the feeling of finally lying there in bed and letting go of the pressure in your head and the tenseness in your muscles is hella good! You'll never want to move, i promise you.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
