When worried or too keyed up about things to sleep, you could try this, which I find helpful. Just take a sheet of notepaper and write down everything you're thinking of that's making your thoughts twirl. Commit ALL your immediate worries to the sheet and to God, freeing yourself up to sleep -- and the paper will hold onto the list for you, until you wake up. Maybe this sounds somewhat silly, but it does work for me, anyway...

I've tried that before, but my mind always goes totaly blank when I want to do something like that, which then frustrates me makeing it harder to sleep.

What I find even worse than haveing trouble getting to sleep is when I have stress-dreams, basicly I either relive the previous days experiance or dream about worrying about my problems. The worst are, when a couple days after a big test or some such thing, after the stress is gone and I'm not worried about it any more, I'll dream I'm takeing the test and doing reeeeaaallllyyy bad. Then I'll wake up all scared and thinking I need to study more then I remeber I already took the friggin test. Very annoying.
