Many causes: You can try avoiding alcohol at least an hour before bed, get daily exercise, go to bed at the same time each night, keep your bed only for sleeping, if you can't get to sleep within 15 minutes get up and do something quiet until you are tired and try again, and you can try melatonin. Otherwise i would suggest you see a sleep specialist.

Sleep hygiene tips: Try any that apply: 1) Keep a regular sleep schedule (same time in/out of bed), 2) quiet, dark room - no TV/music, 3) use bedroom only for sleep/marital relations, 4)if no sleep in 20min, leave room until sleepy, then try again (repeat as needed), 5)No caffeine after noon/no alcohol at bedtime, 6)write worries in a journal by bedside, then deal with them next day,7) No success in 6 weeks? See doc.
