This is a brief exploration of sleep in the context of mindfulness, there are classically many things you can do to set a context for better sleep.  However, when you are laying in bed, and there is a sense of not getting to sleep.  Often anxiety is a major factor in not sleeping coming from actually and paradoxically trying to get to sleep. It does not have to be like that, we can reframe how we get to sleep. We can instead focus on resting and not trying to get to sleep. Setting ourselves up for failure and further anxiety.   Resting all night will allow you to function the next day ok, rather than with anxiety generated through not sleeping by trying to get to sleep!  With resting we can just invite a sense of contact with the mattress, sensing contact with what ever is underneath you and letting the muscles soften. Being available to resting, perhaps working from the feet upwards etc.  The breathing inviting a natural rhythm, which becomes more prolonged and becomes longer on the out breath. And if you like placing your hand on your tummy or chest if anything is agitated in you.   And if it helps you can invite a pleasant scenario, somewhere in nature, or somewhere you can remember that is very very comforting. Maybe hearing the sounds that you herd maybe it was a sunrise or sunset, maybe it was the sound of rain, something inviting comforting, some lazy day or lazy night, some realm, someplace that s safe and comfortable. Allowing the body to rest in each ion and out breath, If the body wants to fall asleep or drop off to sleep in its own time, it will in its own time.
