Its gonna sound weird but I rub my butt... it relaxes me for some reason lol
I imagine a black TV turning off and focus on the black screen, put my mind all in black. I don't think about anything, just in black, and I fall asleep.
My relaxation routine for the best night's sleep is pretty finely tuned. I turn off all my appliances - my phone etc. I get a glass of milk (cold). I drink it slowly in the living room whilst watching an episode or two of a TV show, preferably on a real TV rather than my laptop, with the lights dimmed by not totally off. My perfect pre-bed viewing is a light-hearted British sitcom, something like Alan Partridge or The Office or the IT Crowd or Gavin and Stacey. I have a list which I'm working through. When I've watched about half an hour I turn everything off and go to bed.
Start thinking on concepts (cars, boats, planes...) . I like thinking on vehicle concepts, sketching them in my head. Thinking through all the details, imagining the finished product. That usually puts me to sleep quickly.
As for cuddling with my girlfriend. No, that puts me in the mood for love... Sleep would be the last thing on my mind XD
Other. Anything that requires me to actively be doing something keeps me awake. My music isn't mellow enough to fall asleep to, and if I use books to fall asleep I end up forgetting most of what I was reading.
I either listen to the radio or I download long videos of video game TAS runs (TAS = Tool-Assisted Speedrun), and fall asleep watching them. It's not surfing since I download the videos beforehand and don't watch them until I'm going to sleep.
I guess I could have voted listening to music since I sometimes listen to the radio but it's all talk radio...
