Feel tired, switch off PC, check front and back doors are locked and head for bathroom. Brush teeth, wash face, fall into bed and I'm out cold in less than five minutes.
My wife finds that amusing as well as a little annoying, since she always has problems falling asleep. (And, no, that's not because I'm sawing logs next to her - she's one of those people who lays in bed pointlessly worrying about all kinds of crap.)
Most people find a bedtime routine helpful. I think one of the most important things is to keep bed for sleeping (and sex, obviously), and never eat, look at your phone, call someone or watch something on a screen of any sort while you're in bed. Reading is slightly different, I suppose, but it's not something I've ever been able to do since the instant my head hits the pillow, I'm on my way to oblivion. The point is to train your mind to associate bed with nothing other than sleeping.
