Next let go of all mental tension. remind yourself that all you have to do in the here and now is to lie back, and to enjoy the process of relaxing and falling asleep. Whatever happened during the day is in the past and can't be changed. Whatever deadlines you may have tomorrow can't be dealt with now. Having the luxury of not having to do anything can seem like a guilty pleasure, but that's what your mission is right now. ALLOW yourself to enjoy just relaxing for relaxing's sake. Whether or not it leads to sleep is academic - lying back with your eyes closed will still go some way to mentally refreshing you. Sleep isn't an all-or-nothing affair, it has stages, and simply relaxing is the first stage.
Next just let your mind wander. If you had an argument with somebody during the day, see their face now and let your unconscious mind say exactly what's on your mind to them. Don't try to consciously verbalise the words, let them come straight from the subconscious. It might come out as gobbledygook, but that's fine. Let other sights and sounds come unbidden, linger on them as long as you like and no longer, then move onto the next mental image. What starts as a chaotic and unlinked sequence will probably gravitate towards some train of thoughts. Just let the visualisation be effortless, unlaboured and fluid. If you did this right, you're now dreaming
