Reading textbooks doesn't work if you're interested in the subject. If you're a software engineer, writing code doesn't help either. Doing anything you like to do doesn't work.

One thing that helps me is playing a very lengthy fiction audiobook like LOTR or ASOIAF while I lay in bed with the lights off. I love those books, but I usually get tired after listening to a chapter and fall asleep within the next 15 minutes. Note that this is at 4-5am... so... it's not like I've solved my problem.
