Every once in a great while, I have a bout of insomnia, but not often. Of course, it usually happens the night before I need to get up extra early or have to make a long drive the next day :)
I find excitement keeps me up, like getting up in the morning for a fishing trip, or going camping and whatnot. Also, things that make me think deeply like a good book or movie. Sometimes I am able to shut down all my thinking and just lay there for a few minutes never quite knowing the time I do actually fall asleep. I always found that fascinating... those few moments before falling sleep.
Lucky, I had issues with that a while back and now that I go to sleep on schedule and without any electronics I get a good night sleep almost always.

You're probably right about being kept up by 'excitement' coming up. Just wish I could avoid it before long drives :)
I pretty much turn off like a light bulb when I go to sleep. Unless the TV is on in the room, then it might take a few minutes.
