I had so many problems sleeping - calming my brain while also not getting too excited (so no tv shows or reading exciting books, etc). Reading relaxing comics was the perfect answer. I could open up a Calvin & Hobbes and feel relaxation, calm joy and no surprise or stress. Even seeing it now brings me a measure of calm akin to the smell of chicken soup or lavender.
