Used to be, I had to ponder the entirety of life and existence before I fell asleep every night. In recent times this has eased up a little.
Did your parents read to you at all? One of my kids has trouble being alone in bed at night, that's the primary issue, is he feels removed from the feast of life, if you will. I find reading to him or making up a story or singing (when he was younger) or watching something with him seems to make it go away, even if he doesn't fall asleep while it's happening. He just needs one more connecting moment before letting go, or to know someone loves him and isn't ever going to forget about him.
