But I would read a boring book or do math homework.
Bad advice. Boredom is the brain's restless state when conscious processing is low. If you're bored and you fall asleep, you fall asleep because you need sleep, not because you're bored.
OP, if you have tried over the counter drugs to help you fall asleep and you still can't, there isn't much you can do. All you can really do is relax your brain to as low of a level as possible by doing a relaxing activity, such as light reading or taking a warm bath.
However, if your insomnia is long-term, that is, if has been preventing sleep for more than a few days, where it is actually insomnia and not just a chance inability to sleep, try to create an organized sleep schedule for yourself. You can also not drink caffeine or ingest other stimulants, or take naps during the day, these prevent sleep later on. Also, avoiding high carb foods helps too.
That's all the advice I can really give, sorry.
