you could try sleeping pills though I dont suggest it. Try reading before you go to bed or watching tv, it will make your eyes tired. Or try turning of the light and closing your eyes and counting sheep. Maybe have a friend stay with you.

my boyfriend works nights a lot of the time and for the first 3 months it was SO hard for me to get to sleep I had to be absolutely exhausted before I could sleep.
reading does help, but don't read anything scary!
some other things that helped me are:
ok this one's kinda gross, I sleep in his dirty t-shirt, not too stinky, but smelling him helped.
I arrange the extra pillows so I can hug them.
I get in bed at the same time every night, even if I'm not tired.
