how can sleep faster?

An average person falls asleep between 5-10 minutes.
Randomly I sleep between 10-15+ but never get Insomnia.
What I do to sleep is, getting bored by doing something.
Just lay down on your bed while listening to this:

Well I use f.lux to stay up longer, but I'm sure it's just dependent on the user.
And on the settings. To which value have you set the color temperature for the night?

Besides sleeping disorders, there are many others elements that simply stop people in getting their deserved sleep. But this time is something that they are fully responsible for. I am talking about bad habits like:
thinking at all the problems they have, all the debts, work problems, health issues, instead of concentrating on falling asleep.
remembering something bad that happened to them, how someone insulted them or any other memory from the past that should stay in the past.
getting into bed with one thought in mind: “I will have one of those nights when I can’t fall asleep. Off, I wish I could sleep fast like my boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife. They are so lucky”. This just the type of attitude that is keeping you awake and keeps the sleep at a distance.
After a morning wake up and a lot of hours at work, we all want to just go home, take a shower, eat and enjoy a relaxing sleep. If you are one of those unlucky ones that crave for some sleep and most of the times you don’t get it, read the followings indications on how to fall asleep fast and apply them.
Tips to fall asleep faster
1. Just do it.
The best and simple tip on how to fall asleep quicker is to try to fall asleep. Some determination can really do miracles. Just think of all the good things that you will be able to do the next day if you only could learn how to fall asleep faster.
Imagine doing those things and feeling great about yourself, and just realize that you need to be rested if you want to have a great day tomorrow. Don’t try to put pressure on yourself! Just think of the end results that you will get if you could fall asleep faster tonight.
2. Avoid distraction.
Don’t look at TV or listen to music as it’s most likely these will keep you awake more than it should. So yes, learning how to fall asleep faster does require some sacrifices, but it will all be worth it.
3. Read a peaceful book.
Or a boring one. They both work for me. But do this until you go to bed because the idea is to fall asleep fast and not to read 100 pages in bed and then go to sleep. The moment you feel tired, put the book down and put your head on the pillow. This is the answer if you wanted to know how to fall asleep when not tired.
4. Get rid of distractions.
A simple yet effective tip on how to fall asleep very fast is this : put all the magazines, the remote control, fliers, books or any distraction away from the bed because this way you won’t be tempted to use them and you can fall asleep faster.

From reading this thread, I guess there's people that can't sleep with music and some do.
Well, I love falling asleep to music.
Not the typical hardcore techno or hard trance I listen during the day, but some calm progressive psy trance does it for me.
(I actually have better dreams listening to music, dunno why)

I have only night set to halogen, over the day, I'm using "daylight". Also, I have slow transitions enabled.
