I can associate with what you're talking about. Having big thoughts about life when everything's quiet late at night.
I remember reading something by a doctor/therapist that said don't do daytime things like reading, using a laptop, watching tv in bed because it forges a mental associated with bedtime that is anything other than sleep, which is bad. Like someone else said, a bedtime ritual is a good idea.
Also, I find it helpful to be really tired when i eventually go to bed. Luckily work is busy and I usually go for a run/to the gym after work, so by the end of the day I'm both mentally and physically tired. If you don't already do much exercise this could really help. I imagine being sat at a desk all day is a a direct factor in people not sleeping that well.
Hope it clears up for you
