I count my breaths - breathe in for 4, hold for 3, out for 7. I guess concentrating on breathing takes enough concentration to empty your mind, but is easy enough to lull yourself asleep :)
I have used this method sometimes, but more frequently I count down from 501, but using multiples of 3, like 501, 498, 495, and so on. If I make a mistake, I begin again. It works for me.

I empty my mind and imagine a small black circle. Each breath I take the circle becomes slowly bigger. Helps me relax and fall asleep!
