I crawl into bed, read a bit of something totally different until I feel relaxed, then turn the lights off and lie down and let my mind just drift over the story I'm trying to write, entertaining any and all possibilities, no matter how ridiculous or wrong. If you fall asleep, that's okay. You were probably too tired anyway. Think about it just a few minutes at a time tomorrow, in between doing other things. Or even casually *while* you are doing other things. Don't dwell. Don't stress. That's what causes writer's block anyway, that pressure to GET SOMETHING ON PAPER. Remember these writing things are supposed to be fun!
I know it sounds simplistic, but it always works for me. ;)
