You may want to try some light meditation. Some nights I can't get to sleep because the mind keeps going, but I find that if I do some slow, Yoga-style breathing, I'm out pretty quickly. It's just a technique where you breathe deeply through the stomach, rather than through the lungs. As you can see, this kind of thing isn't that rare--I get that way as well. I can alleviate the feeling often by reading a book, or calling up a friend, or just people-watching at a local hangout; you might want to keep a journal, assuming you don't already. Just something to keep your thoughts from being pent-up.
If none of that works, I do recommend seeking some therapy. It doesn't mean you have a "problem"--it could mean you just have a knot in your head that you can't untie by yourself.
