Wow. This is hard to do because broken ribs are very painful. Try to find a place to get comfortable first. Wrapping the chest tightly to prevent most movement can help. Once you get halfway comfortable you can fall asleep if sleepy enough. It should get better after a few days.
Added 3/2014 - Depending on how many fractures and where the above is good. But in my experience I couldn't sleep because I wasn't getting enough oxygen at night. Naturally it was difficult to breathe deeply with broken ribs. I found by NOT wrapping my ribs I was able to get more oxygen at night and found sleep easier. Although it was more difficult to find a comfortable position. So it depends on how you personally feel. But the oxygen was the key for me. I also took 2 TBS of Calcium/Magnesium liquid to help my muscles relax before bed and that helped.
