A drug like ambien is excellent for short-term relief when you are finding it difficult to get to sleep, but it should not be used over a longer period of time than necessary. You should take some of the responsibility for getting your sleep pattern back under control. Insomnia is often caused by anxiety, stress and depression. So, as a first step, look for ways in which to relieve those causes. Then, more generally, look at the following: • People sleep best in a room that is dark and quiet. That means looking at the curtains to keep out light. Thick material may also help to form a barrier against noise. • Always go to bed at the same time. • Never catch a nap in the afternoon — save all your tiredness to the night. • It is easier to sleep when it is cool even though this may mean using more bedding. If you live in a hot climate, use a fan. If it is cool, turn down the central heating. • Don’t drink coffee or other drinks with caffeine in them. It can take up to eight hours for the stimulant to clear your system. • Don’t drink a lot of liquid close to your normal time for bed. If your bladder wakes you up, you may find it difficult to get back to sleep. Alcohol can also lead to disturbed sleep and a hangover the following morning. • Don’t eat within three hours of your normal sleep time. • Avoid exercising, playing video games, watching television, reading or doing anything else that might grab your interest and keep you awake. Find activities that are relaxing and put you in the mood for sleep. • Take a warm bath or shower about 30 minutes before going to bed. It is easier to sleep as your body cools. Re-establishing the habit of sleep is the best long-term remedy. If that fails, ambien will give you some relief.

I used to have sleeping problems a while back, it would take me ages to fall asleep so I came up with ways to fall asleep a little quicker and things to do before bed.
I normally drink a tall glass of warm milk before bed, just sitting there watching some tv, with the lights off and the TV low. Then I started counting backwards from 100 (or 200) depending on how much difficulty I was having that night. Count slowly and get everything else off your mind. After a while, I realized that it was the bed I was sleeping on that was giving me trouble. My husband and I bought a new bed, and it turns out I was having trouble sleeping because my previous bed was way to soft for me. I sleep better on a more firm mattress. Wish you the best of luck

I always start to pass out after reading a couple websites in a row.(then again its always after a long day of school with barely any sleep) Like fmylife then PerezHilton. But I suppose that is just to nap.
Try that or reading a book. Drink warm tea with honey (non caffeinated of course)
There is always medication such as ambien or anti-anxiety pills. Also try to keep a regular sleep pattern. Eat healthy foods. Junk food messes with your system. Exercise regularly (but not at nighttime as it releases endorphins causing you to stay awake) Also whenever I took a cold medication when I was sick that was made for the nighttime, I slept for a very long time. I have a lot of trouble sleeping as well so if that can knock me out, it should help you as well. B vitamins help turn your food into energy so avoid foods with B vitamins in them. I take a super b-complex when I’m really tired from not sleeping or something. it turns your pee neon! lol
Good luck in your endeavors!
Relax.
