Here's some suggestions ascendent gave me:
1) warm milk - natural sedative which dates back to our childhood
2) lavendar n vanilla pillow mist - naturally calming scents, combo can be found at bath n body works
3) the mellow music - gregorian chant, enya, sounds of nature, anything relaxing
4) meditation
5) melatonin - it's a chemical naturally produced by the body, and therefore won't compromise sleep
6) warm bath, even better one with epsom salts - excellent way to calm the nerves
7) if all else fails, diphenhydramine hcl - this is an otc sleep-aid pill which is also an allergy med. from my understanding, using this occasionally will not compromise sleep very much, but an overuse of it will, so use this sparingly for no more than 4 or 5 days straight at most
