I don't usually have problems sleeping so I am not sure if this will be of much use but I have a cup of hot chocolate (taking it to bed with me) and settle down to read a book. After about 20 minutes I find I can't keep my eyes open.

I had terrible trouble sleeping a few years ago during the big M, and tried all the usual things such as warm baths, Horlicks etc. Someone recommended a herbal aid called Kalms, ( the original type) and after a week on them I actually started sleeping for at least 5 undisturbed hours at a time, which was a real breakthrough! I also started listening to talking books on my mp3 player in bed if I was awake and didn't want to disturb my husband. I found this passed the time and stopped me clock watching, although I sometimes woke up with my headphone wire nearly strangling me. I gather that you can get pillows with a speaker in now to avoid that problem.
Good luck.
