Melatonin - get synthetic ONLY and get it in milligrams, not micrograms.
It's over the counter.
If supplements are not your thing, here's a relaxation exercise:
Scrunch your whole body, every muscle, even your eye-lids, scrunch them nice and tight and inhale and hold it for ten seconds, then exhale while you think RELAX. Do that for ten minutes and you will feel great!
That's not enough, get comfortable, and very slowly let your toes relax, then your feet, then your ankles - work your way up, remember how it feels for them to be relaxed, spend fifteen seconds at least concentrating on each body part - I've never made it past my waiste.
I've personally used Unisom. It works well.
If you're still having problems, write me privately.

My best advice is the one I gave to another member a few minutes ago on the same subject. Here it is:
Many things could be wrong. You need to find out what they are, otherwise you will go on like this. Usually, a very common cause in these cases is the bad location/position of your bed or the sleeping room in general. I am serious, I know this from experience and know for a fact that this can really screw up your stability and be damaging to your health in many ways.
I would like to recommend you a book that is excellent in comprising almost everything that could be wrong and that you could help yourself into fixing it: "Moon time: The Art of Harmony" by Johanna Paungger and Thomas Poppe. You could also get another very useful one to complement it... both will probably be of great help providing you study it very carefully and apply it accuaretely (you will have to try a lot until you get most of this other one right, but it is worth it):
"The Feng Shui Handbook: How To Create A Healthier Living & Working Environment " by Lam Kam Chuen.
That is the best advice I can give you, since you are the only one who really knows yourself and how you live.

Exercise. Go for a jog or whatever athletic activity interests you. (doesn't have to be late at night) It makes me feel 100% better. By bedtime, even if I don't feel exhausted, I generally fall asleep fast. On the rare occasion that I don't work-out, I have trouble putting my body to rest. Almost like I still have tons of energy and things to think about. Exercise is also great mentally.
Reading a novel at night always helps me. Even if it's only a page or two. And do not do work in your bed. My father has developed a sleeping problem because he always sat in bed with his laptop. Work begins to be associated with bed.
good luck!

Go to bed only when you're sleepy.
If you can't sleep, get out of bed.
Use the bedroom only for sleeping (no reading, TV, etc.)
Get up at the same time every morning.
Don't nap.
Ease stress through meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and other methods.
Challenge your beliefs about sleep (for instance, don't worry about sleep).
Curb bedroom light and noise.
Lead a healthy lifestyle.
Meditation usually involves slow, regular breathing and sitting quietly for 15 to 20 minutes.
Here is how it works;
While inhaling, contract one muscle group (for example your upper thighs) for five to ten seconds, then exhale and suddenly release the tension in that muscle group.
Give yourself ten to 20 seconds to relax, then move on to the next muscle group (for example your buttocks).
While releasing the tension, try to focus on the changes you feel when the muscle group is relaxed. Imagery may be helpful in conjunction with the release of tension, such as imagining that stressful feelings are flowing out of your body as you relax each muscle group.
Gradually work your way up the body contracting and relaxing muscle groups.
People who suffer from insomnia often report that practicing progressive muscle relaxation at night helps them fall asleep. Progressive muscle relaxation is also an excellent tool to help learn about the body and the signals it may bet telling you. With practice and time, you can learn to accurately identify and diminish the signs and signals of stress and tension in your body.

try taking some iron pills for the black circles...and reading before bed...reading puts me right to sleep. Get a big thick book and keep it beside your bed.

okay i've heard that two things can help
1. the smell of lavander by your bedside can help
2. something that provides backround noise (like a clock that makes rainforest noises)
also do those things plus whatever you are already doing
