Not that it'll cure your insomnia, but you could always try a white noise generator. I simply use a fan to create noise, and I can't sleep without it anymore.
If you do decide to use OTC medication, I've been using Zzzz-Quil with some moderate results. It's essentially Ny-Quil without the DXM or acetaminophen, which doesn't knock me out, but it does seem to make me sleep more soundly. Of course, there's a bit of a trade-off in that it makes me feel a little groggy the next day.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
