I've been an insomniac most of my life and there have been few things that consistently work, but three things that work fairly well for me are melatonin, valarian root, and diphenhydramine. Melatonin can only be taken for a short time because your body will get used to it quickly, mainly because it is naturally occuring in the body. Valarian root is great and I've never found it to decrease in effectiveness. Diphenhydramine works the best and can be purchased seperately from the cough medicine it is usually found in.
I now sleep amazingly well because my wife sleeps next to me, but I still get the jitters occasionally so I'll head downstairs and have a cup of Camomile tea with some mint and honey.
Alchohol is terrible for sleeping because it diminishes the quality of your sleep. Even given that though, I like to have a beer every now and again to calm me down.
