Having trouble sleeping

Every blue moon I'll get in a rut where I've got a lot on my mind and can't fall asleep and end up taking a unisom. Well it's been going for 5 straight days and every night I end up getting the sweats and anxiety if I can't fall asleep within 10-15 minutes.
Any non medicine recommendations? I really don't want to be dependent on a sleeping pill, plus the hangovers are awful.

I used to have trouble sleeping every night and I started taking melatonin and running... My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

I get occasional anxiety and can't sleep sometimes too. It's mostly on a Sunday or Monday night when I know I have a whole fricking week ahead to get to the weekend.
Anyway, I refuse to be reliant on prescription medication. I take melatonin sometimes and it helps about half the time.
But someone on this board posted a thread in the last few weeks with a method of falling asleep "within one minute." And I shite you not, I have been doing this every night since I read the thread and while I don't fall asleep in one minute, it has been helping a ton.
It is a breathing pattern. 4 seconds inhale through the nose. Hold breath for 7 seconds. Exhale for 8 seconds through the mouth. It has really helped.
Found the thread

Hmmm. Exercise? Cut caffeine in the afternoon? Don't use electronics before bed....
