I go smoke out with Jonesie's BIL.
Nah. few shots of vodka, walmart brand unisom, 1/2 a melatonin tablet.
That's my go-to concoction if I have been Sunday Fundayin' it with booze and adderall and need to go to sleep around 10-11.

I don't typically have trouble falling asleep, it's sleeping through the night that I can't do. I have a fitbit and it says last night I got 4 1/2 hours of sleep, being fully awake twice and restless 15 times. So out of the 7 hours and 21 minutes I was in bed I was awake or restless for 2 hours and 51 minutes.
Melatonin and Zquil do nothing. I had a sleep study and don't have apnea, and work out 4 mornings a week at 6:00 AM, so it's not lack of exercise. prescription sleep aids scare the crap out of me, but with the new link between lack of sleep and dementia/Alzheimer's I may reconsider...

Follow the work of Kirk Parsley (post above) and Dan Pardi (Stanford researcher)
Vitamin D and Magnesium are also low hanging fruit (go to examine.com) and read up on both. Majority of the populace is deficient (I have posted studies on vitamin D deficiencies before)

Cancel your TV service. This will make you get chores for the next day complete at night, allowing your mind to relax. Read a book when you are finished with those. There is some teas that facilate sleep. Check those out. Key is to remove distractions 2-3 hours before sleep, and allow your mind to relax. This is assuming you don't have a medical problem.

The delightful and oh-so-Deutsche word for a circadian rhythm factor is zeitgeber. If you spend your workday indoors but watch TV and browse the web at night, work mostly alone during the day but socialize at night, and sit virtually motionless during the day but exercise at night, you’re effectively flipping three of the most important zeitgebers on their heads. So rather than investigating sleep supplements, let’s look into zeitgebers first.
The king of all zeitgebers is blue light. This light wavelength suppresses your body’s melatonin production. During the day, if you look up at the sky, you’ll see a free and powerful source of blue light: the sun. If you see the sun’s glorious light during the day, and shut off lights at night, hormones that vary throughout the day (such as cortisol and melatonin) are more likely to vary in the way you’d want them to.

Terrible for sleep quality. You might fall asleep, but you become restless in a few hours.
Diphenhydramine (benadryl) leaves me hungover. Doxylamine succinate (unisom) worked better for me.
But nothing works better that exercise and a clear conscience.

Do you drink every night?

Take Excedrin PM and see how many times you can masturbate. Be asleep in no time.
