A good aromatherapy solution is three drops of lavender and three drops of marjoram essential oils in a not-too-hot bath. A herbal remedy Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) has been shown to improve sleep quality with no morning sleepiness. Take 45 minutes before bedtime.
Good herbal remedies are passion flower, hops, valerian, chamomile and skullcap - you'll find them in health food shops as teas, tablets or liquids.
Why can't you sleep - is it because you are lying there worrying about not being able to sleep - try putting a radio your bed - turned down low enough not disturb anyone else in the house - listen to a talk show - concentrate on that not on the things going round in your head. Paint a picture, plan the layout of a garden, imagine you are lying on a beach with the waves lapping on the shore and the sun just gently warming your body - do anything you enjoy doing in your head, gradually your thoughts will turn into a dream and you will have floated off to sleep. All of the above cost nothing.

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress, dietary and medical problems. By making small lifestyle changes like having a fixed daily routine, relaxing and eating properly, insomnia can be cured. I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/jfzpz useful for getting sleep.
