I also would suggest weed.
0.7 grams of hydro would have me laughing myself to sleep, one or 2 blasts does the trick for me.

Check out that image. It is a chart that shows the efficacy of different motion sickness drugs.
Note that amphetamine (w/ scopolamine) is the most effective...

I'll have to side with the weed camp, but melatonin comes in a close second.
The good thing about melatonin is that it actually makes you "tired" as opposed to "drowsy" so it actually feels like you're going to sleep naturally and not fighting to stay awake while some chemical puts you out. And you can be fairly liberal with the dosage, they usually sell them in 3 mg tablets and even with 5 or 6 of them the worst that will happen to you is that you oversleep (personally I've never needed more than one).
5-htp is okay but you're adding an extra step in the metabolization (5-htp -> serotonin -> melatonin), and if the problem is jet lag or just a screwed-up sleep cycle then chances are your brain is not producing melatonin at all and the 5-htp won't help. 5-htp is great for getting more restful sleep but doesn't usually *put* you to sleep when you've got insomnia.
From personal experience I can say that 7 or 8 shots of sambuca also works. 
i noticed that i can't fall asleep if my feet are cold.. so i just put on a nice fuzzy pair of socks and it works like a charm
reading helps too..
I find warm milk or tea does not work if Im in a restless mode. Im sure it doesnt help that I do shift work, so it seems every day I change my sleep cycle by 8 hours!
Ive been wanting to get my hands on some nozinan for a good nights sleep, that will kick the shite out of lorazepam!
try layin' off the drugs - they all cause anxiety and stress - making your body not able to sleep - Drugs are not always the answer - maybe try some herbal stuff, go to a special herbal store...
Drugs are bad on your liver too...
DRUGs ARe Bad!
hahah
good night
sweet dreams

melatonin is highly addictive, but it works really really well. So if you do do the melatonin thing, make sure it doesn't become the norm.
Other ways, I don't mind taking back a couple shots of liquor, just enough to get the muscles relaxed, and get my mind to stop wandering.
Weed doesn't work well for me, I'm very sensitive to hallucinogens, and I end up getting a terrible tossing, semi-conscious sleep with weed.
But the best way, I've found is meditation, no joke. If you know how to meditate, using that to clear your mind before going to bed works wonders.

glass of warm milk...
Insomnia u say....
try this...(used it last nite), do 20 minutes of pushups and then in bed 15 minutes of arm, neck and back stretches.
And...for a really sound sleep get under a warm blanket, turn your digital channels to INSTR 736 (with Rogers) for the max trax memories galaxie music...it's usually some soft piano with violins.....(don't forget to program auto shut-off for 2 hrs later).......then relax, look at the blue screen and go to ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
working out definitely works for me
read a dynamics text book, that should do the trick
