For your sleep I recommend you pick up some Kava Kava, Valerian Root and some chamomile tea (Sleepytime by Celestial Seasonings is very good). Also, Melatonin has worked quite well for me. Avoid OTC sleep aids as they actually have caffeine in them. Drink your tea as you read a book before retiring. If you use sweetener, use Splenda in place of sugar, because the sugar will jack you up.
I would take one melatonin tab an hour before bedtime, make a big cup of tea (I use 2 bags) and curl up with a good book. It's also good to get some soothing music. I have a small cd player next to my bed, and when I'm ready to turn off the lights I turn the cd on low with some soft, calming music (no Metallica!). Last night I listened to Herbie Mann, a jazz flutist. Didn't get through the first song... Target and WalMart have racks of this type of music that you can sample. Chopin is quite wonderful, I might add. Koto and flute is good. Native American music is good also. Usually something with no lyrics, as the mind tends to want to focus on the lyrics and keep you awake.
Hope this helps.
