I used to take half a pill of Melatonin just to get me knocked out, but it kind of stopped working for me and I was always groggy for like an hour after I woke up.
I've found this stuff at Wal-Mart/Frys/Ralphs that's like cough syrup, but it doesn't have any of the stuff in it that helps with cold or flu. There is a similar type at Wal Mart I found that has no alcohol. I take 1/4 of the dosage before I get in bed (sometimes even less), plop my head on the pillow, keep my eyes closed and it knocks me out. I also wake refreshed and not groggy (6-7 hours of sleep).
I've recommended this stuff to a couple friends, and they have also told me how well it works, so I think it would be worth it to give it a shot.
A schedule for me is also huge. I wake up at 4am and do the gym before work. By the time 9pm rolls around I am ready to get some sleep.
