To sleep better just relax and switch off, if you can.

If you are having trouble switching off at bedtime some light exercise (for example, push ups or sit ups) at bedtime often helps you to relax, unwind and switch off and that often improves your sleep. Strenuous exercise at bedtime is likely to ruin your sleep.

Common sleep aids include warm milk, Chamomile tea, 5-HTP, Melatonin and Valerian.

Sleep enhancing foods are supposed to include turkey, cherries, oatmeal, bananas, wine and others as in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkmOObYlOTD4A3Y0L5gt.;_ylc=X1MDMjExNDcwOTAwMwRfcgMyBGFvAzAEZnIDdXNoLWFucwRob3N0cHZpZANFaG5SR1VvR2t5bTlTWWx3VG9qNWxncDBjTlczeEU2SmJZNEFEeDhWBG5fZ3BzAzAEbl92cHMDMARvcmlnaW4Dc3JwBHF1ZXJ5AyJzbGVlcCBlbmhhbmNpbmcgZm9vZHMiBHNhbwMxBHZ0ZXN0aWQD?p=%22sleep+enhancing+foods%22&fr2=sb-top&fr=ush-ans&vm=r&rd=r1

exercise a lot and get yourself tired, try drinking honey and warm milk, play music and put your electronics down 1 hour before you attempt to sleep so u can wind down. u can try pills too

well, get off the computer, avoid looking at bright objects (like tv screen and such)... take a warm shower... then lay in your room, make sure it's pitch black and you'll fall asleep....

try using a 'white noise'
it's always helped me through the worse of my insomnia
reading something horribly boring works too
or just focus on your breathing
