It is very simple. If you make your body tired, you will get a good sleep. I would suggest to do exercise daily for at least 30 minutes. If you can do more that will be great. Exercise may be anything that makes you sweat and tired. Such as fast walking, aerobics, jumping rope, swimming etc.

Do this daily and you will get good sleep along with great body and mind.

Stay off the pills, and if you've only been using them for a week, you're not dependent yet.

Stay sober minded.

Drink at least eight cups of water daily.
