Try taking melatonin. It's something that your body makes naturally, so it is totally harmless and non-sddictive. It regulates your sleep pattern and studies have shown increases life expectancy. You can buy it at health food stores, drug stores or the vitamin aisle of your grocery store.

LOTS you can do. Don't exercise at night (only morning/afternoon). Try a little aromatherapy (scents of lavender or sandalwood help you relax). Take the TV out of the bedroom, if you have one. Try to minimize light / noise in your bedroom (or, have a white noise machine - there are some inexpensive ones out there). Try an herbal tea (like chamomile) - naturally decaf. Do some light stretching before you go to bed and be sure to check your mattress and bed linend (clean sheets and a mattress that's not too soft or firm make for a good night's sleep). If you find you're in bed and can't fall asleep for hours, get up and do something until you are tired. Read - but not in bed.

Melatonin. Very safe and you'll fall asleep very fast.
