try these methods:
1. try to drink brown rice tea… it is good for insomia and for health…
2. use aroma therapy… hang sachets of lavender in your room… it not only gives off a pleasent aroma, it helps you to relax and to sleep…

Actually, tryptophan (found in turkey and milk [warm or not]) is a good relaxer. How about a turkey sandwich with some white milk about 1 hour before you go to bed? Remember how sleepy you are after the big Thanksgiving dinner when turkey has been served and you ate it? Well, hello tryp! Also, camomile tea is a natural relaxer. Now on to some minerals: 400mg. of magnesium helps the muscles to relax. The momentary relaxer is a very warm bath. Long-term is the magnesium. Taking it 2 hours before bed is recommended. My chiropractor told me this because I was having trouble sleeping through the night. I'd been taking 600 mg. of Ibuprophen, but that can play havoc on your body. There is also melatonin which is a natural. Look it up on GOOGLE. Yes, all the exercise you're getting, if it is within 2 hours of your going to sleep, is probably contributing to your problem. Could you discontinue the exercise that close to your bedtime?

Melatonin. It may not be around the house but it is a "natural" remedy available at your local pharmacist. Note: some brands work better than others, try a couple or pay a few bucks more and get a pharmaceutical grade.
