Buy yourself some melatonin @ 3mg. It's cheap, and it's the same hormone your body naturally produces to induce sleep. It won't make you noticeably sleepy if you are involved in an activity, but if you observe a few steps when you take it, you will find sleep.
Take it on an empty stomach at least 2 hours after a meal. If heavy in fats, 4 hours. Take it 30 minutes to an hour before your bedtime. When you do go to bed, try to relax and avoid any movement. You'll find that easier to do than you normally would.
If you observe these steps, I think you'll find a quality, restful sleep. If not, you're only out a few dollars.
