Chloroform
If it persists, make sure you go to the doctor as there could be underlying issues. However, there are generally a few tips to help:
1. Stop drinking tea/coffee/coke (anything with caffeine) by 6pm.
2. Make sure that you're getting adequate exercise so that you're not restless.
3. Get into a sleeping routine: goto bed at a certain time and stick with it.
4. Remove distractions from your bedroom such as your PC (or just turn it off) and TV.
5. Try reading a book. I found that when I was reading one on String Theory that I pretty much fell asleep every night quite easily.

Nytol One a Night. One of them will destroy you for around 8 hours, take it at around 8'o clock and by 10 you will be semi-conscious at best. To give you an idea of how strong they are, I take only half when I want to use one, and it more than does the job.
However they are not to be relied on, if you're having long-term trouble sleeping then go and see a doctor.

I'd suggest something blunt.
Again, it depends on how serious the 'condition' is. When my isnomnia was at its worse, sleeping tablets wouldn't even work. Instead they just sent me into a very weird (at best I can describe it as 'electric') sleep which I didn't rest in at all. Otherwise, they just made me a bit loopy.
The problem I have however, is that when I cannot sleep I get very, very restless insofar as I will literally have to go for a long walk just to stop myself from going insane. Taking a tablet when you're agitated, as you can see, does not always work.
