It does. I attended counselling (had my last ever session yesterday!) and one of the things we worked on was my problems with falling asleep. I have a time that I set an alarm for every day and I force myself to get up then regardless of how little sleep I've had. Eventually, you reset your body clock and you start becoming exhausted earlier because you're getting up so early and going all day. Also made an effort to cut out caffeine (i.e. fizzy drinks, rarely eat chocolate or drink coffee/tea) and making sure that when I get into bed, I am going there to sleep; not look at my phone or read a book or think about my problems - I do all that before I get into my bed and then just go there with an empty mind. It's worked wonders for me. Insomnia was ruining my life.

Try Sominex from any chemist Half a tablet only or you'll feel lousy the next day. They are anti-histamine basically, of the drowsy kind and non addictive. I got the tip from a woman who worked for BA on long haul flights. She said Melatonin is the best thing but we can't buy it over the counter like they can in the USA.

If you're going to use sleeping tablets only use them for a short while just to 'reset' your sleeping pattern if you know what I mean. Like use them for a few nights to get to sleep around the time you want to be a sleep and then try to hold off on them. Like others have said, you don't wanna be dependent on the things.
You're probably better off doing that first and try improving your sleep hygiene at the same time. That basically means no caffeinated drinks, napping, etc.
