Have you tried taking melatonin? I just found out (I was obviously being very dense before) that you could buy melatonin pills over the counter, so I've been trying them occasionally when I need to fall asleep early-ish and I just can't for some reason -- they seem to be working remarkably well. There's not a whole lot of research on melatonin yet, but it's the hormone that your body makes to help you fall asleep, so taking it artificially can help you fall asleep when you want to. There also doesn't seem to be many, if any, side effects (and some side effects seem to be good, like boosting the immune system), though, again, there's not a whole lot of long-term research.
