It would be worth talking to your GP since chronic lack of sleep is not good for your health. The doctor will have a systematic approach including eliminating habits that discourage sleep, looking for related health problems which need to be addressed (eg. anxiety disorder) and as a last resort minimalist medical intervention.
One thing you could try is taking a magnesium tablet at bedtime. Magnesium reduces nerve excitation and 1/2 tablet makes me a little sleepy and calm making it much easier to drift off to sleep. It's not a knockout drop though. You also need to look for interactions if you're taking any prescription medications.
