I can't take prescription sleeping tablets either - they make me sleep, but I really don't feel like I'm rested the for a few days afterwards.
Valerian tablets do help me sleep, but I have to have a reasonably calm brain for them to work - if it's racing, nothing helps. On the plus side, if I'm up most of the night with a racing brain I don't suffer as much the following day than if I stay up late just because...
