    Try burning some lavender oil an hour or so before you go to bed( or at any other time) and put a few drops on your pillow. I swear by Jersey Lavender. It works like no other. They also do a cologne stick which I buy for family. It helps them sleep when they rub it on their foreheads and also helps with headaches. Hope you find a solution.

    Have you tried exercise? I often find that a long brisk walk gives me time to work stuff out in my head and often calms me right down. Also, if you exercise a LOT and really tire yourself out, you'll most likely sleep better as a result of that.
