Answer: Over The Counter sleeping pills do the trick for me, as I too suffer from stress and can't sleep. Walgreens sells a over the counter pill called "sleep aid" you take 2 and it works like a charm, just make sure you have about 8 or 9 hours to devote to sleep!! Wal-Mart also sells a pill by the same name, give it a try!Nytol is very good.If you think you are having trouble sleeping due to stress then using a medicine is just going to mask the actual problem. Maybe you need to talk to someone, or try and get away for a bit and have some "me" time.Avoid exercising before bedtime because even though you think it makes you tired it actually gets your blood flowing and makes you more awake. Try having a nice hot shower before bed time as well that always helps me. If you are just laying in bed tossing and turning waiting to fall asleep get out of bed and do something.. nothing major but get out of bed, go to the washroom.. read a little bit and then try and go back to bed.
