Taking sleeping pills will allow you to sleep now but will not improve your sleep once you stop taking them you will be in the same place you are now. There are some tricks you can use that may be helpful; take a hot bath before bed, not a shower a bath this relaxes your mind and body. Do not have the television or radio or any other distractions on. A sleep mask also helps and if you can have someone wake you up wearing earplugs also helps. Also going to bed 45 minutes to 1 hour before you want to be asleep is also helpful.

There are other hints that may work for you, also talking to your doctor is a good idea as he can probably recommend things as well.

Hope this helps
