Answers:

Sleep comes in balance with other areas of your life and health. When your life is going well, you can skip the meds.

Eat, drink water and healthy fluids,
fresh air and exercise,
lowering your stress level, #1 take off your watch and put your cell-phone in a drawer for a week
taking time just for yourself each day - atleast 1/2 hr.
Work on a job or school or project, and when that day's time is completed, walk away, think about something entirely different.
Avoid anger and arguments.
Avoid watching movies that give the adrenaline rush - terror, X-games, Violence, Extreme emotion, Disaster. It can be very difficult to sleep once you've been excited or fearful.
Work in a garden or with plants or animals
Read a book for the fun of it
Listen to "calming music" or play an instrument yourself.
Allow yourself "wind-down time" for atleast an hour before you plan to get to sleep.
Plan your sleep for the same time every day, and make that your commitment 7 days a week.
Go to the bathroom before heading to bed.
Sleep alone
If you do fall asleep in your recliner chair or on the couch, have a blanket within reach, because moving to a bed in a different room can waken you sufficiently to not be able to get back to sleep.
Some people are bothered by light or by noise/ or the lack thereof. Some sleep best if the air is a little cool, with a fan going. Some feel most secure if there is a nightlight.
Some people living alone actually sleep best with a radio or TV on, so they don't hear house "noises" at night.

Having the same blanket each night that you find to be a soothing texture and of comfortable warmth aids in sleep.

Nightie-night.
