Root it out: Seek evaluation. A thorough history and sleep habits questionnaire as well as exam and possibly some blood tests will help your doctor help you. Sleeping pulls are habit forming so you want to make sure you need one without a doubt. Many conditions can cause sleep problems. Treating the underlying problem will help your insomnia.

Relax: Sleep problems are common, but need to be treated. Exercise early in the day, avoiding caffeine (especially after 4pm), and turning off all screens (tv, computers, video games) 2 hrs before bedtime ~ they all stimulate your brain and make it harder to fall asleep. Get into a routine: read a book, play a board game, meditate, etc before bed. Melatonin can also help. See your doc if not better.
