Mild insomnia: Many causes of delayed sleep latency and a common one is restless leg syndrome, but medications, alcohol, recreational drugs, emotional stress, could all contribute. Although Melatonin may assist you, would not recommend prescription sleep aides based on your comments. Discuss further with your doctor.
