Melatonin certainly works for some people (but not everyone), including me. It's available from any US pharmacy for a few dollars. HOWEVER - it can give you nightmares. These usuually aren't the mildly unsettling variety, but rather the vivid and violent type. That's certainly what they give me and a few of my colleagues find the same problem. However I guess that not everybody will suffer this.
