Before I got pregnant I was taking ZMA, valerian root and melatonin. It worked like a charm. Not sure if you need all three but it helped me out.

5-htp - 100 mgs before bed.
Melatonin - I can get by on 3 mgs. You have to be careful though - melatonin can shift your sleep cycle. Take it 30 min before you would normally go to bed, but don't take it say more than an hour past when you would normally hit the hay. For example, if you can't sleep and are still awake at 1:00, melatonin is not the answer. It will shift you into going to sleep at 1:00 - not a good thing (that's why it's so great for jet lag - really helps with time changes).
When I've been awake at 1:00, the only thing (besides sex) that might work is Nyquil. A nice big shot of it.

I've had sleep problems for some time now and I'm exhausted all the time.

3 things
1. try adding biotin.. while it is highly unlikely that this is causing restlessness.. it should be supplemented while taking r-ala (why it was added to the AF store at such a low price and why it is in the new glucorellR-- soon to be released).. and its a possibility.
2. try adding folic acid-- if you have restless legs syndrome it cures about a third of the cases
3. try the p7 orange.. most people note greatly improved sleep..
5htp may also be of help

pot?
if you can avoid the munchies, it's all natural and works like a charm for me. my husband says i don't budge all night (i'm a wild sleeper normally).
i don't use it for the sleep factor (but it's nice), i use it for my FMS pain so that i don't have be heavily medicated.
i don't like chemical drugs.

buffedmama,
these are all natural options...
note- pot interferes with the action of P7.. and sleep is actually less fruitful when marijuana induced..
