i have problems falling asleep too, but not as bad as yours. warm milk appears to help very well, even though i never tried it (never drink milk)
my doctor advised me not to stay tossing and turning in bed because you can't sleep: it's better to get up and do something else (but no pc or tv). you have to learn to associate your bed with sleep and sleep only again.
if this doesn't help at all, you can always mess with your rythm even more, by getting up really early every day (around five in the morning). it will kill you at first, but you might be able to change your sleeping pattern for the good.
another thing is to stop thinking in bed, it helps prety well, as soon as i stop worrying or thinking about stuff i can feel myself doze off. too bad another thought always pops up again.
