I had insomnia issues for awhile and I was taking melatonin routinely, so I experimented with the dosages to see how little I could take and still get the effects. Half and tab gets me to sleep, a full tab and I feel the affects throughout my sleep, two tabs I'm still feeling dozy in the morning.

I personally watch all the latest episodes of my shows or a movie. A glass of warm milk sounds a little cliche, but it actually does help as well

Usually watching soccer puts me to sleep, but lately, the Canucks have put me to sleep.

I'm a life long insomniac in a long line of insomniacs. I also worked for a sleep researcher at SFU for a couple of years.
First of all there's three kinds of insomnia, and it's important to identify which you are. 1. People who have trouble going to sleep. 2. People who have broken sleep and 3. People who wake up earlier than they want to.
Then you need to identify what your trigger is. Some people have racing thoughts or anxiety (this is the easiest type to deal with in my experience), others have no clue why they can't sleep. If you are the former, distraction, self hypnosis/meditation and other mind clearing methods work best. Creating a routine to deal with this works best, as it sets up triggers to tell your brain 'okay, time to settle down and rest'. I found that for example there's specific movies that I only use for this now and I rarely am awake through the credits because that's my 'time to sleep' cue.
If you are the latter you need to speak to your doctor.
There's a plethora of health related issues that cause sleep problems: diabetes (particularly hypoglycemia), thyroid, sleep apnia, other breathing issues, cardiac issues, depression, anxiety and allergies. These are all pressing and medically urgent and important to be ruled out particularly for the broken sleep and early riser crowd.
For example often when I wake up at 3 am feeling like all hell and anxious it's because my blood sugar's crashed to 3.8, anything below 4 is starting to get in the bad news range. If I have a snack and make sure my blood sugar's over 8 before I go to bed I can prevent this.
to long ; didn't read - If getting into a mellower head space doesn't work for you, see a doctor.

Taking it in pill form can decrease your body's natural production which means you can be dependent on it for life or at least until you retrain your body. Which is fine if you need it but I wouldn't recommend it until you've exusted everything else and ruled out potential health issues contributing to sleep problems.
What most people don't know is that your body will NOT produce melatonin in a brightly lit environment so one of the best things to do is, about 45 minutes prior to bed turn off or greatly decrease the lights in the area you're in. This triggers your body to initiate melatonin production which begins the whole preparing for sleep.

From what I've heard and as spoon.ek9 has already mentioned.
If your mind doesn't think that your bedroom is a place of sleep it won't want to sleep there. I used to have my computer in my bedroom, i could stay up till 9 am playing video games, watch movies, of all kinds . But, when I moved out on my own all i had in my room was my bed and clothes. Now it takes me 10 - 15 minutes to fall asleep, in that time I listen to some Bob Marley on a quiet volume, I find that using headphones keeps me awake. Usually what I do is have my iphone on a stereo dock and set my timer for 20 minutes then it puts my iphone to sleep once 20 minutes is up. Oh, I also have a very low wattage bulb in my room as well.

If I want to make sure I fall asleep at a reasonable time, I Just pop 0.5mg. I tend not to have to do that more than once a week. The more you do it, the more you'll need until eventually you become totally dependent on it. But there are no withdrawal symptoms (other than insomnia) so it's not that big a deal.

. | Nor would I, but when needed in the short term they worked. I had to take them for a while a couple months ago due to high stress where I was getting maybe 1 hour sleep a night, they really were a life saver. I'm not advocating abusing them, see your doctor obviously.
