I try and have a cup of Sleeytime Tea about half an hour before I go to bed. It's just a relaxing tea that helps your mind slow down a bit. I steep two bags in one cup. You can buy it anywhere, and the box looks like this:

If I were to drink anything before going to bed I would probably wake up in the middle of the night having to take a piss. Not my idea of 'sound sleep' through the night.
What I would suggest is if you are having troubles sleeping is to try and take some time to decompress before going to bed. Try not to stress out or think about work before bed. Meaning, maybe hold off on watching the news or anything that is going to make your head spin for an hour while you lay in bed.
Probably just a better idea to read a book or just to do something that relaxes you to get better sleep at night.

That's why I wear depends. Never miss a minute of sleep again.

If you're having trouble staying asleep all night and you're going to bed early (around 10), try staying up a couple hours later to build up some sleep pressure. Stay up until midnight for a week straight, then start going to bed earlier by 15 minutes over the next few days, then earlier by 15 minutes again, etc. until you find the sweet spot. Getting six hours of quality sleep is much better than eight or nine of restless/poor quality sleep.
+1 for Nyquil. If I need to get a solid nights rest for whatever reason, a shot of that will knock me out within 30 mins. You do feel a little groggy first thing in the morn but after getting out of bed you are good to go.
