Insomnia
 
Melatonin

Blinds
 
I have found that room darkening celluar shadehave been the most effective tool to give me a good night sleep.  Worth the investment 10x over. They are available in several colors, from pale neutrals to rich, deep tones. These window shades do not allow any light through the material, and they're backed by white for a uniform window coverings appearance on the front of your home
 

 

 
 
A sleep mask is really helpful, especially during the summer or when travelling.
fan in the summer is also helpful.
Ear plugs and a sound machine may also be helpul.
