Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time Tea is a marvelous blend of non-harmful, non-adicting herbs - read the ingredients, you should recognize them all!
Chamomile helps gently calm the nervous system, and helps reduce pain. It is gentle enough for infants. Spearmint calms the stomach and the menthol in it helps clear the sinuses and calm the mind. I forget what else is in there, as I usually blend my own. It is a very gentle tea. I have used it many times, but unfortunately my sleep problems have become too difficult to treat so gently.
Melatonin. I've tried it and it does work when used properly. Most people use too much, hence the vivid weired dreams and nightmares. Persons prone to depression, as I am, should NOT take it, as it can aggrivate depression.
A heavier herb to use is Valerian Root. Get it in capsules. Use 2 - 4 1 hour before bed. It smells like stinky socks! It is not, in any way related to Valium. It can build up in the body, and should be discontinued after 2 weeks use, and restarted again later. Cats love it. Oh, yeah, catnip is a nice relaxing herb for humans. It does NOT make you breakdance on the floor like it does cats!
Why do I know so much? I'm a Sexual Intellectual = a F*ing Know-It-All. ;) Actually, I've self studied medicinal and edible herbs and plants for many, many years, even as a JW. My JW mom got me interested when we'd forrest walk and she'd start picking and eating plants!
Most of our current drugs originated in plant form: asprin originated in white willow bark; digitalis I believe still comes from "digitalis officinalis", or common foxglove (the leaves when the flowers are beginning to bloom - it causes the heart muscle to contract. Self administration will likely cause death.).

PS - deep meditation and astral projection are kewl stuff - NOT demon induced.
