Many things can effect sleep. Diet, Alcohol/Drug(both prescription and recreational use) Consumption, Lack of Exercise, Stress/Anxiety, Depression, Various Medical Conditions.
I'd analyze the above first as it relates to your lifestyle and then adjust as necessary. Taking prescription meds should be your last alternative. When I am having problems sleeping, it's generally one of two things for me - Stress/Anxiety relative to work or because I have been eating like shit. I find if I can maintain a good healthy diet and exercise regularly, then I can manage any stress related sleep issue.
Good luck!
