I hate sleeping pills ... they don't really make me tired ... really just leave me feeling fucked up. I have only tried the OTC pills like nytol, nothing prescription...

I recall you were a supplement taker, you taking ZMA? If not, try it. Apparantly it aids deep sleep.

A week taking benzodiazepines always helped me out. You will have a short sleep about 6 hours and will wake up on your own after this specific period. In the morning you'll feel a bit dizzy and easily get confused but calm down after some 45 minutes. But you have to be really careful and don't do a period longer than 2 weeks otherwise chance is high to become addicted.

Finally a topic where I can be of some use to someone.
Here's the summary of sleep meds, what helps, what doesn't, and what to avoid like a bad 80s horror movie. All of these are from my experience or knowledge.
Avoid:
Caffeine, cocaine, taurine, anything with guarana or lots of sugar, and stimulants in general, for at least 5 hours before bed (i.e. no more coffee after 7 pm)
Here's what I've tried, and the results:
Diphenhydramine: I tried it in the form of Benadryl pills, breath patches, and store-brand pills. Works like shit for me. Makes you feel fucked up, requires 5x + the recommended dose (for me, 250mg+) to have any effect, and gives you bad hangovers (light headache and drowsiness throughout the day)
Doxylamine Succinate (i.e. Unisom): Best results personally for me. 1.5 pills (75mg) takes 20-30 minutes to kick in, makes your head and eyelids feel quite heavy, and you pass out minutes after hitting the pillow. This + an episode of [insert tv show] usually puts me to bed when needed.
Ramelteon (i.e. Rozerem): Relatively new sleep aid, supposedly helps you get to sleep naturally by activating the same receptors milk does. Never worked for me, I've tried doses of up to 3 at a time.
Diazepam (i.e. Valium): I tried these, they work, but I stopped using them and switched to Unisom after a week because they do cause dependency, and tolerance builds relatively quickly. Use with caution.
Sex: Works, whether with someone or with yourself. One of the better ways to help you fall asleep, but not as effective as some meds.
Milk: 2 glasses of warm milk a half hour before bedtime. Never tried this, but I'd imagine the effects are not very pronounced unless you fast and/or have very light insomnia.
Grass: Definitely very effective. Smoking a good dose will enable you to fall asleep almost immediately, as the body high imitates hypnogogic hallucinations and tells your body you're falling asleep. A milder dose smoked ~3 hours before sleep will make you naturally tired, and is pretty fun, so that'd be my recommendation.
This list isn't nearly complete, but these are the things I personally have tried. FYI, I've been a chronic and heavy insomniac for about 4+ years now, so your mileage, and dosage, may vary.
