Can Anyone Help?

Okay lately i have been having trouble sleeping. I usually sleep for less than three hours a night, and even when i get the full three hours i'm awake every half hour or so, and i have horrible nightmares.
I went to the doctors a while back and he said it could be caused by stress, but i have nothing that i currently worried about.
I have tried having a hot bath, a hot drink, reading before bed, lavender incense and sleep balm.
Yesterday i finally got put on sleeping tablets, and i took one last night and it worked like a charm, only i really really don't want to be taking them, i have never liked the idea of sleeping tablets.
Does anyone have other ideas that i can try?
Thanks

haha hey me and you have the same problem
I dont think you should take pills because then you can become depentent on them

what I think is maybe you arent active enough
I skate alot before i got bed you know just around the block and i then i feel tired and sleep

so maybe you should try a sport or something and if your already in one then idk what esle to say

hope this helped at all
