Second, melatonin, very low dosage (can't remember right now, but not the commn 10mg), helps you sleep, works for me.

I hit the gym 3-4 times a week. I do 700 calories of cardio before weight lifting each time.

When I really, really, really drain myself at the gym, it helps me fall asleep maybe half an hour earlier.

I have to be careful though, I did overtrain for a few years in a row a few years ago. That makes sleeping even harder (as I'm not giving my body adequate time to recover between workouts).

I've been working out for 12 years with no more than two weeks breaks 2-3 times a year. I have a pretty high tolerance for exercise (I start to feel like crap if I don't hit the gym for more than two weeks) and I need to do a lot of it just to feel "normal".
