I a$$ume you mean without drugs or alcohol? No caffeine after 12:00pm, no late night snacks, make sure your bedroom is really dark, exercise, listen to pop music.

I drink several gallons of coffee during the day. So ive got this down to a science

Tylenol PM is a good option.
 
I usually have 1 or 2 gla$$es of some sort of alcohol beverage every evening (wine or beer work best. for some reason c0cktails make me want to stay up and drink more). Anything more than 2 and you wont wake up very easy.
 
White noise helps me. A fan, air conditioner, but not TV or music.

Btw.. I use a fan to sleep and usually have a very hard time sleeping without one.

As for trying to get to sleep sooner.. well.. I'm not all too good at that, though I will say not drinking anything with caffeine in it after 10PM or 12AM works for me.. somewhat...

something natural and safe?  Try either the amino acid tryptophan or the hormone melatonin...I've heard both work well and they are safe and relatively cheap.  They are usually carried at most health food stores.

Warm milk, white bread during the day... I've actually got about 26 different methods in my latest copy of Mens Health... If I remember I'll edit this tomorrow with the proper list!

Well you could have sex.
 
Or else what Bain said, do allot of excersice and stay off the cafeine! It has no nutritions what so ever, it only gives you a boost or help waking you up.
 
Some people breath with their mouth which is bad lol and occasionally eat a spider xD j/k
So yah breath with your nose.
 
Also clear your mind when you go to sleep.. it seems most people can't sleep well because they have to much stuff going on in their heads.

This is a pretty effective method, but the side effect is you might not wake up the next morning.

The fan idea!! I'm addicted to it, I have it on even when its -40 degrees outside in the winter, can't sleep without it! Try it out, the constant humming (insert sexual joke here) will be soothing

i don't take drugs i dont like the way they make my body feel
I like to be cold when i sleep so a heater is out of the question plus its like 80 degrees at night here so yeah
i have a really annoying fan that doesnt do anything but keep me awake
i think i need a pair of head phones and something for my eyes to block out EVERYTHING
