 I woul suggest a nice blend of rosemary and lavender essential oils but this can cause miscarriage before the first 3 months, but im pretty sure body lotions and bath oils dont have a high concentration of pure oils so i think you would be pretty safe.
Ok my first tip is dont eat after 6pm (because it keeps your digestive system working over time).But being pregnant not sure what your eating habbits are like at the moment. Take a long soak in a nice warm bath with cand;es and a relaxing cd, and go to bed at the same time every night eventually your body will figure out that bed means sleep and your body will use its internal clock to put you to sleep.
On the other hand you could always see your GP

 As someone who used to work odd hours constantly.
First, get the bed clean, new sheets and clean underwear or whatever.
Relax before you go to bed. Don't watch tv that has you feeling or thinking. Don't read a book in bed. Do not have a deep meaningfull discussion with your partner.
Go to the toilet even if you don't have too. Take a warm shower (but do not wash your hair or get it wet) and go to sleep in a completly dark slightly cold room with NO sounds. If you want to have sex, do it before the shower, no raised heartbeat in bed.
Do not eat anything in the last hours before going to bed. Especially nothing like snacks or soda.
That at least works for me when having to constantly switch sleeping patterns, I obviously can't tell you about being pregnant.

 Firstly i would like to congratulate on your pregnancy!!!!! I agree with the other aunts that have answered try a warm bath maybe light some candles and just have a nice long soak try a bit of reading if you read of course, have a milky drink and also as the poster below suggests try some lavender oil onto your pillow and hopefully you will soon drift off hope this helped take care

 Hi
Try having a warm bath before going to bed and having a warm drink. Dont eat a meal before going to bed as this would keep you up. If you have a tub then you can soak in there before going to bed.
Regards,mail me if you wanna talk
