I would recommend against sleep meds because they do leave you groggy,and you can become dependent on them.Thanks, but for the occasional and prescribed purpose which I described (jet lag and international travel), Ambien does the trick.
Personally I'd be just as concerned about the long-term use of "herbal remedies" as with any prescribed pharmaceutical. Maybe more so.

Sean Hannity mentioned using sleeping pills when he flies on the red eye.
I surely do hope he doesn't get into his car and drive himself home when he lands.

Believe it or not, a lot of Prescription meds came from Herbs. I don't believe that you should use anything long term especially sleep meds. You need to know the reason behind why you cannot sleep. Sometimes it is worry,anxiety,pain,disruptions like baby crying or whatever. if you need these meds every night, that is a huge problem. It is too simple to pop a pill instead of finding out why you are not able to sleep. With alcoholics trying to dry out, that is the reason they have trouble sleeping, they want the booze.
