Ugh. Insomnia is back. Please help!?

I had horrible insomnia a couple of months ago but it was fixed when I was put on antidepressants. I stopped taking the antidepressants because there was no other need for them except the insomnia. It has been about a month of me not taking any antidepressants and the insomnia is back. I really don't want to depend on expensive drugs so I am trying to find an inexpensive way to get some decent shut eye. I really don't like the idea of downing a pill in order to get some sleep so if you have any suggestions other than pills or medication, please let me know.
