Are you looking for a pill to take or are you looking for a solution to your problem? If you are just looking for a pill, then Remeron might be a good idea, but if you are looking for a solution to your problem then there are a number of non-medication things that you should try before resorting to a pill.
Do you get enough exercise every day? If you go for a jog or do some other aerobic activity durring the day, that may be a good way to tire you out.
Are you getting enough sunshine durring the day, or just staying inside? If you are outside and active durring the day, you may have an easier time falling asleep at night.
Not having a regular schedule, as you mentioned, can play havoc on a sleep schedule. If you force yourself to set an alarm every day and try to keep yourself on a regular schedule where you are awake early in the morning and up and out for the rest of the day, that should restore your sleep schedule in a matter of days.
If all else fails, then you may want to try Remeron, though melatonin works very well for many people (me included) and doesn't have the side effects of Remeron.
