Non-prescription remedies include Tylenol PM, melatonin, valerian, and ashwaghanda.
I know that when people discontinue Ambien, they have a hard time sleeping. But on the other hand, they also had a hard time sleeping just prior to starting Ambien. So it's hard to tell if it's "addictive". I think that it is technically non-addictive.
If Ambien is working for you and you find that nothing else works, keep taking it. It's suppose to be safe even for long term users. And its far better than going sleep deprived.
