Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns.
I think you should follow some sleep hygiene tips:
Avoid daytime naps.
Donot take tea coffe alcohol and fatty meal at bedtime.
Follow a regular bedtime schedule.
Associate your bed with sleep and donot keep lying on bed idly for reading books or watching tv.
If you donot get to sleep within half hour of lyibg onto bed, leave the bed and take a light walk around in your balcony.
Take a glass of warm milk and take warm water bath before going to bed.

If this does not help, sleep inducing drugs like ativan or zolfresh (prescription drugs) can be taken.

Hope thus helps.
Thanks.
