I struggle with sleep myself. I can't turn my head off and certain things just make it impossible.
Advice I was given was to exercise in the morning, no matter how tired. Just a walk in the fresh air makes a big difference. Get some sun exposure. No caffeine, even chocolate. Take vitamin d if levels are low. I also take probiotics, valerian, Nervatona, omega 3. Warm milk with raw honey 1/2 an hour before bed, a quiet routine to wind down so no tv, no computers, no noise an hour before bed. Magnesium baths (epsom salts). Naps when possible. Some days this all works. Some days it doesn't. Weaning off the sleeping tablets is important as they lose efficacy over time and personally, I think they're bad for the body.
