Personally, the same advice to manage depression applies to managing better sleep: exercise, engage in body/mind-healthy habits. My bed room has all the tricks too: LED lights taped over, black out curtains, a Home Assistant automation for simulating sunrise with Hue bulbs. It has been a challenge.
Secondly, no caffeine after noon time on a work night.
When I started my first job, I went to the doctor for a sleep aid, he prescribed trazodone 100mg. I was anxious about falling asleep and being well rested for work. I used it for a couple of weeks and it helped me get on track. I did not like the side effects of drowsiness in the AM so I stopped, even when I took a half-dose. I am now getting good sleep for the past half-year because I adhere to good habits, not because I'm cured. I think it will always be a challenge, so it's a matter of being disciplined
