have you tried herbals that are not addictive like:

Melatonin or Valerian Root? They can work very well.

There's several things that can help a good sleep rhythm like creating rituals like meditating for 10 minutes every night before you go to sleep. There's free apps with guided meditation you can use. Herbal teas are also good. Breathing techniques can help. Being physically active during the day is a good idea.
Lastly I've been using medical marijuana but that's just for emergencies in my case. If there's a lot on your mind it's a good idea to talk to someone about it if you haven't already. I hope you find some rest soon.
