@pjss48 Hi pj, and welcome to Connect.
Could you tell us a little bit more about your sleep problems? Have you tried anything to help with them, or have you spoken to your doctor? He or she may be able to help you. Also, there are many suggestions on the internet that some find helpful, such as breathing to a pre-defined count, inhaling, holding your breath, and exhaling.
I do not have personal experience with meditation but I know some people do find it helpful.
There are some sleep aids, such as Benadryl and melatonin that are not too habit forming. If you try Benadryl, it should only be for an occasional night, not for daily usage. Obviously, the best solution is one that does not require medication, be it OTC or prescription.

There is a whole section of Connect about sleep problems,
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/sleep-health/

Within it, there are many sub-topics, some of which may relate to your problems. If not, you can also click on "start a discussion" to start one, explaining your problem in a bit more detail.

I hope you are able to find some relief, I know how frustrating it is to lie awake at night for hours. I go through that when I am anxious about something but right now I am doing fine and getting to sleep in a reasonable amount of time. I hope too that you are able to define what is causing your sleep problems, that's half of the battle I think.
