I use to have a hard time falling asleep. Now I wake up around 2 am to empty my bladder and am awake for an hour. I walk 5 miles 5 days a week so I’m hoping eventually I will stay asleep. I sympathize with you as I know the feels.

I found the Honest Guys guided sleep meditation (YouTube) helpful to fall asleep.

I'm one that falls asleep fairly fast but at my age I pretty much always get up at least once or twice a night to use the bathroom. Here are a couple of articles that may help you fall asleep faster and hopefully sleep better.

Thanks @asegura for the tip on the Honest Guys Fall Asleep in Under 20 Minutes - Guided Sleep, Insomnia. They have several sleep videos that you can find.
