For several weeks I had trouble sleeping because my anxiety was out of control. I was prescribed Trazodone and that knocks me out within 30 minutes, regardless of if I actually felt tired or not. Supposedly it's non-addictive but I don't know...
I've stopped taking Trazodone and what usually works for me is exercising before I eat dinner (typically a 2-3 mile walk/run with my dog), meditation (I use the Calm app), and reading something non-fiction.
Oh, I also like sleepy time tea/herbal tea sometimes. It's a nice way to wind down.
