Sorry to hear that! Sleep has always been a challenge for me.
The most important thing you can do is make sure you get 10-30 minutes of low-angle UV light in your eyes as soon as possible after waking up, and most importantly before 9AM or so (depending on where on the earth you live). It activates a biological clock by signaling cells located in the bottom half of your eyes (convex eyes invert image so the cells at the bottom of the eye need the sunlight from above). The clock tells your body to release cortisone for the day, and then taper off and release serotonin/melatonin about 12-14 hours later. Limit blue light at least one hour before sleep.
Dr. Andrew Huberman changed my life. He's a professor of opthalmology at Stanford and has a podcast where he shares science based tools to optimize all aspects of life.
I credit him with staying sober, implementing all kinds of protocols for health, and most importantly improving sleep.
Search for Huberman Lab podcast.
