melatonin? When lying down to sleep close your eyes and then roll up your eyeballs as though you are looking up, stay like that and the next thing you will be conscious of is when you wake up.
best wishes

21My son, do not lose sight of these—
keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22and they will be life for your soul
and adornment for your neck.
23Then you will walk on your way securely,
and your foot will not stumble.
24If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. —Proverbs 3

Try listening to the Bible on audio. I normally listen to the book of Psalms while lying in bed and at a sound level that I can barely hear. Seeing how there are 150 psalms, I am normally asleep way before the book finishes.

I had 6 months of insomnia. I could not close my eyes without thoughts flooding my mind. At the time, I was pursuing something that was not God's will. I had this word: (Isaiah 50:11)

"Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who array yourselves with firebrands, walk in the light of your fire and of the firebrands you have lit! This is what you will receive from My hand: You will lie down in a place of torment.…"

When I quit the pursuit, I had peace immediately.
