I also have a lavender and vanilla fabric spray I use on my bedding and lots of pillows. Talking of which I recently invested in this...

Memory foam pillow

I'm not sure which helps but I think it's a good combo for me. Doesn't always work but most of the time I'm getting more sleep than usual.

What has helped me so far is knowing I am not alone. Knowing there's someone out there that knows I am not doing well. For some reason, that calms me enough. Sometimes when it's really bad I just need to be in a call. Even if they're not talking to me.

For insomnia, I take kids sleeper helpers, like a melatonin pill. it just takes the edge off without feeling weird. It's a low dose. So I can relax and watch iPad in bed. And then suddenly I wake up a few hours later. Then I go to the bathroom, and go back and relax a bit more and sleep longer.
