I work a night shift and also suffer from sleep apnea so getting to sleep can be difficult at time but what does help me a lot is guided meditation. You can download an app called Medito and just follow the section on sleep meditation it really helps |

"There’s a supplement available in Boots or most chemists called Melissa Dreams that helps, has worked for me to get a better sleep "
I've had Melissa dreams myself in the past. I never told her about them though.  |

If you're suffering with sleep apnea, one of those masks should help. I know people who've had terrible sleep and the mask for it has literally changed their life! |

There are lots of things you can do to help with sleep, depending on your lifestyle.
No blue screens at least 2 hours before bedtime. Read a magazine or book instead or listen to a podcast.
Make sure your bedroom is clutter free, electronic devices free and well ventilated. Your bedroom should be your haven for sleeping in (and for sex  ) so try to keep it as clear of junk, clutter and paraphernalia.
Ideally a regular bedtime and rising time.
No heavy meals a few hours before bedtime, try not to drink too much late at night either.
Avoid stimulants like coffee and tea - go for herbal teas instead. Lots of offers in supermarkets and health food shops.
Essential oils are great too. If you don't have a diffuser, a couple of drops on a tissue and put it underneath your pillow.
Essential oils like lavender or frankincense (this is the mediation oil, it grounds you).
There are lots of apps for meditation but a simple search on YouTube will also bring up plenty. If you haven't done it before, start with 5 or 10 minutes and stick with it... you might just be pleasantly surprised 
Practicing mindfulness is a great tool. Try to leave stress and worry for the daytime, particularly if you have any specific worries - set yourself a "worry time" and stick to it. Look for distractions when you do catch yourself worrying about something outside of the time you've set yourself...
I hope you will find something that helps you... |

Hope you find something. I struggled for a few years because of shift work. On days since April 21 and my sleep pattern took a good year to get back to normal. |
