have the same issue, but don't like the idea of taking any drugs to sleep. I try to walk around my neighborhood for 30 minutes to an hour to clear my head. No cellphone no nothing. Just walking. Usually does the trick. If it's particularly bad, I usually accept the fact, and just lay down and hope for the best.

30-40 minutes of cardio every 2nd day keeps my baseline level of anxiety a loooot lower. Suggested by my therapist and makes a world of difference. Eventually just feeling less anxious and more empowered adds up and helps me even at times i miss workouts or whatever

Invest in a good weighted blanket

Use the insight timer app! It has a lot of free sleep meditations, and I have yet to find one that I listen to until the end because they always put me to sleep. It’s so, so soothing.

CBD and Headspace app. The app is terrific for day/night. If your anxiety continues.- seek help. You are most important.

Workouts. As much as I feel like I don’t have time for them, they actually give me restful sleep and in the end it’s totally worth the 45m or so (since I typically lost at least a couple hours of sleep the night prior)

read a boring book, which always works well for me
