I'm catholic and when I would wake up from bad dreams I would say the Our Father. I'm not suggesting you do something religious necessarily. I have no idea what you believe. But repeating something out loud that I had grown up with being a "comfort" always helped me sleep better. Maybe there's a nursery rhyme you love, or a poem. I think the hearing my own voice brought some reality to the present moment as well. Now I'm on Zoloft and rarely have any bad thoughts or dreams. good luck, and sorry to anybody who thinks I'm trying to push religion. It's not my intention.
