I was advised to reduce my time on computer because light from the screen can keep me awake. And in the evnings I'd change into pajamas and read a favourite book. All this helped me. Reading can not only relax, reducing anxiety, but make us feel sleepy. After a month of all these, I found going to sleep less anxiety making, and enjoyed a good night's sleep.
Some evenings I listen to rainfall on my phone or computer. rain.today is a good site as is mynoise.net which can have its sounds saved to a bookmark. The distant non-threateningh sound of thunder + gentle rain makes for a wonderful night's sleep.
I hope you find some of these tips useful.

Thank you, I posted this thread about a year ago and my sleep has greatly improved since then, I also started to use relaxation apps that have thunderstorms/rain mp3's and reading helps a lot too
