I'm in the same boat

Same issue here. I won’t lie I love weed but it has such a bad effect on my mental health i stay away from it atp. Sleeping pills either don’t work or knock me tf out for way too long. I’m convinced melatonin is a scam because it doesn’t matter how much i take it doesn’t even make me tried. But i had to start waking up at 6am for work everyday so I literally went home and had my dad wake me up every morning and now that it’s been about a month I can hardly keep my eyes open by 10:30pm anymore

If you have medical insurance, I'd highly recommend getting assessed for sleep apnea. You can try Benadryl which is sometimes used off label for sleep. You can also try herbal supplements. There are many herbs that can be helpful to sleep such as valerian root and passionflower. You can also try to improve your sleep hygiene. No screens at least 1 hour before bed. Keep bedroom for sleep and intimacy only (helps brain associate bed to sleep). Find an activity to help you unwind and relax the mind at night such as reading a box, listening to music, doing a meditation, taking a bath, lighting a scented candle or incense.

You could also try Cannabis CBD. This has many properties of cannabis without the high from the THC which can induce ill effects in some. CBD can be relaxing and mildly sedating to aid with sleep. They make oil tinctures you just put a few drops under your tongue. No need to smoke it or edibles.

I recommend progressive muscle relaxation meditations or mindfulness meditations to help with relaxation and refocusing (away from pain etc) at bedtime. I thought it was BS or stupid initially, but it can help if done consistently over time. And those types of meditation use you focusing on your physical breathing or physical sensations that ground you or just flexing and releasing muscles. You don't have to try to quiet your mind entirely or focus much or visualize anything, which I found helpful personally . You can find free versions on YouTube. I have some I like specifically ,

Yeah me too I mean taking melatonin might get me to sleep for a few hours but thats it

I just do CBD and it helps me sleep. I don't do the psychoactive ones. I struggle with trying to get to sleep. I will sit up for a while and my mind will just go crazy. It's worse when I'm all alone. I do better when my boyfriend is with me and his closeness just calms my nerves. I hope you able to get some rest. I'm sorry I can't be of help.
