I would try good: Sleep hygiene first. How about a relaxing evening routine with a warm bath with lavender scent (or scent of lavender essential oil on his pillow). Keep bedroom dark ; cool. Room should be quiet or have soothing quiet sound. Finish eating at least 2-3 hrs prior to bed. Chamomile drops or warm milk can help.
