Melatonin 8 to 10 mg at Sunset (+ ) or (-) 15 minutes usually help with restful night sleep. Melatonin at bedtime does not do much as it is a hormone that works with one's natural melatonin production, by augmentation, at sunset. Avoiding drinking fluids late at night before sleep helps. Causes of BPH and high PSA are a little much to discuss here and should be discussed with the Urologist.

I would suggest stop wasting your money on OTC drugs and see a Urologist
