Many choices: Please consult with a psychiatrist or sleep medicine specialist. There are many choices, both for pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. First, a detailed workup should be done, if it hasn't been already, that considered primary sleep problems like restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea. It's great that you want to improve your sleep - this is very important for your health.
