What I would recommend is to program your brain to sleep.

Our brains adapt and follow a familiar routine. The trick is to reprogram this so that your brain associate a certain action with sleep.

Many do all these before going to bed, drink a glass of milk, go to the toilet, read a book. The act of these is what makes your brain go into a routine auto pilot mode if you follow these up with sleep.

"Our brains and physiology like routine and predictability, so if someone has a routine each night of, say, watching the late news, having a warm glass of milk, brushing their teeth and getting in to bed for sleep, then the brain and our physiology recognise this behaviour as part of the preparatory process for sleep and respond accordingly, making it easier to fall asleep once we are in bed," Rogers told HuffPost Australia.

My personal experience, I have insomnia since college days. After understanding how our brain works, I decided to reprogram it and watch youtube videos to sleep. My brain will associate a specific youtuber's voice to sleep and will automatically fall asleep in less that 5 minutes. I have been doing it since for about 10 years now and never had problems trying to fall asleep.

I used to watch pokemon wifi battles with commentary. These few years I watch Kripparrian playing hearthstone, basically an online card game.

Go for a 5km run minimum once a week and try to reprogram your brain by associating an action or sound/visual cues to sleep. Give yourself maybe 2 weeks of applying this and see whether it works for you.
