I feel for you, had this with my first, nothing helped, but this might sound weird but the way I got rid of it is I put ear plugs in, that solved it, I know your probly thinking how and tbh I'm the same but wearing earplugs made me sleep just try it xx

Try some chamomile tea an hour or so before bed, limit liquids before bed as well. I know that would make me feel like getting up to pee.

No electronics 2 hours before bed, it really disrupts your system. That's my bad habit.

Since I had a really bad allergic reaction, benadryl put me to sleep, though I try to limit any medicine intake.

If it's positioning, more pillows, ie between the legs, one to hug, one at your back really helps too
