Brief Answer:
You can take Lorazepam

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

You can ask for a prescription for Lorazepam from your physician and take it for few days.

Otherwise, you can do yoga nidra before sleeping. It is available on YouTube and will help relax your nerves. It is about breathing while taking your attention on various body parts.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
