Hi,
Sleep disorders are unfortunately very common and lack of sleep can affect different aspects of a life.
You would need to see your doctor to get a prescription for a sleep aid.
There are some that are over the counter e.g. melatonin or some of the older antihistamines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
