Melatonin was/is a game changer for me. Good luck.

Yeah, that's called rumination. I'm prone to it, too, sometimes. It does interfere with sleep. I don't have any magic solutions, but exercise helps; so does studying a little bit about the subject. There are various self-help strategies out there (e.g., cognitive-behavioral, meditation, etc.), some of which might work for you.

p.s. Re. does MGTOW help with sleep, yes. I get much better sleep alone. When I was with a partner, I could never get good sleep. They were always touching me, throwing their arm or leg over me, which made me feel cramped and uncomfortable. Or I'd feel self-conscious about whether I was snoring. Plus, I'm a flopper -- I flop around from side to side a lot, when I'm sleeping -- and it's hard to do that when there's two people in a bed, even a big one. Sometimes they'd hog the covers, too (or maybe I would, and they'd yank them back). It's a lot simpler to sleep alone and have the bed to yourself.

L-teanine helps a lot to extend deep phase of sleep

For me when my mind is racing with various thoughts I mediate 10 minutes.

Focus on the future and stuff you can control.....breathe in and out and let go of the traffic in your thoughts.

Try the "calm" app or any YouTube mediate video

I'm young so I didn't have to try and take medications to help me sleep. What I did however was change the way I sleep. I employ a polyphasic sleep pattern, most days I split my sleep into two four hour periods and if you want you can split it further. Of course I have the privilege of working in a family business than working a 9-5 job so if this doesn't work for you then I suggest what I did back in my internship: when I get home I just take a shower and immediately go to bed. When I wake up even though it's the middle of the night I have a work out, shower, eat and trust me your body will signal you to sleep again. Voila, it's the next day and you're ready for another day of unpaid slavery (that's internship here in my country at least in my case it was a grueling 1440 hours split into 720 hours in 2 years)

I don't go to bed with any regrets. Best method of sleep ever. Clear conscience makes me more beautiful in the morning.

Back in December 2018, I slept in my car for the weekend (long story). I had the best sleep I'd had in years. I had one of those hybrids that allow you to run the heater off the battery. So I wasn't cold. Even though I was in my car, even though I parked in the hood sometimes, I got to sleep far, far better than I did living in my own apartment or my parents quiet suburban home. Since then, I've slept in my car periodically and I've always gotten the best sleep. I think it comes from being able to sleep under the stars. It gives me a feeling of, "I'm not stuck in one place. I can always move." and that settles my mind.

I've put it off far too long: I'm gonna build out/outfit a van purely for sleeping. I'll have it insulated for warmth; I'll have something to for my external heating and cooling system like solar, generator, or inverter; the most comfortable bed; food and beverages that help me sleep like tea, warm milk, almonds, salmon, etc.; and just have my space be an all-out sleep center.

What does this have to do with MGTOW? Since going MGTOW I've started to embrace the idea of selfishly trying to improve your life to the fullest. I was raised by a narcissistic mother. The very definition of one. So I was criticized for ANYTHING. I'd be criticized for one thing and then when I did what she told me to do, I'd be criticized for that too. So I had this feeling that I was the bad guy no matter what. Since going MGTOW, I realize things that society would consider selfish or unorthodox are nothing to be ashamed of. It's not wrong to have your own quiet space completely dedicated to your own comfort. So OP, if you can't sleep, have you created your own quiet space 100% dedicated to giving you a great night's sleep?

I was a Chadlight as a kid, so dated a lot, and I will give some weird, older guy advice: don't sleep next to your GF's if you start briefly dating women. Don't get used to the idea of sleeping next to a woman. I spent the majority of my 20's in a relationship and I've slept next to a woman a grand total of about three times in my life. Old married guys would get used to this and I think it is part of the reason for post-divorce freak outs. Get used to sleeping alone without the comfort of a chick. Just a weird bit of advice.
