Please help me sleep

I've had trouble sleeping for a long time (mostly waking up too early), but recently, I've barely been sleeping at all. I can't fall asleep until the last couple of hours before the morning, and I'm unable to take naps. I'm so exhausted right now that it seems like my body can't relax enough to fall asleep. I think I may need some short-term medication to get back on track (melatonin didn't help when I tried it the other night, nor did diphenhydramine the next night, nor did lorazepam last night.)

I did use Ambien a decade ago in another bad bout of sleeplessness, but I had a weird experience with it, and I'm interested in trying something else. I'm going to ask the doctor for recommendations for medicine, but do you have any?

I'm also open to other non-drug suggestions, though I think I'm familiar with most tips. I've been trying yoga before I go to bed, etc. Some challenges: it isn't possible to fully block light from outside of my studio apartment, I don't have anywhere to really hang out outside my bed if sleep isn't working, and there are some noise issues from the neighbors. But the main reason I think I'm having trouble is just intense anxiety about not sleeping. I'm having trouble not thinking about insomnia or worrying about the future, as the situation right now is 100% affecting my work.
