Take 10mg melatonin (over the counter) an hour before you want to sleep. No whiskey or cigars, though. You need to find another way to relax. Read or watch something boring. You need to de-stimulate your body and mind.
sit, one hand on your belly, another hand on your heart. Stay for a while. Get some oil. Do a little hands massage. Massage your eyebrows, the temples, the area underneath and to the sides of your lips, your earlobes. Take a breath. Let your shoulders relax and drop.

Firstly, deficiencies in D³, Iron, Magnesium, and B vitamins (6, 12, etc.) could be the culprit. Perhaps have some blood work done to check those levels.
Secondly, if you look at your phone a lot in the evening, right up until you sleep, pick up a pair of blue light blocking glasses - available and relatively cheap on Amazon. And, if you have a habit of picking up your phone each time you wake up during the night, move it across the room where that's not possible. Phones are a detriment to sleeping on so many levels.
Good luck in finding the remedy for your insomnia. I struggle with it as well. Ninety nine % of the time, it's my Mag, D³, & B levels that are to blame.

@LadyBronte thank you again for your advice and I differently look into it. My partner is better at keeping track of what labs I've had recently

@LavidaRaq 20 odd years ago the French tried to synthesize thc that was intoxication free, the problem is that it put over 100 test subjects into comas with brain damage, it was all over the news at the time, now all references of it has been scrubbed off the internet.

Zopiclone knocks me out for 6-8 hours when I need it.
