As someone who has had issues with sleep forever and who has a paradoxical reaction to sleeping aids (they make me tired but restless rather than making me fall asleep), I've found two things help a ton.  The first is a weighted blanket.  The second is a cooling pad under the mattress because I have a tendency to get hot in bed.  I wouldn't say I sleep perfectly.

My read of the article was that the whole thing (COVID-19 plus shelter in place) is making people very anxious and giving them insomnia, and so they are loading up on anxiolytics and sleeping pills.
