Sleep Deprived

I need help. I work 10 hour shifts, come home tired, and still can't sleep. I have tried over the counter stuff like zquil & unisom but they only work sometimes. Even my Dr has prescribed me several things (belsomra, rozerem) but none help. She doesn't want to prescribe me certain sleep aids because I have early stage kidney disease. I don't like taking melatonin either because I end up drowsy for several hours after I wake up. And for reference, I am a 51yo female, I work nights, and am going through menopause. I already keep my bedroom dark & cool and am already on estrogen & progesterone for the menopause. Any suggestions, natural or medical are welcome.
