You may need to consult a psychiatrist for medications to help with sleep. Since you are already on antidepressants, it would be best to discuss your insomnia with your treating doctor. Alternatively, you can consult me as well.
In the meantime, you can try the following sleep hygiene measures:
-Use your bed only for sleep, and avoid other activities like using your phone or watching TV in bed
-Avoid daytime naps, especially in the afternoon
-Avoid screen time at least 1 hour before bedtime; instead, engage in relaxing activities like reading or listening to calming music
-Avoid caffeine after 5 pm
-Have a light, non-heavy snack if needed before bed, and avoid large meals late at night
-Take a warm shower and wear comfortable clothing before going to bed
-Try to maintain a fixed wake-up time every day, even if your sleep is disturbed
-If your sleep cycle is delayed, gradually shift your schedule earlier by 15–30 minutes every few days
-If you are unable to fall asleep within about 20 minutes, get out of bed and do a relaxing activity until you feel sleepy again
