Underlying issues, sleep hygiene and doctor are all first port of call to check out. Some herbal remedies/melatonin can also help. For me sometimes taking a bath and having some lavender scent helped just in promoting calmness.
I haven’t seen much mention of mindfulness for sleep, and for me nothing has been as effective other than prescription sleeping pills.
Medito is a FOSS app, backed by meditation guides from universities.
Body scan is a great first place to start, or try some of their “starting guides”. Meditation is a skill that needs time and practice, and sometimes you won’t be able to, but that just means you need to do something to reset your brain and try again.
They also have some sounds and sleep stories which are nice if you are into that sort of thing
