i fall asleep fine, but wake up like 5 or 6 times in the middle of the night, always thinking i overslept.

Poor sleeping patterns usually have to do with depression. There's a drug called Trazodone which can be used off-label as a sleep aid. It also has anti-depressant and anti-anxiety properties, though it's not an SSRI. Very unique and effective drug.

Melatonin
GABA
Benadryl


All 3 should work, if not, depending on where you live get some 1,4 butanediol. Works ridiculously great. Is a precursor to GHB. You could sleep for 3 hours, wake up and feel like you slept for 8.

I did 12 years on graveyard shift, I'm 41, haven't worked in 1 year +. I still can't sleep at night. I've tried, I can't sleep until 6 am or so. It sucks. Graveyard ruined me. 3 AM , I'm still at most alert level of the day. I can sleep from 8am-6pm fine. I can't break it ! I hope it doesn't take 12 years to reverse that curse.

Moral of my story is don't agree to work graveyard shift too readily.

improve sleep hygiene

don't exercise late at night. ok to go after work but not after 7 or 8. the endorphins are going to keep you up.
cut off your caffeine earlier.
keep ipads, tvs, and pets out of the bedroom. bed should be for sex and sleep.

this is all info your doc will tell u btw

melatonin should help regulate your cycle but do not use it for longer than 2 weeks
i wouldn't use benadryl longer than 3 or 4 days. your body will acclimate to benadryl very quickly.

I have been using that stuff for a decade especially melatonin

Also, get some temazepam. That will help
