A lot of my issues stem from work - I have a hard time winding down before I can fall asleep and if I ever wake up to grab a drink etc., it's incredibly difficult for me to fall back asleep. I've started working on meditation to help clear my mind, but even then...

Indeed. Most of us suffer from work-related stress issues, which in turn lead to sleep problems, particularly after one crosses the mid-30s.
What has worked for me is a gym routine in the evening, avoiding browsing the iPad in bed at night, firing up a long podcast to listen to (something without music, loud noises etc). But meditation has been another big factor. Though I must caution you: meditation rarely has a quick payoff. So be patient and don't get anxious about results and keep working at it.
