Is there a medicine for peaceful and sound sleep? I hear very vague sounds and noises in my head when I try to sleep. They wake me up and I know the noises aren't happening in real life around me. This totally disturbs me. What can I do?

This may be a problem called tinnitus, especially if you have some hearing loss or are over 40. That is an abnormality of hearing, not sleep. It would be wise to see a specialist in ears, called an otolaryngologist. They can test hearing and decide what should be done.
