Hello devidas
Welcome to HCM.
First and foremost thing for your uncle would be to quit alcohol. You can consult a psychiatrist for a deaddiction programe.
Alcohol is a nervous system depressant but it disturbs sleep wake cycle.

Second is that you can give him tablet valium for sleep. This will help him in quitting alcohol and will improve his sleep.

Also he can some relaxation exercises like deep breathing, yoga etc.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
