Oh my, sounds very frustrating indeed. I can relate as healthy healing sleep has been elusive for me for many years.
I put together a few threads you may find of interest. Please know you are not alone.

Hey there everyone! So, I have a few questions about sleep for anyone who has some advice. I have trouble sleeping like most everyone.
What are some of the things you do to TRY to get a good night’s sleep? Also, what time do you get up and what time do you go to bed?
