I've had terrible insomnia for pretty much my entire life. I've done it all ... the only thing that "works" is radical acceptance. I sleep, when/where/how I can sleep - time of day, place, other plans, doesn't matter. Or I'll just be tired, I'm used to that, I've stopped seeing it as a problem.

I used to sleep sitting in a chair in the kitchen for a while, because that's just what worked. Head down on the table, like I just dropped dead. Gave my daughter a good scare a couple of times, when she was getting up in the middle of the night to get some water, lol. But usually I get the most sleep throughout the day via little naps. It is what it is, there's worse problems one could have. :)
