I don't sleep very much anyway... 4-6 hours average (rarely 8, usually a little more than 4) But I do have similar problems, the not getting to sleep and the not staying asleep (after 4-5 days of ~2 hours of sleep I start to feel really drained.)

The solution I use from time to time is 5 table nano NLHE.

This seems to take the edge of my mind racing, is not stressfull since there's very little money involved and is not very engaging since it's nano + I get to make a few dollars.

Also, if you have insomnia of some sort + minimal sleep requirements you pick up a habit that most people never acquire, namely, getting up whenever you are awake. I suggest doing this, you'll make use of the time that you would otherwise spend staring up at the ceiling and it will help you get to sleep that night and the next.

Welcome to the zombie club. BTW when I was a carpenter I would always sleep a blissfull uninterupted ~5 hours....sometimes 8 if I worked 12 hours.
