I struggled with a very similar situation 2 years ago and my heart goes out to you - it can be brutal. But I did want to offer a ray of hope. After trying everything under the sun for months (including benzos), someone told me about CBTI (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia). Rather than go into all the details, just Google it. Its really the only proven successful (non-drug) way of dealing with insomnia (notice I did not say 'cure'). My only advice for those looking into CBTI is DO NOT TRY TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN. Its a very rigorous program that should be supervised by a doctor who specializes in CBTI. If you try it on your own, you are likely to fail - it can be a challenging program to follow through on. Be careful about the benzos. They are extremely habit forming (again Google it) and can be difficult to stop. One key point that my CBTI doctor talked about. Sleep is generally a combination of 2 factors. Your natural daily rhythm (day = awake; night = sleep) and how long its been since you last slept (ie. nap at 6PM is bad idea). If either one of these gets out of whack, sleep will be difficult. CBTI helps you align these two factors. Lastly, in my case, I believe the insomnia was a symptom of a depression that I found myself in. Treating the depression along with CBTI was (literally) a lifesaver for me.
