I have chronic insomnia that got worse every year. Eventually I stopped being able to sleep without being absolutely exhausted, usually after 35h or more awake hours. Almost drove me crazy. Paranoia, auditory and visual hallucinations, extreme touch sensitivity, you name it.
Lucky, modern medicine pretty much saved my life. (trazodone, which was combined with mirtazapine a few years later.)
I later was diagnosed with ADHD, and after medication I find it a bit easier to sleep (although I still need the other to have consistent sleep). Biggest problem was my brain just wouldn't shut up (and got noiser and noiser the longer I was awake.)
