This is me awake but not bad at all. I feel for you morethan2 and wish
I could help you to get a proper night. The spare room will help and at least you won't be done for murder. Prison beds would be bad and you'd get a cell mate who snores.
Have you tried everything?
No caffeine. Lavender bag under pillow. Sleepy time tea. Yoga breathing to stop your brain whizzing. You'll be fine during the day. Ear plugs. We don't need as much sleep as we think we do and we'd like.

I’m so fed up with this battle to sleep. It used to come so easily even if I wasn’t particularly tired. Now I can be exhausted and still won’t sleep. Went to bed at 10.30, struggled to sleep must have gone off around 11.30. Woke up around 2 husbands snoring kept me awake ever since. I’ve got a school run to do then I’m off to furniture village to buy a really good bed for the spare bedroom. I’m reluctant to sleep separately but this is driving me insane. I’m tempted to put a pillow over his face and sit on it till the noise stops, best not don’t want to be done for murder, then again a single prison cell feels very appealing just now. Arhhhhh shut up mr morethan

I was up at 01.30am after tossing and turning but feeling completely wide awake. Made myself a cuppa and let the cats out as they'd wakened too thinking it was time for breakfast.

I probably only had a couple of hours sleep as I wasn't a bit tired. This doesn't happen too often thank goodness but feel for those who do suffer as a regular occurrence.
