Can't sleep

Good morning my fellow insomniacs. It's little past 5:00am, and I've been awake for more than an hour. I wouldn't mind so much, but I can't really do anything in case I make too much noise and disturb my neighbours. I used to do housework or bake when I had my house. I really miss that feeling of privacy.

I have been struggling with this sleep disorder for so long now. All I want is to be able to sleep through the night once in a while.

as they say..."I feel you."
I remember being ~6 and crying because I thought sleep was a waste of time, time I could dedicate to my interests, and still having to at least lay there and pretend. By age 8 I was sneaking into the family medicine stash and using cold or allergy pills to sleep because I couldn't take the anxiety of having my parents anxious about me not sleeping. It's still going on and I still view sleep the same way, though I also have nights I want to scream from the frustration.
However, I cannot stand sleeping more than my typical 4-5 hours (on 3 medications) by the third consecutive day. Then I MUST pull an all nighter or more and 'reset.'
