When I get stuck with one symptom giving me a hard time, I "ignore" it and go work on something else for awhile? If I'm not "dead" yet :-) and don't think the symptom is likely to make things worse than they already are, I put up with how things already are and concentrate elsewhere. Sometimes the elsewhere helps me with the symptom I'm stuck on too or sometimes it gives me more hope/ideas of things to try, etc. I just started yoga classes a few days ago and am anxious to see if/how that might impact my sleeping problems.

I have trouble staying asleep and often get up in the middle of the night. Sometimes eating a bowl of cereal or eating a banana (or both :-) helps me, probably with the nutrition/calcium/magnesium, and I can get back to sleep for another 3-4 hours. I'm idly trying to eat the cereal before bed, try various light OTC vitamins and other helps as well as adjusting when I take my meds, how much I eat/drink (I get up to go to the bathroom at night). Experimenting is fun for me and that takes some of the sting out of not succeeding with some efforts.

Sleeping isn't just "itself" and I have picked a larger issue, blood pressure to work on and study and see if I can effect. I'm losing weight and getting more exercise to see how that impacts things and while I do that I'm trying other ideas and concentrating on how I'm losing weight or getting more exercise :-) Just seeing if exercising right before bed or earlier in the day, how much to exercise, what kinds of exercise, etc. seem to influence my blood pressure and/or sleep makes it more interesting to me and less frustrating.
