Hello Sight, welcome to Psych Central.

So for over a year you have not been able to sleep properly. Have you seen your doctor about this? Not having the correct amount of sleep for over a year is going to affect you in a big way. Particularly if you are missing REM sleep which is when the brain does the processing over what you have been doing during the day. Lack of sleep can cause you to dream while you are awake, lower stress threshold, impair your memory, trouble concentrating, depression, anxiety, slow cognitive processes, higher blood pressure and increase risk of heart disease. So it is pretty important to get that sleep.

Here is a link to an article about sleep deprivation >>>> 8 Effects of Sleep Deprivation on Your Health | World of Psychology

Please go and see your doctor.
