Your enthusiasm about not being able to sleep is a bit disconcerting to me.

I have no difficulty sleeping without it. Maybe that should be your next goal?

Do you take any other meds or supplements or do you put (extra) effort in finding a useful/specific diet?

Maybe, if you don't already, change some of it to controlled-release (XR): just enough to make you sleepy in the evenings without taking it before going to sleep (whether you actually take any immediate-release at bedtime or not).
