Sleep apnea study!: Inability to sleep happens from caffeine to bad bedding. However, you probably have sleep apnea: pauses in breathing that last from a few seconds to several minutes, 5 to 30 times an hour. This apnea disrupts your sleep patterns by waking you up, consciously and unconsciously, and you will feel tired all day. Sex drive drops, overeating rises and it can be life threatening! get a sleep study!

Start with : No alcohol 4 hr prior to bed or exercise or eating 2 hr prior to bed. Sleep in a cool dark room. Reserve bed for sleep and sex only. Try melatonin 10-15 mg at night and if still not working visit your doc.
