Menopausal; estrogen 69 progesterone 0.4. Terrible bouts of insomnia; some days no sleep, other days broken sleep. Any advice? Don't say sleep hygene.

Since I turned 44 I have sleep anxiety that wakes me up multiple times. I feel worse on an estrogen birth control pill, better on a progesterone only pill. But because I have a large fibroid, I have heavy bleeding on the progesterone only pill.
