yep completely!!! - i dont know where in the world you are... but im in the UK.. and its now 5.50am here and i havent been to sleep nor am i tired.. Its soooooo annoying... i feel so untired that i actually feel more awake than ever as if im on drugs or something... (which im not)... and it doesnt help that the only way i know how to deal with long boring nights where everyone is asleep is to over-exercise in my house...

I am a dance teacher so i start at 3pm and finish at 9pm... by that time after not sleeping for 36 hours... i am dead on my feeet... and need caffeine to just get through it with big bags under my eyes... and then the caffeine means i cant get to sleep again...

Its gettin really bad now... im gonna have to go to my gp and get some sleeping tablets or something again coz i cant go on with only sleeping for a few hours every 2 days!!

Im sorry i dont have the answer!! ive tried all of what you have too!!... and none has helped!!.. Just wanted to vent along with you and let you know, your deffo not alone!!!

hugs xxxx

Im in the same boat, usually 4 am bed times and work for 9...it makes you nuts! im not allowed sleeping tablets because i am on my own with 2 kids. nothing works for me until i hit the point when i cant function properly and my body essentially takes over not allowing me to 'push' through it...i've had may scary experiences with this. Its not always as bad, sometimes i sleep don't get me wrong...sometimes all i could do is sleep but its usually the other case...

I reckon if you are practising in ed behaviours its going to be nutritional...lack of or too much of something, may be anxiety? mine is a mix of both..hope you get sorted soon hun x

A lot of times if you're not getting good nutrition and you are stressed out, your sleep is the victim of this. I've had insomnia before, and it sucks. I've also had weird sleep patterns. I found when I was healthier in terms of my ed, as well as dealing with stress in a healthy way, my sleep returned to normal.
