My sleep pattern went to hell when my daughter was born 8 years ago. I went from such a heavy sleeper that a book shelf could fall on my head in the middle of the night and just roll over and go back to sleep (really happened) to being an incredibly light sleeper due to the anxiety of being a father. To this day, I still have sleep problems just like you.

And just like you, I'm at a total loss to fix it, and it seriously effects my work and home life. Espresso and coffee are my closest, dearest friends these days
