Hi Blackbird, my heart goes out to you re the long Covid.
This is just a guess, but I have heard of “long-haulers” being dismissed as malingerers, that actually you are not doing that badly and should just “get over it,” similar to people suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The closest I have come to experiencing anything like that is dealing with child abuse many years ago, and having to realize that most people who have not dealt with it cannot understand it. And that sometimes they can dismiss it as something you ought to just get over.
If I am guessing right here, maybe at least part of your current insomnia pattern stems from understandable disappointment or frustration or anger at how people react to you. From my own struggles with insomnia, I know that for me it gets worse if I find myself upset at other people’s attitudes and behavior. Hard to remember that we cannot control that.
I certainly hope that as scientists learn more about Covid, they can develop a cure for Long Covid in particular.
