Hi, I’m afraid I don’t have any answers for you, but just wanted to say that every word of your post resonated with me.  I have exactly the same experience and the same questions about trying sleep restriction and stimulus control.  The only thing I’m doing differently is maintaining a consistent bedtime around 9.30pm, and I also haven’t yet taken the meds prescribed Zopiclone (I’m in the UK).  Normally I would be able to go straight to sleep at 9.30, but over the last week I have not been able to sleep at all until around 5.30am, due to low level background anxiety which jolts me awake.  Good luck with your journey, you are not alone!
