Please dear God I need sleep

At this point I feel sick and have lost weight, but nothing is working. Things I’ve tried that don’t stop the 4am super wide awake and up forever now situation:

Staying up later
Going to bed early
Napping, not napping
Melatonin- low dose, high dose, extended release
Magnesium- all the forms
Dimming lights, living in darkness before bed
No caffeine after noon
Eye mask
White noise
Sleep hypnosis
Benedryl
HRT
Less blankets, more blankets, fan on, fan off
L-theanine
Chamomile, Passion flower, cat nip
Longer exhales, box breathing
Alphabet game naming random things
Counting
Yoga

NOTHING IS WORKING AND I’M EXHAUSTED
