Tips for dealing with SYMPTOMS of insomnia during tests?

I am working with licensed medical professionals to figure out ways to sleep better, and I am doing all of the obvious things (exercising every morning, very strict consistent sleep schedule, no caffeine after 10am, short walk and no screens an hour before bed, blackout curtains, etc.) - which is all to say I am NOT seeking suggestions for managing/dealing with my insomnia.

I am looking for tips from other folks who deal with insomnia on how to handle the symptoms while taking the test - i.e. the mind-wandering, the impaired judgement, the difficult retaining information. Also, if you have insomnia and just had to retake and hope for better sleep next time, that's also honestly probably helpful to hear. Or if you got accommodations? Also would be helpful to hear!

Thanks!
