Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Almost all depressed and stressed individuals loose sleep because of their mental conditions. That is not a matter of worry. But how to have a positive think over that? Such people sleep for three or four hours. But say can't sleep. They can't sleep more than that because they are not active. Be active and sleep more. Learn relaxation technique and sleep better. Use psychotherapy to sleep much peacefully.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
