Insomnia 😥

Anybody have any tips for treating or dealing with insomnia. I went to my drs today and begged her for some sleeping pills, but shes saying recent studies have proven them not to be very effective. Im coming up of 6 days with 2-4 hours of sleep per night, im exhausted but fully alert, my mind is awake but my body doesnt want to move. Please help, i have 2 young ones that dont need to suffer because of this. I used to get a week long bout 1-2 times per year but since my youngest was born im going on 2-3 weeks per month for 8 months now 😭 i feel trapped in a cycle going nowhere with life, i cant get a job because i can barely function at home.
