As someone who has chronic difficulty sleeping (but not insomnia, if that's the case you should seek help separately), I find myself in the exact same position as you. I lay awake for hours at night even if I'm tired, because I just can't get my thought process to wind down. I also like to keep my room cold and wrap myself like a burrito to keep warm.
I've been told by psychologists and doctors that it's advisable to get up and distract yourself for a little bit (read a book, clean up your room, even exercise) as opposed to lying there desperately trying to sleep. I think it's helped me a bit.
Is it normal to sleep either rolled up or under a mattress?
