How about the story of Samuel in 1 Samuel chapter 3?
St. Peter Damian also suffered from insomnia: catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=780

Can’t sleep? Go to Mass where St. Paul is the celebrant!
On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his speech until midnight. There were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered. And a young man named Eu’tychus was sitting in the window. He sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer; and being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. (Acts 20:7-9)
Paul’s homily went on so long that Eutychus fell out the window and died.
Paul runs downstairs, throws himself on the guy, prays and pronounces the guy alive. Then he goes upstairs and finally gets around to the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
But Paul went down and bent over him, and embracing him said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.” And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. (Acts 20:10:11)
Makes our six hour Easter Vigil look like a walk in the park.

Pray the Rosary! I suffered for insomnia for years as a Protestant. When I found the Rosary, I found a form of prayer that didn’t depend on what I was saying and led me into a real state of peace. I totally understand how horrible insomnia is and will pray for you.
