Hello,
First of all we need to understand the root cause of your disturbed sleep.
Without knowing the cause it would be difficult for you to apply CBT on yourself.
Secondly, I would suggest to seek guidance from a certified professional guidance.
No two individuals are identical so the approach of CBT is varied from person to person.
You can learn CBT online but it is more than just what is being taught to a non psychology person.
Next Steps
I would suggest to keep a check on water intake.
Start moving your body because your mind is thinking most of the times.
Just 10 mnts of brisk walk will help you a lot.
Thanks

For sleep disturbances you should seek EFT Therapy the most effective and it will resolve your underlying root cause which in turn will give you a grand sleep.
I have treated many patients with sleep issues you can sure seek my professional therapy to get rid of sleep related issues. (The issue is not just sleep problems, there are past traumas and many underlying unhappy past experiences attached to it, which will be resolved during the session.
Next Steps
Seek professional therapy/ help.
Health Tips
Do deep breathing exercises, connect yourself with nature, also follow a walk routine religiously in the morning and evening, take shower before bed at night and if it's not possible then wash your feet before bed, don't wipe out and then go to sleep.

Wish you Health and well-being.

There could be many reasons for your sleep problems.. And if that is understood. Your problem can be sorted. You can seek help from any psychologist to understand your behavior better.
If you want to try CBT on your own, try asking some questions to yourself, try understanding why and what is the problem that is causing you to not sleep... For a start.
But would advise you to seek help from professional

Hi.. CBT is a treatment methodology like Heart Surgery. If someone can learn it online and perform on one own self than I would be amazed. Try seeking treatment for your concerns and let the professionals (psychiatrist/psychologist) decide on the best treatment suitable for you. There are plenty of certified professional available online and offline, you can choose who you like best. Mental Health Treatments are a combination of multiple domains and not strictly confined to one. So comparisons and judgements do not serve any purpose. Which treatment to be used depends on the case and its overall scenario. All treatments are effective when used in appropriate conditions.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Psycho-education along with Guidance and Counselling is required.
