Sleep deprivation and chronic insomnia.

Question

Asked for Male, 28 Years

I have had severe chronic insomnia for several months. Many nights I get 0 sleep at all, even for 2 or 3 days at a time. I've been diagnosed by a psychiatrist with bipolar and PTSD. I am also taking several medications. However my question is not how to treat the insomnia, but how to alleviate the symptoms of sleep deprivation.
