Insomnia? or stress?

Once again I find myself up in the middle of the night. Actually, I've been up every night for the past three days. It's getting harder to function all day. I often wonder if I'm up most of the night because I have insomnia, or if it's stress related. Let's see what the past 90 days have been like... December, I broke a tooth that shirred off down to the root like a glacier. I found a wonderful dentist who was willing to fix it before the office closed for Christmas week. My normal dentist, whom I don't really like anyway, refused to see me for weeks, so I was very blessed to have found this new one. I was a stranger to her, yet she was willing to allow us to make payments for the $500 expenses, so that's also a blessing. Also, Tim's unexpected bonus came the day before I needed to pay the first half, so although I was in her chair for 3 hours, and it was uncomfortable, many blessings were given to me as well. Christmas was good, low stress, and full of peaceful, family time with Tim home longer than usual. January, I found out I needed a "crown lengthening" procedure before the dentist could give me a permanent crown. Apparently, I have short teeth. Anyway, the way our insurance policy works is that we have to pay the $1000 up front, submit to MEDICAL first, get denied, then submit to dental with the rejection letter. We're just getting back on our feet, Tim's in a new job, he broke a crown in the fall we hadn't paid off yet, and my temporary crown meant for two weeks would now have to last two months. That's stressful. We decided to apply for a credit card (that will live in the safe, but we'll have it for emergency medical/dental procedures) because there was no other way to save that much in less than 6 months. We were fortunate enough to get accepted, but it still took a month from application to receiving the card. Stressful. February, the temporary fell off. Not so bad, but the dental assistant didn't want it to fall off again. Since the oral surgeon was booked until almost 4 weeks later, she hollowed it out and pushed it down hard, aggravating a nerve. It was so thinned out that it blew out the back quarter from the pressure just 48 hours later. The office didn't want me to come in for a new one. It now didn't fit, was bulky, had an edge aggravating both my cheek and my tongue, and was thin like a contact lens, so it was pretty loose. I finally got my appointment for the crown lengthening surgery. It was twice what I was told it would be. Both sides of the gums had to be done, four incisions, 8 stitches, and 4 weeks of gum healing before I can go back to the dentist (and have to deal with that loose, broken temporary crown in the meantime). I'd say that's stress-related issues. I did find the blessing in the situation, though. My friends prayed for me before the procedure. I ended up with better than expected results and fast healing. Also, my sister and brother in law came in just a few days later to take my mind off the situation. We had a great time. That first week, I had a "cold pack" on the surgical site, which looked like silly putty on both sides of the gum. That helped that crown feel more normal and even, and the pack helped hold it on. I slept great for a week. March, I had my one week checkup where the cold pack gets removed. Now that the tooth is virtually "taller", the temporary crown is even worse. It's like a large mushroom cap, barely balancing on a taller stem. It's boxy, broken, and has me VERY stressed out! If it falls out, the dentist can't really touch the gums yet to put it back on. The oral surgeon can't really do anything else for it since it was made too thin and it's broken. So for the next 2 1/2 weeks, I'm stressed, sore, and up at night worrying about losing it. I'm not really finding the blessing in this one. So although I've had insomnia for my whole life, I still feel that maybe this time, it really is the stress. I've tried relaxation techniques, peaceful bedtime routines, wearing myself out during the day, lots of chamomile tea, over the counter sleep aids of various kinds, natural melatonin, and nothing seems to be working. Any ideas? I'm tired!
