Frustrated as well

I have been dealing with my insomnia now for almost 6 months and is my first time ever. I have had a physical from by GP, been to my OBGYN and have found nothing wrong. I even went to see an acupuncturist. My friend is a firm believer in them and thought it would help, well nothing. I even went to a sleep doctor and they send me off to the sleep psychiatrist who keeps telling me its just anxiety, have seen a therapist and am now talking to a hynotist. The hynotist is more trying to get to the root of what may be bothering me, don't feel like it's anything hokey at all. I actually really like her. Anyway, my point is that I feel like I have tried so much and still can't get a good nights sleep. When I fall asleep I am up again in another hour, then hour and a half and this goes on all night and am not rested in the morning. I have had to resort back to my ambien cause I am just not able to function. I have 3 children and am scared to death of having a car accident cause I am sleepy. I don't feel like there is anything really causing me to be anxious. At this point in my life I feel lucky and don't know what could be bothering me so am not buying the anxiety thing 100 percent. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any advice? I exercize regularly, pilates, walking, biking, eat well, take vitamin supplements and I don't drink any caffeine, maybe a little piece of chocolate once in a while. Just don't want to accept that this is just a part of my life now.
