I've had similar problems. I think it's an anxiety thing. Ever tried mindfulness meditation? Basically you just sit for 20 to 40 minutes and focus on your breathing. It's been working well for me. I would also look into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy if I were you.

Anxiety used to be more of an issue for me, but hasn't been most days for years. I have found meditation very helpful in getting to that point. I could still do it more, but in terms of sleep I think it has helped as much as it can.

The frustrating thing is that there are a few things (that I can't intentionally do for any length of time) that seem to immediately cause me to feel much more rested after sleeping (such as being sick; I still feel tired in a way from being sick, but I actually feel rested and overall have much more energy than usual). I've had a shifting sleep schedule for a couple of decades now and my body has responded in different ways along the way.
