I am sorry to hear about your clinical insomnia. My son also has CFS and one of his worst symptoms for well over a year was a messed up sleep / wake cycle. Eventually it "stabilized" if you can call it that -- became less erratic -- so that he had a 36 - 40 hour day. Not as bad as what you are dealing with, but it had a terrible effect on him. He tried melatonin, Valerian, Rescue Remedy, with varying temporary relief.
We were helpless to do anything about it until it began to turn itself around.
What you are living with is worse than what he was dealing with and I can only say you have my sympathy.
