This may not help...
...but that sounds very similar to what I went through 10 years ago. What really helped me was completely changing my attitude to my disasterous sleeping habits - in the end it boiled down to no longer saying "shit, only one hour's sleep last night", but "Great, I managed one hour last night!" and then trying not to stress about it.

Slowly, very slowly, one became two, and now I'm up to six or seven, and the world is a better place (and those hallucinations at the corner of my eyes are hugely reduced.)

You are right, though, it's fucking horrible. Good luck...
