Chronic Insomnia

I've had insomnia for about 20 years. I'm talking about 0-3 hours sleep 75% of the time, and about 5 hours on a good night. I've got used to feeling pretty awful most of the time, and I thought when I stopped work, it might get better, but it hasn't really.
I've tried hypnotherapy, osteopathy, CBT etc. and of course sleeping tablets, but the cause has to be in my head, doesn't it? One doctor I saw asked me if I was happy, and I wasn't able to answer yes or no.
Anyone got any tips apart from the usual ones?
