Has anyone tried orofacial myofunctional therapy?

Welcome Mel @melissasmidt, I had not heard of orofacial myofunctional therapy. I don't have insomnia but I have sleep apnea and it does sound like it could help with breathing and better sleep after looking at a few articles on the topic.

It certainly seems like something reasonable to try. Do you have insomnia?

I do; I've tried doing the CBT that was assigned to me, but I didn't get past the second set. I plan to pick it up again but it's not easy for me to go that slow (once a week for a set). I need all the info now and then I can slowly add routines to my life.
