Hello @nosleepsally, Welcome to Connect. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you having tried so many lifestyle changes and still not able to get any sleep. Another member @sierrawoods posted a discussion on adrenaline spikes that sounds similar to your journey and might be worth reading through the posts.

You mentioned you are thinking the next step is seeing an endocrinologist. Do you think an overnight sleep study might provide some clues?

Yes, but does one exist in which they measure hormones, blood sugar and pressure? I had a sleep apnea test many years ago and it was normal as far as breathing goes. I just am not sure what abilities or limitations sleep studies have. I see most sleep doctors specialize in pulmonology, but also saw there are some that also specializes in neurology.
