PMR and Methotrexate

I suffer from chronic insomnia and since starting methotrexate (for PMR), about 6 weeks ago, my insomnia has become worse. If I do get enough hours of sleep I only get a few minutes of deep sleep every night. Since the physical body is supposed to heal with deep sleep I’m wondering whether the methotrexate is actually helping?
Does anyone else have sleep issues that could possibly be attributed to methotrexate?

Never thought about connecting my trouble sleeping with Methotrexate,I just had a lot of hair loss,my Dr increased my folic acid from 1 mg to 5,that stopped it

I def notice insomnia worsening with methotrexate. Have you figured out how to navigate this? I was taking it for PsA and psoriasis.
