What's particularly frustrating about lack of sleep (really any chronic illness that effects the brain) is that it hinders almost all goals. As far as I'm aware there is little to no silver lining. Add to that the fact that ruminating on sleep issues tends to just make them worse, and it's easy to spiral into a self-defeating cycle.

I'd be interested in a post that examines a rationalist approach to tackling sleep issues.
