Get a sleep study done to be sure that sleep apnea is not a factor in your sleep problems. I also have severe neuropathy in my lower legs. The burning, stinging symptoms prevent me from getting to sleep.
Try adding 250 mg of GABA at bedtime. I find that quiets me down. I use ibuprofen to deal with the rheumatoid arthritis pain and 50 mg Benedryl to combat itchy, watery eyes from the pet fur.

I hate when that happens- I’ve typed pages of things before and had the computer crash back in the day- not fun—

It’s for my folks- but I have those issues with he neuropathy too- got restless leg syndrome too- It feels like a dozen or so small needles sticking into my feet and legs- yet my feet have little feeling now, ie i can step on a pebble and not feel it-
I’ll look into that GABA- Thanks for the suggestion
