LBP, like you I have sleep problems. About 2 months ago, I started seeing a pain management doc and he did salivary hormone testing on me.
My hormones were/are totally whacked out, with my testosterone and cortisol levels both way too high. He had me do a liver detox and started me on a herbal med for nerve support and to lower the cortisol. It's called Phosphatidylserine. I also took Seratonin for a few weeks to get my body clock re-set.
I have noticed some improvement but still take a sleeping pill (Stilnox) about once per week.
Hope this helps.
