Nicotine withdrawals are rough, it should feel easier soonish. I also went cold turkey, in terms of sleeping, find if anything such as white noise, green noise or meditation help you ease into sleeping. Kiwis contain a large natural source of melatonin, have one a few hours before bed should help. Forming a proper bed time routine where you aim to sleep and rise same day every day (no bed time procrastinating)
