If you are physically well, you can look into taking better care of your mental state. Being in a bad relationship can be very detrimental to your entire well-being.
Go to the doctor and then come back here to tell us what they found out...then we can look at other things that are possibly wrong :)

First, i'll cover sleeping disorders. They come in all shapes and sizes. They're aren't just had by those who can't sleep/ Tey also include waking up a lot during the night, taking a long time to fall asleep, always waking up tired, no matter how much sleep was had and the inability to sleep altogether.
Now, since you're having trouble with your bf, it is most likely that.
If your mind is running at 1000 miles per hour when yo lay down, then it WILL be difficult to fall to sleep.
If you don't confront your problems headon during the day, then this could also cause you problems. And what I mean is, do you have a lot going on, but you choose not to deal with it by simply pushing it to the back of your mind and not thinking about it? Beucase that would cause seepign problems.
Stress also would cause this. It affects your bodies in SO many ways, it incredible.
What you need to do, is find somethign that relaxed you. For me, it is my wedding music, My husband is deployed so if I listen to that, then it helps me to fall asleep. It puts me in a more peaceful state of mind, in a happy plave basically and helps me not to concentrate on how much danger he is in, or why hasn't he called today? Is everythign ok?
For you, it may be music, it may be a certain TV show, staring at a particular picture, etc. I don't know what would do it for you.
That's just my suggestion. I never got professional help or anything, so of course, I am not 100% reliable.

I remember being really anxious and balling my eyes out talking to my mom once, saying that I didn't want to be this anxious for the rest of my life. Then we went to an herb store. The woman at the store recommended L-Theanine for anxiety. It's a natural ingredient that is found in tea. Also, she recommended an herb that helped me get to sleep. You probably feel constantly tired because of all the stress that you are going through. When you weren't in this relationship that you are in now, did you feel this tired? Maybe if you can, you should try breaking it off with him. Idk if this will cause more anxiety for you or not. If all else fails, go see a doctor. It could be a thyroid problem.
