Keeping a journal of sleep patterns and med times is a great idea, thank you! My family thinks that my body has body has become used to the meds I'm currently on but due to major drug allergies I have problems switching stuff up too much. I've also tried watching movies that I've seen many times, reading a book or even playing a game on the computer but now that it's cold out, I just can't get my pain under control. I understand what you mean about your roommate, my husband didn't exactly picture dealing with all of this either. My PCP gave me a sleep aid (Sonata) and it worked for about a month then it's seems like it stopped making me sleepy.
