Not sure if I should post this here, but you guys might know.
I randomly can't sleep. I don't work out, but I work on my feet all day, sometimes 10 hours a day, doing something physical for a majority of that time (CNC machinist).
I don't understand why I can't sleep. I think it has something to do with my body rather than my mind, because I'm not any more or less stressed out than usual or have anything big on my mind. And I'm -tired- as hell, but like still "up", so what gives?
This usually happens when I've been working hard
Diet is decent too. Drink plenty of water. Non caffeinated drinks after 12ish. No alcohol.
Do you have a "chilling" routine?
use the 1-2 hours before going to sleep by preparing yourself for the bed-wrestling.

a chilling routine? idk what that is, ig not. I've never implemented any strict routine before and can usually sleep fine.
if you're that active you've gotta give yourself time to chill. take an hour before bed to read, colour in or do something else non-stimulating. when the insomnia kicks in I'm always thinking at like 1000 mph so I do the most boring thing I can think of, like copying down recipes or filling a blank page with circles
try vitamin d3, my gf says it helps

Insomnia is a self-correcting malady. Go without sleep long enough and you'll fall asleep. Get only a couple of hours a night long enough and you'll sleep 12 hours on the weekend. And while a regular sleep cycle is better, owing yourself sleep and then paying it off later won't do you much harm.
