So, I've in a bit of a pickle at the moment. I've been a smoker for nearly 5 years now, averaging about 15 cigs per day. Recently I've cut down to 2 cigs per day (1 in the morning, 2nd ~2h before sleep). The trouble is - I've been having a hard time falling asleep, even after intense lifting, so it's either smoke and go to sleep properly or don't smoke and having a shit sleep and not be able to fully funtion the day after. What do?

Just keep trying to stop. I smoked for six years and of the last two I've spent roughly one year not smoking, longest stretch without was 6 months, currently going on 3 months. Eventually I'm bound to stop going back to it, it becomes easier to stop once you've managed it a few times.
If by recently you mean that you've gone straight from 15 to 2,then it's probably the addiction kicking in / trying to break from the habit. Either keep going and you'll get there eventually or make a more gradual cut - go down a cigarette a week or something.
Cutting down is retarded. It puts you in a constant state of withdrawal which makes you feel shit pretty much all day. If you quit altogether, physical withdrawal lasts about 3 days, then it's just dealing with the mental side, untying the addiction from your daily activities.
Read Allen carrs easy way to stop smoking book. I smoked 20 a day for 7 years and stopped cold turkey after reading it because it takes away your excuses for why you think quitting is hard.
