The answer is obvious, no? Resume smoking, the insomia will take more years off your life than lung cancer ever will.

Wait for 2 years
In 1 year you'll feel ok, but during the second year many fall off the wagon because of easter/july4/etcetcetc situations where you used to smoke.
Getting to 2 years is a big step, it gets exponentially easier after that.

Identify poor sleep hygeine habits such as electronic use before sleep or drinking coffee late in the evening; take magnesium and melatonin an hour beforehand to aid in sleep. Consult a doctor if the problem problem persists.

But I don't have any other issues or cravings. It's just the insomnia.

How much physical activity do you get during the day?
On a scale of couch potato neet / desk job to working on an oil rig or a crab fishing vessel.

I've quit 3 times now and every time I've had frequent insomnia, which goes away as soon as I light up a few cigarettes again.
I'm beginning to suspect it's because of my ADHD. That I was masking or treating the insomnia with cigarettes (one pack a day smoker).

Try working out at least once a day, whether it's lifting weights or one of those gay youtube calisthenics tutorials or just jogging, what's important is that you fatigue yourself

Yeah, I too had insomnia when I quit. if you're too lazy to do what >>13861586 suggested even going for walks might help. Mine went away when I got a job that involved being on my feet for 8-10 hr stretches.

But part of you probably knew physical inactivity would contribute to insomnia. This might be a big rationalization on your end to start smoking again. Cravings can be sneaky like that.

I have ADHD and was a chronic smoker too. I quit by switching to vaping and tapering down the nicotine content from 10mg to 2mg; I was able to quit without any noticeable withdrawals or sleep issues.

Wait it out. It's temporary.

Also, take down the blinders. I'm serious. If it's bright in the morning and gets dark at night, that helps massively with melatonin and having a normal sleep cycle.

Use nicotine salts. The gopuff app delivers them in like 20 mn where I live. Super convenient. Download the app, and search "nicotine pouches".
I like the 8mg cinnamon ones.
Just hold it in your mouth, and don't swallow or spit for like 4 minutes.
You will still be physically addicted, but no cancer and since it takes longer to hit you don't get the same urges/craving.
