No thoughts and prayers needed. Just cymexa. Please share the following with anyone you know suffering from bedbugs. This stuff killed an infestation my mom suffered through for years once she finally found it.
I would advise that you fix your sleeping problems, first. You need a good night's sleep.
IMPORTANT: Don't start spraying some stuff you bought at the store around the house to try to fix things. Those sprays lie; they don't work well at all. Safe with foggers. But using them will make the bugs hide really well, and probably spread them to other rooms.
Buy some Cimexa powder, some bedbug interceptors, and a mattress protector or two (one for your mattress and one for your boxspring.) You also might want to buy some painter's tape.
Strip and isolate your bed. Pull it away from the wall. Don't let your bed (or anything on it) touch the wall, floor, window curtains, or anything else. Then use the interceptors to raise the legs of your bed. Now if a bug tries to get in your bed at night, it has to try to crawl up an interceptor, and it'll get trapped.
Take the mattress and boxspring off the bed. Disassemble the bed frame if at all possible. Inspect closely and murder any bugs you see. I liked using painter's tape to pick up and trap the bloodsuckers without having to touch them. Make sure to dispose of them in a good trash bag, that will then be tied off tightly and thrown away outside immediately.
Use the Cimexa to make your bed frame a death-zone for the bugs. (Diatomaceous earth does the same things, but can be dangerous for humans.) The Cimexa will kill any bedbug that crawls over it, though it takes a while. Read up on how to use the product.
Now as you're putting your bed back together, seal the boxspring (if you have one) and mattress in separate mattress protectors. Make sure it's a protector that promises protection against bedbugs. I like the ones that they sell at Target, while I think the ones at Bed Bath & Beyond are overpriced. This keeps you safe from any bugs hiding in your matt or box.
Put fresh sheets straight from the dryer on your bed. No decorative stuff; it's just more stuff to worry about spreading bedbugs. If you cook your sheets long enough in the dryer, it will kill any bugs. (I've read everything from 15 to 45 minutes at high heat. I go with 45 minutes after they're already dry.)
Finally at bed time, take a good shower and wash your hair to make sure no bugs hitch a ride to bed with you. Either go to sleep in the nude, or make sure there are clean and freshly dried nightclothes already laid out on your bed. You also might consider buying some of those clear bins with super smooth sides to keep your clean laundry in. The smooth surfaces are a good defense, and keeping the lid on it made me feel better, if nothing else.
You'll have to remain vigilant, and not relax about keeping your bed a safe island. But once you have that - a good place to sleep - it makes the rest of this battle much easier. You can beat them. Good luck.
Very sorry about your situation..
Here is a treatment you can spread in the corners of the base boards close to living quarters.

Be careful with this as it will dry your skin out and it's likely poisonous to you.
Do the bed post cups too.
Then consider, spraying this ( read the directions; don't spread on surfaces of furtinute you sit directly on).

It is difficult to cure, heat treatment is the only sure fire way.. depending on your infestation level you could try the above and see how it goes..
I'd research more though, but I think you'll find this information useful.
