re: Insomnia. What can I do about this? Will I die?

For reasons I cannot explain, I wake up around 2:30, 3 am every single night and then I lie there thinking about everything imaginable

Hey, you're not alone. Last year, exactly as I turned 50, this shite started happening to me all of a sudden. I started suffering from dry mouth disorder, which I involuntarily breathe through the mouth instead of nose. This caused dry mouth and that kept on waking me every hour or so. Needed to drink water constantly. I went to a doctor and turns out I have a nostril that it is not letting me breathe correctly and I might need surgery. I need a 2nd opinion from another doctor.

Worse thing that you can do is start thinking about stuff in the middle of the night, that will keep you awake.

What I do in this case I go downstairs, sit on my tv recliner, get a pillow and blanket, turn on the air purifier and most of the time I fall asleep. Not sure why but it works.
