I’m 34, 5’8” and 190 pounds (down from 220). I do cardio and strength train 5 days a week. I’ve been upping my carbs and calories this week to try and get some sleep. I was taking in about 1700 to 2000 calories a day and now I’m shooting for about 2200. I drink plenty of water, which is another problem I’m having, I’m pissing every hour at night so I really don’t want to consume any more water than I already am.
I would pin your trouble sleeping on being overweight or seemingly having some sort of bladder problem before blaming it on eating 100 carbs a day.
Id get it figured out, but there's seemingly much more likely culprits than your carb intake.

Hes almost the same age, height, and weight as I am, so I wouldnt contribute it to his size, especially if he was sleeping fine at 220 (which I am only assuming).
Id first look at what he has changed since he was consistently sleeping well. Diet and exercise routine has changed from nothing to working out often, and eating differently. Also, its possible his caffeine intake may have gone up if he is taking preworkouts now. Two things that hurt my sleep pattern is taking a preworkout too late in the day, and working out too close to bedtime.
