Military related insomnia

I've had a problem sleeping for years now, since I got out of the military. My PTSD makes it really hard for me to get more than 90 minutes of uninterrupted rest. Well last night I came across this video on YouTube from an ad that is used for white noise. I played it and got the most sleep I've had in years (5hrs constant). I'm actually in tears just typing this because for me, it's a sign of relief. Functioning like this has made my life very difficult. But I plan on using the same video tonight, so hopefully this can be a new trend.

Here is the channel I found: https://youtube.com/channel/UCXtO7wacHHed358g-NeND-A

They have a couple of different white noise videos.
