It isn't always going to feel this bad. I too have a washing habit, and I know how it is to feel you can't touch anything until you've washed the contamination off. It isn't good to taking sleeping tablets long term, but perhaps you could get a prescription for promethazine. It's actually designed for allergies, but it has a side effect of making you feel calmer and often drowsy, so it is also used as a sedative and can help you get off to sleep more easily. It's for short term or occasional use, but it could help.
