Only the first one sounds natural.
「~すぎて」という風に結果に繋げる単語として so を使います。(veryはこういう風には使いません。)
ちなみに、"that I couldn't sleep" というのが後ろに来ないとき、つまり「I was so tired.」だと、結果が来るはずが、「眠すぎて...!」と感動のあまり言葉に詰まった印象になります。
カジュアルな会話で感情的に喋っているときに使えますが、文章やフォーマルな対話にはそぐわない表現です。

The first one is an expression. The second one seems like the first one, just said incorrectly.
