I'm really tired but last night I dared go to sleep at 9pm, so I woke up at 1:30 and couldn't get back to sleep until 6am so now I'm scared to sleep early (for me) again :/

Has anyone here ever changed jobs without qualifications/experience and was successful in getting a new job in the new field? If so, how did you go about writing the cover letter?
Since I'm studying teaching and realise it is a lot of theory, I thought I might apply for a job as a teachers assistant but I don't have any experience in the field. I've been working on my cover letter and covered how I am studying my education degree, relevant skills I've picked up in my current and past roles, why I want to change careers and how I want to get some hands on experience so I can be best prepared to be a teacher and even mentioned it as an investment in both (the school and me) our futures.
I also mentioned Ive done work with kids for school talks with my books
I said I don't have any experience and someone told me I shouldn't mention that. But I figure being upfront about it is the best way to go. They're going to see it on the resume and even in the cover letter.
Any thoughts on including that part or anything else I should mention?
And should my resume cover my past work roles and all I've done or things that might be relevant to the role I am applying for?
Thanks,
Pretty sure I'm going to sleep the best I have in quite a while tonight. Nice and cool. Pretty tired. I'm excited to wake up refreshed tomorrow
Morning. My work day will begin shortly, but first there will be tea
I coated some pieces of cardboard with the matte medium to seal the surface and am waiting for them to dry. I should be learning figure drawing but can't seem to pick up a pen. I'm just constantly depressed and exhausted.

It is now
Some sweet dumplings that filled with a milky caffeinated gloopy please. I had a dream about these last night, don't know if they exist but they sound neato
Seem to have succumbed to whatever-it-is - I suspect a touch of the lurgie plus leftover exhaustion from the heat catching up.
Considering my work today would have likely been driving a 97 year old to do his shopping plus cleaning for a cancer patient who apparently is worse since I last saw her plus an immunocompromised father and daughter, it was definitely safer to stay home.
I feel like my body's run down at the moment.
I think I'm going to take the day off from work tomorrow and hopefully I'll be right after the weekend.
Right, Iโm stuffed. Last 2 sheets of pasty going in the freezer for Ron.
I sketched a head and a face digitally. Seems it looks a lot better when I use a reference.
I'm very tired but not sleepy at all and going insane with boredom
