Hello,
It seems from your description that your sleeping difficulties are due to an anxiety disorder. In order to deal with that psychotherapy is advised. If that is not enough or not possible to attend then you may discuss with a psychiatrist the prescription of medication such as sedating antidepressants which benefit both anxiety and insomnia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
