Why do I keep having nights where I can't fall asleep?
So far I've had troubles falling asleep from December through to late May.
Then I ended up staying awake for 3 days and my sleeping got better (falling asleep at around 1-2am which is okay for me)
Now I'm currently falling asleep at around 2-4am, with the added issue of some nights I just can't fall asleep entirely.
It's 5am at the moment and I've been laying in bed since 11pm.
I am tired and wide awake simultaneously.
This is the 3rd time this has happened this month.
What usually happens is I fall asleep at 12 to 1pm anyway for about an hour or two, then I will fall asleep at a reasonable time like 11-12pm.
I have deeply personal and hidden issues with anxiety and worry. No doubt that's playing a major part, but I can't do anything about my situation other than wait it out. I can't tell anybody either.
I can't get drugs from the doctor for my sleep issues either because I'm going into the armed forces and they wouldn't let me in with something like that on my medical record so near to joining.
I feel truly hopeless, unmotivated and depressed.

Just relax create a schedule and do not watch any movies play any videos etc 3 hours before bedtime. Make sure room is dark Put your body into bed and if you are addicted to your phone install twilight to turn off the blue screen at night to help you sleep.

I currently do all of that. I don't even plat video games either. I do have my phone in constant night mode, but I don't think that helps at all anyway from what I've been told.
What usually happens is I lay in bed for about an hour, sometimes two, little less often, three, and eventually get frustrated so I'll get up and do something and try going back to sleep.
Usually it works, but nights like tonight, it doesn't and about to do an all nighter.
