Good morning to you. Maybe try other ways to reduce and manage stress. Exercise, I mean good sweaty vigorous exercise, seems to help many people sleep. Bonus: helps with the weight gain too.

I suggest in order to prevent stress you become patient in your ways, and you stop scolding yourself whenever you do something wrong, it is human to err, in fact it is important that you do so in order to in the end get it right and learn from.

If you are unable to sleep get up out of bed and go to your lounge room, watch tv until you fall asleep, or find something constructive to do like a chore of whatever kind. Insomnia thrives on rumination (thinking deeply about something), something you do if you stay in bed with eyes wide open. Good luck with it.
