I cant sleep

Sorry only just seen your post. I am usually awake during the night, but have just changed my meds and they are helping me to sleep again now. I can still override the tablets on really bad nights if my head won't stop, but they are less than they used to be.
I dread going to bed from 8 pm at night. I hate bed. It causes me such worry before I even get into bed in case I can't get to sleep. I now take diazepam during the evening to help me stop panicking to get into bed and then the new Olanzapine I am on is making me sleep during the evening.
I know meds are not good and I have tried meditation and body scans which help me to go to sleep.
