I am sorry that you are having problems sleeping.  Sometimes my anxiety would peak at night when I was going through this.  Things calmed down so much that all I had time to do was worry about the things that were bothering me.  Have you tried any breathing techniques?  There are so many different avenues that people take, but for me 'deep belly breathing' helped me to calm my nerves at night.  I also tended to use a white noise machine that helped tremendously.....keep us posted!
