I suggest that you gradually taper off the sleep medicine. You can start taking half the dose immediately and and then further decrease the dose after two weeks. Also try these methods of sleep hygiene as mentioned in this article: http://www.**url**/2014/01/20/fall-asleep-wide-awake_n_4589634.html?utm_hp_ref=tw.
If this approach does not work then you should consult a psychiatrist for the same.

You seems to have developed dependence on the sleeping tablets. You need psychiatric education and strengthen your coping skills so as to face the life without the help of drugs. Approach a psychiatrist.
