No sleep

Still can’t fucking fall asleep when I want to....
No matter what I try, nothing works. Nothing.....
It’s been like this for about a month. My whole goddamn sleep schedule has been thown off because of one fucking little incident.
My normal schedule was I stop everything around 2:45am, meditate For about 10 mins, then bedtime. I wake up around 5am, have breakfast, then go back to sleep until 12:30.
I don’t need to hear shit about my schedule. It’s worked for me in the past, so no discussing it.
One night I was drawing an armor piece. I was trying to draw the back view of a helmet. I couldn’t get it to look right. I’ve been working on it for hours. Still couldn’t get the damn thing the way I wanted it too. I stayed up until 4am because I neeDed sleep. Unfortunately I was pretty angry because I wanted that particular piece done. So I dint get to sleep around my first half. Fine. No biggie. I had food, then went back to sleep soundly. I think.
Next night, I couldn’t fall asleep. Mind you, I already finished the helmet and it was done correctly. My mind wouldn’t let me sleep for some reason. What the HELL is going on? It takes me over 30mins-2 goddamn hours to fall asleep my first half. IF I’m lucky....second half it used to be fine, now that’s getting messed up. If something goes wrong just for one night, my mind goes apeshit over it
Ever since that goddamn night, my sleep schedule was just thrown off. Things don’t just happen all of a sudden.
I can sleep soundly once I am asleep. But I cannot FALL asleep quickly.
I figure it’s my brain worrying about if I’m going to fall asleep quickly. I’ve done everything to try to calm it down without jabbing a pencil in it. I can distract myself.... it once I hit the bed, my worries start right back up again. So all those distractions are pretty much pointless.
I’ve tried reading, melatonin (still doing that;now differently), chamomile tea, meditation (cant really meditate when your mind is in a constant “irritated” mode), breathing, playing with the 3ds (yes sometimes playing with it makes me sleepy).
Nope. Doesn’t help....my mind is too worried and I don’t know how to shut it up. There is kava root shit but I don’t want to use it just yet...especially if it costs 30$. Or get addicted to sleeping pills....
I just want to cry, scream, throw a tantrum. Sure it may not seem like a big thing for you guys but it is, Ok?
I just want things to go back to normal....
Someone kill me please....

Do you know what time you usually fall asleep these days? If you still end up falling asleep at the same time (4am now, maybe?) then try sleeping at 4am, then next day 3:50, next day 3:40, blah blah blah. I never tried it in such small intervals but, for me at least, whenever I try to give myself a schedule I purposely ease my body into that schedule.. so I usually try to give myself at least a week or so to return to a sleeping routine.
Maybe try that? ;u;
at 3 i would meditate. well..used to.
then maybe sleep around 3:30
yeah ive tried that sleep hygiene...didn't work.
its my mind. I can distract myself all i want and even in bed, but once its quiet time, my brain starts up again
