I've started chewing gum to help and listening to music but its not helping much. its not all the time, usually at night which is when i'm most awake. also, i can't get to sleep before midnight. what is wrong with me?
ps: i'm 15. the only time when it goes away completely is when i'm drawing. just a little added info.

Since it goes away when you draw, I wouldn't get too worried at this point. I think it might just be your body telling you it needs to burn off some excess physical energy. Perfectly normal -- unless you get a ton of exercise already. If you don't, add some real exercise to your routine. Our bodies weren't designed to be stationary all the time; we're designed to move around -- a lot. Exercise would probably help with the sleep, too -- just don't exercise after 6 p.m. or so. Start a routine to follow every night before bed: watching TV until you get sleepy, reading a book until you get sleepy, etc. If you eat a lot of caffeine and white sugar, cut back on that stuff as much as you can, especially after 6 p.m. Make your bedroom a comforting place to be in, and if you are really stressed about something, stress out in a different room; don't bring that negative energy into your sleep space.
That's all I can think of right now.
