Thanks everyone for the tips and advice!

NF, you are right, I think I need to find out what the root of what is causing my anxiety at night before I continue to take sleeping meds, which end up not working after several days.

Junerain, that is a really good idea.. I will have to give it a try! Thanks for letting me know about it!.. do you by any chance remember the name of the documentary? I would love to watch it.

Lynn, that's a great idea about getting a light box.. I will look into that, thanks! I have tried melatonin and I am immune to it now, even on the maximum dose. It takes a lot to knock me out.. 4 gravols.. no effect. 4 or 5mg of ativan.. nothing. 25mg of valium.. nada. I hate that I'm so immune to everything! I've tried everything I can think of to help me sleep.. warm baths, relaxation tapes, sleepy time tea... nothing seems to work My mind is just always racing so much at night, I can never relax and sleep. I hate it!

I appreciate all the advice and will keep you all updated on how my sleep goes, and hopefully I can get it normal before school starts! (I just got accepted into the Human Services Foundation program at college, which was my second choice.. still waiting to hear if I got into my first choice, which is the Social Service Worker program If I don't get into that one (it's very competitive), then I am going to take the HSF and then re apply to the SSW next year, (in which they give extra consideration on acceptance for that program if you have completed the HSF) .. I will know by the end of next week if I got into the SSW program... fingers crossed! (But if I don't get in, I'm still very excited that I at least got into my second choice!
