I feel your pain. I have bipolar (rapid cycling) but I suffer more from the mania than the depression. Even though my meds have made be felt 95% better, I still am absolutely incapable of falling asleep. If I stay out late, i don't fall asleep until 4pm. Are you trying to maintain a consistant sleep schedule? Have you tried going to bed before midnight? For me the later it is, the harder it is to fall asleep. Have you thought about going to a doctor to see if you needs medication? I know not everyone believes in taking sleeping meds but in my opinion, the damage it does to you not sleeping outweighs taking the pills. Hang in there! your not alone.
