Hope you finally got to sleep; only the zopiclone is actually for sleep. I use a bowl of cereal with lots of milk for helping me get to sleep if it's the middle of the night. I read or work on the computer to relax myself or play games if I don't want to concentrate on reading.

Stimuli such as screens, bright lights, etc aren't great for trying to calm down. Try drawing, reading, stroking your cat (etc), and that will maybe slow your brain a bit...

Olanzipine usually helps make me feel tired - tbh im surpised the diazepam doesn't help make you feel sleepy - i know it certainly has this effect on me! You've probably tried these already but i would take a hot bath, drink something warm and read something light before going to bed. During the night i take the covers off me for a bit then wait till im so cold i can't stand it then when i put them back and begin to feel all the warmth and coziness again this helps me drift off - what does your doctor think of all this?
