Life-long sleeping problems?

So, I remember being the age before school years, and always wanting to 'fall asleep' on the couch rather than 'go to sleep' in bed. I always was that way and still am to this day.

The reason I am asking this now is because I have been sick and someone gave me Nyqyuil gel caps. It really helped me two nights in a row. Bed at 10:00pm, up at 6:00am. I am naturally an early riser, btw. 8:00am is getting up late in my book. Ok, now on to this problem. I have this hate of missing things when I'm asleep. It's hard to describe with words, so bear with me. It's a feeling of not wanting to lose time. Not a fear, but a dislike, a hate, an uncomfortable feeling towards it. It makes me not want to sleep. At night, I play on my phone, watch tv, or read on the webts in a row. Bed at 10:00pm, up at 6:00am. I am naturally an early riser, btw. 8:00am is getting up late in my book. Ok, now on to this problem. I have this hate of missing things when I'm asleep. It's hard to describe with words, so bear with me. It's a feeling of not wanting to lose time. Not a fear, but a dislike, a hate, an uncomfortable feeling towards it. It makes me not want to sleep. At night, I read on my phone, watch tv, game, or browse the web. I always must be doing something. Obviously, to describe the intensity, it's enough to keep me up passed 2:00am for as long as I can remember. During school, work nights, etc.

On top of this, when I lay down to try and sleep, my mind races. It's always racing, always has been. But you really notice lying in bed in the dark. My mind is constantly shuffling through ALL my past memories. I can't shut it off, and every memory I have from age 3+ is as vivid as always.

I'm going to stop here, I may need to ask another question about that in particular. As for now, does anyone else have these feelings? Is it called anything? Any advice on things that will put me to sleep or clear a very hyper mind? It really helped me two nights in a row. Bed at 10:00pm, up at 6:00am.
