I can't sleep, and I fear I'll never be able to (bad sleep anxiety)

It's currently 4:55 and school is in 3 hours. I haven't slept at all and this has been going on for nearly a week. Every single time I have tried sleeping regularly I can't, because the moment I'm about to sleep I get anxious and start getting butterflies in my stomach. Right now I'm saddened by this, and 5mg or even 10mg Melatonin supplements won't work at all for me. I was able to sleep for 11 hours on Saturday and Sunday, but that's because I took Advil PM, but I don't want to be dependent on it. Someone please help.
