G-tube and insomnia

I have had my G-tube for about 4yrs and in the beginning I was fine. But for the past year in half I have a thing about hooking up if am not sleepy, I can't cause i feel so anxious. I hate just laying in bed being hooked up i can't do it, so i will wait and wait till am very tired and sleep is stronger. Which can be till 2or 3am, and in the morning i pay for it cause i am very tired. Even though am tired after working and going to school and feel that am tired. If i dont have a feeding i can get to sleep early and not have a problem. My doctor gave meds to help me fall asleep but I stop taking cause I would sleep to much. I hate going thru this everynight cause I feel my body now really depends on the feeding. It also started to wear me out. recently i have been ok cause i have been able to do feeding since i had gallbladder removed but am about to start up again and need to adjust and get to bed early. I thought I was the only with a problem.
