I am unable to sleep. I feel anxious all the time. Please help. My life is impossible these days

I can't help you but I can relate. Anxiety keeps me up as well. I haven't been to sleep before 6AM in 3 nights and then I can't get myself out of bed until like 1 in the afternoon. It sucks. I've tried Benedryl and other things but it only works for a little bit.

how to stay in bed without sleeping.

That's too bad. Maybe you should go outside and do some activities that makes you tired and weary. Hence, you can sleep earlier.

Try staying up once the dawn has broken, even if you are exhausted, and then go to bed early after tea and sleep until the next day. Like when you travel to the USA. It is the best way to get over jet lag and reset your body clock. Also, take any lights out of your room, such as clock radios, indicator switches etc. Play some audio book that is really boring to provide gentle background noise. Have a cup of warm milk before you go to bed. Do not warm up the bedroom, but use another blanket if you are cold. If you wake in the night do not turn on the light, but put the audio book back on. It takes away the silence and helps you go back to sleep.

Once upon a time, when we were teenagers, staying up all night and going to work the next day was called having fun. Anyone skipping work due to partying was called a baby.
