Addressing your question mark. No you certainly are not and are on the way to really, really serious problems.

Change your diet. Follow Anup's lead and research a low carbohydrate lifestyle:

Welcome Annelorraine! You will find this to be a very helpful and supporting group of people that are in the same boat as you. I am fairly new here too. But, everyone is so nice, so helpful, and are very knowledgeable about this dreadful disease.

However, I too, have the same problem you do. I haven't found any answers, yet. My doctors have prescribed sleeping meds but they make me sleepy all the next day. I don't need that. What does help sometimes, I don't take it all the time, is Advil nighttime. And I started having a cup of calming tea. Kind of calms me down enough to relax and go to sleep. I know, not much info from me, but I'm sure others here will have some helpful tips. Take care.

By the way, whom do you care for and what is your story, if you care to share.
