Yoga really relaxes me and I sleep really well after doing yoga.

Sleep disturbance can be a sign of overtraining (or over anything). Just one more thing to consider.
Um, and what about your age?

It does sound like you have a lot on your plate.

Benadryl antihistamine works very well for me as an occasional sleep aid.
You can get store-brand generic diphenhydramine hydrochloride for a lot cheaper.
It's also the ingredient used in Tylenol PM

+1 for melatonin. Here is what works for me: Take it 3 nights in a row, 1/2 hour before you want to fall asleep, it will reset your body clock. Then the next time you're experiencing insomnia, repeat.
Also, no caffeine after noon. No food after 8pm. Limit alcohol (sugar in the alcohol keeps me up).
Hope these tricks help you as much as they helped me.
