You may be suffering form insomnia. Insomnia means difficulty in falling or staying asleep, the absence of restful sleep, or poor quality of sleep. Insomnia is a symptom and not a disease. The most common causes of insomnia are medications, psychological conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety), environmental changes (e.g., travel, jet lag, or altitude changes), and stressful events. Insomnia can also be caused by faulty sleeping habits such as excessive daytime naps or caffeine consumption. What are non-drug treatments for insomnia?
Appropriate sleep habits are important in the management of insomnia. In some instances, changing sleep habits may correct the problem without the need for medications. Good sleep habits should include:
Regular sleep times;
A comfortable bed and quiet room at a comfortable temperature;
Appropriate lighting;
Regular exercise but not close to bedtime or late in the evening;
A bedroom that is not used for work or other activities that are not related to sleep;
Avoidance of stimulants (e.g. caffeine, tobacco), alcohol, and large meals close to bedtime;
Relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises; and
Avoidance of naps during the day.

Yes. When I have too many things on my mind and I have to do them all within the next day. My mind keeps working all the ways to get everything done. Then, because I can't sleep, I get up and start those things I can't get out of my mind. I then grow tired and go to bed and fall asleep.

Yes. This happens because your body's circadian rhythm actually starts over again if you have not gotten enough sleep.
Your circadian rhythm is basically the cycle that you go through every day. You sleep for x amount of hours, are awake for x amount of hours, and so on. Your body gets used to this rhythm, and when you fail to go to sleep one night, the rhythm knows it is time for you to be awake again. This does not mean you will not be able to sleep, but that is where the "second wind" comes from.

i think there are many problems with sleeping with someone. I like cuddling and doing some other stuff in bed but actual sleeping can get annoying. I prefer to sleep alone.

Yeah, it's annoying. It's as if your body is so tired that you have to stay awake just to make sure you keep breathing.

perhaps you could try to lie down before sleeping. Just standing and hugging the wall is not likely to be restful for anyone.
