I'm really, really sorry you're having such terrible problems. To answer your question, yes, there is obviously some correlation between your sleep and problems. More than anything, I would just chill out. That's first and foremost. But that's not really going to solve your problems in the long run. You need help. More than a doc, a confidant. I recommend good therapy to start, but that's entirely up to you. You're only going to respond in something you believe in. Good luck to you.

You are dealing with a mental disorder. You may also be allowing yourself to become phobic of sleeping. It definetly can happen. I know of a few people who have had panic attacks and become terrifies to go to sleep. or even get into bed for fear they are going to die in there sleep from the panic attack. Also, I know someone who was scared to go to work because he had a panic attack there. Whether youve had a panic attack or not, something must've happened for you to create this fear of sleeping. It sounds deeper than feeling sad. It is a more serious depression I think. You really need to seek a second opinion from another doctor if you're not happy with what your current doctor i diagnosing.

Listen to me please try not to be sad I know it's a very difficult thing too do believe me! There is no chance a fit & healthy human will die in their sleep! Sleeping is you body's chance to regenerate and you your brains chance to do some filling. Please stop this! You are in a never ending cycle? Now you have started self-harming! I am not going to tell you to do anything but please read this! Relax have a lavender bath one hour before you want to sleep.
But before all this heres how I got rid of my "demons". It's very simple honest you have you break cycle whatever it is then relax then have the bath then sleep then you have broken the cycle! Good luck I hope someone gives you the insperation to beat this! You have taken a very big step by asking this question.

It depends on what age you are. If you're teen aged it might be hormone imbalances that will level out in time. Keep talking positive and soothing thoughts to yourself.
If in your 20s or so, it could be stressful thinking patterns have developed triggering your adrenalin to over produce. Again, repeat positive self re- enforcement thought patterns to replace all the negative ones.

Did the Doc you talk to not help you? If not see another one. You may need to be on an anti-anxiety medicine. You need help, please seek it.
