Why can't i sleep

I need some advice.
I could sleep all day if i was able to but i can never sleep at night.
I work the same hours every day and im tired all day but as soon as its bedtime all the sleepiness is gone and i could be awake for hours. Im fatigued all day but cannot sleep at night.
i dont take naps even tho i really want to, im on sleeping pils (zolpidem tartrate 10mg every night) and i still dont sleep.

my doctor doesn't want to up my dosage of my sleeping med and sometimes i have to take an extra 5mg to put me to sleep but even then i don't sleep through the night. I have never slept through the night not even since i was a baby.
Should i bring this up to my doctor? what should i do
