...and your mind is racing (usually with whatever is stressing you out), and all you need to do is fall asleep but your mind is convinced there's some other goal?
Is there a name for this?

Seth: What are you making?
Evan: I'm just drilling holes. Last two weeks, **** it.
I'd call it anxiety. Perhaps such a specific yet common phenomenon deserves a more specific term, but if one existed, I think I would've learned it from what little I've read of anxiety and insomnia.

Yeah, I'd probably just file it under 'stress'.
Last May-June, I had so much work to do at my job that any hour I wasn't actually at work, all I was thinking about was how much more I had to do for work, even while I was trying to fall asleep. It nearly drove me crazy.
