I went through this aswell and I can tell you that the only thing keeping you awake is yourself. Constantly your thinking "i can do this" but in the back of your mind your thinking "no i cant". The only way to surpass this is by letting it become so natural feeling almost as if its part of the process of falling asleep. Also as stated earlier your not being patient enough, it might take 2 weeks until you can meditate properly. Once you start consistently meditating you will no longer doubt yourself and will automatically fall asleep. It just takes practise.
