Yo and congrats on first lucid! :thumbup:
It sounds like you are too awake for falling asleep. You could try changing the period between waking up and WBTB a bit or changing the wake up time or try doing less active tasks, experiment with it and find a time that works the best for you. :poof:
Also are your headphones comfortable enough though? Also i suggest you to work on developing lucidity related skills such as awareness instead of relying on binaural beats entirely for becoming lucid, but they are good for relaxation though. :zzz:

Remember as well, there are other methods for teaching/pushing yourself towards becoming lucid within a dream. I personally like induction methods utilising WBTB and WILD ports (FILD being my favourite).
Referring to your part about not being able to sleep or dream, I'm assuming you mean you're unable to become lucid in a dream? Remember, it's all about the mindset that you have when you head to sleep; if you're in a lucid mindset, cannot stop thinking about it and have practically being doing an indirect mantra in your head, there's a good likelihood those thoughts will partially port over into your dreams and create a scenario practically begging you to become lucid.
As Checker and myself have said, please take a look at the different induction methods, dreamsign posts, DILD especially, and if you're determined things like WILD and DEILD are really good ways of getting yourself into lucidity straight from the beginning of a dream, usually without fail (if you reach the dreamstate).
Good luck though, I'm sure many more lucids will follow suite. :-)
