In the past year there was a study released connecting sleep problems with weight gain. That made sense to me. Although I have had an issue most of my life, I became a confirmed non-sleeper at the same time I started to put on weight. Of course my love of all things delicious doesn't help, either.
I am not a night prowler though. I have learned to manage my insomnia to my best advantage. I stay in bed, I don't watch the clock, nor toss and turn. I have learned to lay quietly and rest. I know how to quiet my mind and simply be still. I believe rest is beneficial, so even if I don't sleep all night I am restful. I do sleep, just not the whole night, I'm a 2:00 AM waker.
So, now with all kinds of issues in the world that legitimately cause sleeplessness, I guess I have a head start.

I have very similar issues. I can sleep and I do but I have never slept through the night that I can remember. I am like you though I can lie still and not move and be pretty peaceful when I am not sleeping however it does start to take its toll sometimes : ) I found that getting physically tired helps sometimes. But I other than that I don't know why I am sometimes more sleepless than others.
I hope your sleep is a little easier to come by in the next few days as you need it to recover! : )
